Which linux-headers project is that? The CLFS one? For x86, there's no reason to not use the sanitization scripts that are shipped with the kernel, i.e. make headers_install. Is this what you refer to as the "raw" headers? The real raw headers expose internal API of the kernel, and thus should only be used in the kernel. The process of sanitizing removes this internal API to provide headers to userspace exposing the external API. That's what you put in /usr/include. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
