Errors compiling tulip driver - help needed

Hi listers,

this is my first post to the list. I'm a newby when it comes
to compiling anything other than the Linux kernel. Please bare
when me. I have a Linksys 10/100 Mbps Network card in my computer.
I am running Slackware Linux with kernel 2.4.18. I have downloaded
files Makefile, kern_compat.h, pci-scan.c, pci-scan.h and tulip.c
from ftp.scyld.com into a work directory. I then submitted the
compile command like so :

root@john:~/drivers/nic/linksys/work#
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall -Wstrict-prototype
s -O6 -c tulip.c `[ -f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] &&
echo -DMODVERSIONS`

I immediately get the following errors :

I know that the output is suppose to go to /lib/modules/2.4.18/net/tulip.o
but there is nothing there!
I have a feeling that I am missing something really simple.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Jim.
