Directories named by -I are searched before the standard system include directories. Therefore a flag like -I/path/to/kernel/headers shall suffice, isn't it? Anyway, I tried adding -nostdinc but it breaks the compilation of my kernel modules: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/kernel.h:10: stdarg.h: No such file or directory stdarg.h is a compilation header (not part of the kernel tree) and -nostdinc tells the compiler not to look for the standard include locations so it can't find it. So either I use -I/path/to/stdarg.h or not use -nostdinc. Any other options? -- Pedro -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
