On statistical anomalies.   

 Add to that the fact that few programs really need the more

  volatile elements of the header files (that is, things that really
  change from kernel version to kernel version), [before you reject
  this, consider: programs compiled on one kernel version usually work
  on other kernels]. For the few that do need specific kernel headers,
  ^
  !!!
  use -I/usr/src/kernel-headers-version or some thing for a specific
   
  kernel version, or -I/usr/src/linux/include for the latest set of
   ^
  headers installed..
   ^^^

No thank you.  

 
 Most programs, even if they include linux/something.h, do
  ^
  not really depend on the version of the kernel, as long as the kernel
  versions are not too far off, they will work. And the headers
  provided in libc5-dev (and libc6-dev) are just that. 


The solution is to separate out the two sets of header files:
 
 

   I, for one, applaud Bruce Perens's efforts to standardize various issues.
   This is one that has continually been a sore point for me, standing in

   a standardizable solution, but that Debian will work most of the time,
   but not all the time, except for hackers who are alert enough to catch
   this and remember the required kludges.  Congratulations on an
   ingeniously intricate, illusory and superfluous solution to what appears
   (at least to others who must compile the kernels)to be a trivial problem,
   or not a problem.  
   
   In held and in trepidation, for over a year.  Save this
   kludge,  the nightmarish dselect,  now the fact that apt WON'T EVEN
   RUN if any of the required packages are self-installed (except for a
   proxy package setup that won't work), Debian GNU/Linux has been a most
   pleasing system to use for the past 2-3 years.  Say what you will.
   
   GNU packages, even emacs20, compile out of the box, and self install.  If
   there were a way (without debianizing or other patch-ification) to have
   these packages, installed by make, register themselves and 
   completely uninstall themselves, a significant part of the need
   for self-logging installations (and note the extensive checking done in
   the ./configure step!) would be met.  Imagine a dpkg that would check if
   a compatible library actually existed on the system!  
   
   That having been said, it sure is nice to install smail, and have a
   working mail system.  And many programs I couldn't compile myself have
   been compiled by others and made available.  I thank the developers.

$Id: README.headers,v 1.4 1998/01/30 01:26:20 srivasta Exp $

 This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the Linux kernel
 headers. Linux was written by Linus Torvalds
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] and others.

 This package was put together by Simon Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED], from
 sources retrieved from directories under
 ftp.cs.helsinki.fi:/pub/Software/Linux/Kernel/

 This package contains the Linux kernel header files. 


 Kernel Headers and libc6-dev package
 
 

Need for kernel include files
 === == === =
   
Even though GNU libc 2.0 (a.k.a. libc6) provides an uniform
 interface to C programmers, one should realize that it needs
 different underpinnings on different architectures and operating
 systems (remember, glibc2 is multi-OS).

glibc provides all the standard files that the C standard and
 POSIX require, and those in turn call in OS and platform specific
 headers as required transparently to the user. There is an a complete
 divorce of the kernel-level interface from the user-level interface:
 the application programmer does not need to know kernel level details
 at all.

 But this has been taken by some to mean that
 /usr/include/{linux,asm} would be superfluous, which is a technical
 impossibility given that glibc2 is not an architecture and OS
 specific library.

I do not believe it is easy for glibc to present an interface
 that does not match the underlying OS, and quite possibly people just
 punted. If there is a mismatch between the user level structures and
 the kernel level structures, then libc6 library shall have to install
 translating wrappers around system calls (not such a great idea for
 high performance systems). I can foresee cases where it would not be
 possible to implement these wrappers, given a sufficiently large set
 of architectures and OS's.

In the case of Linux, the kernel header files are the
 underpinnings of the architecture independent interface.

Take a simple general ANSI C include file like errno.h. This
 in turn includes /usr/include/errnos.h, which includes
 /usr/include/linux/errno.h, which in turn includes
 /usr/include/asm/errno.h. See? A simple, standard include file like
 errno.h, and one needs kernel include files for that.

   Traditional two symlink approach
   === === ===   

Under libc5, it was standard for part of the user interface to
 libc to be exported from the kernel includes, via /usr/include/linux
 and /usr/include/asm.  Traditionally, this was done by linking those
 two directories to the appropriate directories in
 /usr/src/linux/include.  This is the method documented in the install
 instructions for the kernel sources, even today.


   Why that is bad
   ===  == ===

Kernel headers no longer make sense exporting to user space
 (in early days of Linux, that was not true). It is beginning to get
 harder to synchronize the libc and the kernel headers as in the old
 days; now linking with the latest kernel headers may subtly break new
 code since the headers linked with are different from the compiled
 library. In addition, the specter of programs breaking with new
 kernel headers was preventing needed new features from being added to
 the kernel (and damping innovative experimentation in kernel
 development) (see appendix A for details).
  
Besides, the kernel itself no longer needs /usr/include/linux/* 
  at all, so keeping the libc and kernel headers the same aren't
  needed for kernel development.

The headers were included in Debian's libc5-dev after a rash
 of very buggy alpha kernel releases (1.3.7* or something like that)
 that proceeded to break compilations, etc.  Kernel versions are
 changed far more rapidly than libc is, and there are higher chances
 that people install a custom kernel than they install custom libc.

Add to that the fact that few programs really need the more
 volatile elements of the header files (that is, things that really
 change from kernel version to kernel version), [before you reject
 this, consider: programs compiled on one kernel version usually work
 on other kernels]. For the few that do need specific kernel headers,
 use -I/usr/src/kernel-headers-version or some thing for

Thanks for the article. Very cool indeed.

Now, I'm running into a problem that might be related to this 2.0.32
headers (which was the reason I wanted to get rid of them). Maybe you
can help on this.

I have a OSS license -- the non-kernel sound card modules. Even though
I'm pretty sure mostly everyone knows what I'm talking about, here it
goes: 

http://www.4front-tech.com/linux.html

After I upgraded my kernel to 2.0.33 (I believe, even though I'm not
sure), I started having problems trying to install the OSS files in my
system.

It needs to compile a sndshield which is very attached to the kernel
version. Here it goes (coments after --*-- marks):

nr# make clean
nr# make install
sh ./check_shields.sh
cc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -DMODVERSIONS -c sndshield.c -o sndshield
cp sndshield ./modules

--*-- It links to /usr/src/linux, which is 2.0.33:

nr# ls -l /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root src20 May 13 14:54 /usr/src/linux - 
kernel-source-2.0.33

--*-- in a system that is 2.0.33:

nr# uname -a
Linux nr 2.0.33 #2 Sun May 10 16:44:29 EST 1998 i586 unknown

--*-- But, as a Debian, has the 2.0.32 stuff:

nr# ls -ld /usr/src/kernel*
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root 1024 Mar 12 07:54 
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.0.32
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root 1024 Mar 10 08:00 
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.0.33
drwxr-xr-x  15 root root 1024 May 13 14:52 
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.33

--*-- Now, when I try to execute soundon, it fails:

nr# soundon
Loading sndshield failed. You may try to execute the following
commands to fix the situation:

cd /usr/local/lib/oss;make install

If loading sndshield still fails after that, please contact
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for help (enclose the soundon.log file
and possible (make/compile) errors with your message).

--*-- And examining the log, I find that it thinks sndshield was compiled
--*-- against 2.0.32. Is this related to the kernel-headers 2.0.32? Is there
--*-- a -I or something I could use to fix it?

Re: 2.0.33 is no good for lic6-dev ?

Hi,

Hmm. if you use -I/usr/src/linux/include, then as far as I can
 see; it should link with those files (as you state further, it is
 linked to kernel-source-2.0.33). What toerh files you happen to have
 elsewhere should not make a difference. How is sndshield getting to
 know about 2.0.32? 

Well, try putting in -I/usr/src/linux/include for every file
 compiled in the tree; and see if that improves things. 

At the last resort, you can try mkdir /usr/src/tmp; mv the
 2.0.32 headers there, and create a symlink from kernel-source-2.0.33
 to kernel-headers-2.0.32; compile the module, and restore things to
 the way they were for the other 99.99% of the code that is well
 behaved (or less dependent on kernel versions).
