includes?
I am pretty sure that I have seen this discussed in the past, but I can't
seem to find it in the mailing list archives.
What is the deal with the include directories? My specific problem is
that I am trying to install the 2.0.36 kernel, with a Pentium performance
counter patch from the Beowulf project. Now I made the patch, and used
make-kpkg to build the kernel-headers and installed that.
The perf patches have an additional header file, which did appear in the
/usr/src/linux sym linked directory which was installed from the header
package that I just created.
But when I try to build the perf patch library, it can't find that header
file! And then I realized that /usr/include has no links to
/usr/src/linux. So what is the point in installing header packages?
What am I missing? How are these header files supposed to be accessed by
users at compile time?
(Please CC to me directly, I'm not on the list any more; mail server
problems.)
