Custom Kernel Headers problem


Hi everybody,

I want to try the 802.15.4 support in a git version of the Linux Kernel. I use UML, this works well but I suppose the kernel headers are in the include directory of the tree. I can't compile the 802.15.4 userspace tools, configure doesn't find .h files...

It's an Ubuntu 9.04. Where do I need to put the includes to make it work ???

Many thanks

Typically the headers would go in /usr/src, with the appropriate version such as 'linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686'. You would then make a symbolic link called 'linux' that points to this directory.

The system kernel headers are in /usr/include/linux/
and /usr/include/asm , /usr/include/asm-generic ,
/usr/include/drm/ , provided by the package 'linux-libc-dev'
.....

If you want to use /usr/src/// headers , examples :
./configure CC="gcc -I/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-11/include/"
make CC="gcc -I/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-11/include/"
( -I is an upper case i.)

... or ..
./configure \
CC="gcc -I/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-11/include/ -I/usr/include/"
.. to use both path's.
.....
