| |
Hi all,
I would like to know about some things regarding the current scheme of things in the linux kernel compilation procedure on Debian machines.
Its a bicth is that if I have to compile specific modules against a specific kernel version ( against header files from that specific version ).
The problem being that because of the kernel-headers package, the gcc (in kernel make procedure) will pick up the kernel headers from the package specific directories but not from the /usr/src/linux path where my specific files reside.
The work-around though simple that to change the -I in the gcc path is not simple as the frame-work is like very rigid about the headers path in the linux kernel.
How do I make my kernel to take the kernel headers from an alternate location. There should have been an alternate way to specify at a single location the alternate configuration of the header file location. But this does not seem to be the case.
Thanks,
Warm Regards,
Chaitanya V. Hazarey
