The top level Makefile.am hard codes /usr/include/linux/input.h for use in

cross environment's linux/include.h not /usr/include/linux/input.h.

I have attached a patch that determines the correct linux/include.h file
during configure. The configure change makes use of the AX_ABOLUTE_HEADER
http://www.nongnu.org/autoconf-archive/ax_absolute_header.html, which the
patch adds to the m4.

Why is all this magic needed? Can't you just use:
   extras/keymap/keys.txt: $(includedir)/linux/input.h

Thanks,

Using ${includedir} is not sufficient because ${includedir} is in the run time path. The cross build files are installed in ${DESTDIR}${includedir} not ${includedir} on the build system.

For me, ${DESTDIR}${includedir} would be sufficient. However, I figured that depending on a detection macro used by (and therefore fixed for) multiple packages on multiple distributions was better than hard coding ${DESTDIR}${includedir}.
