[Serusers] How-to write a custom module

Samuel: A while back you responded to one of my posts about writing modules for SER. I am currently writing a module and I have an issue I do not understand. I'm hoping you can help. I created a directory under the ser-0.9.7-pre3/modules source directory on my server and placed my code there along with a Makefile. If I make the code from this directory it compiles with two warnings including one about running make from the main directory. If I cd to the main directory and run make clean my new subdirectory is visited as expected. If I then run make my modules does not get compiled. I believe the new directory is not recognized but I cannot figure out why. Would you hapen to be able to explain this behavior? Thank you, Steve
