module compilation

How can I recompile module that was built for a certain kernel (2.4.20-8) to work with a customly built kernel (2.4.20-8custom)-for example.
thanks.

If the module is part of the Kernel source and you have configured your kernel accordingly a make modules should build it.

and if now, you should use something like

cc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -O2 -I/usr/src/linux/include
-DSVGALIB_HELPER_MAJOR=209 -c -o main.o main.c

Usually you will found such command line into module .c file or you'll get some installation script or even source rpm.

Probably you didn't understand.I have this module for anti virus. it was built for specified above kernel and doesn't work on custom (also specified above) kernel. How can I adjust this module to work on custom kernel.
