How to make use of the current source tree's include file?

[Xin LI]

Hi, Ruslan,

I am recently working on a patchset that would provide mini-crashdump
which needs to include a newly added include file into /sys/sys/ from
the kgdb(1) source code.  I have used the following line to make this
possible, in the latter's Makefile:

CFLAGS+=-I${.CURDIR}/../../../../sys/

However I'm under the impression that there is some better ways to
archive this, will you please give me some hints?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

This line would be redundant when you make buildworld -- in this
case, the fresh headers are used.

But if you are looking for a way to compile a program with a new
(previously non-existent) header, the above makes sense.
Alternatively, you can make .. DEBUG_FLAGS=-I${.CURDIR}/.../sys
without modifying the makefile.
