10.5. Linux-Headers-2.6.24.7

The Linux Kernel contains a make target that installs “sanitized” kernel headers.

10.5.1. Installation of Linux-Headers

For this step you will need the kernel tarballs.

Install the header files that are common to all architectures:

make mrproper
make headers_check
make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install
cp -rv dest/include/* /usr/include

10.5.2. Contents of Linux-Headers

Installed headers: /usr/include/{asm,asm-generic,linux,mtd,rdma,scsi,sound,video}/*.h
