I have linux kernel source in a directory (say) /home/autif/linux-2.6.29.4 I can make xconfig followed by make bzImage, followed by make modules Now, I can install the modules using "make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/home/autif/2.6.29.4.modules" - This works beautifully, without any issue. I have tried to install the kernel headers using "make headers_install INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/home/autif/2.6.29.4.headers" I can tar and extract these modules and headers on some other computer (target computer) at the right location. Meaning that modules are extracted to /lib/modules/2.6.29.4/ and "build" is symlinked to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.29.4 - where I extracted the headers. However, I only get the include directory. When I try to build a driver on the target computer, there is complaint that I do not have a Makefile in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.29.4 The build produces something like 1.5 GB of files and this is too much for my target system. I am reluctant to build the driver on the build system and want to build it on target. Both build and target are i386 systems (one a full blown Debian based), the other something somewhat based on LFS. So, my short problem is - what make command I need to execute to install the build dependencies (including headers, Makefiles and other stuff that may be required by the driver) to copy that stuff over to a custom directory (say /home/autif/2.6.29.4.build_dependencies) so that I can tar it up and extract is on my target system at (say) /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.4 Thanks Autif _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
