The "make headers_install" command can be run in the top level directory of the
kernel source code (or using a standard out-of-tree build). It takes two
optional arguments:
make headers_install ARCH=i386 INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr/include
ARCH indicates which architecture to produce headers for, and defaults to the
current architecture. The linux/asm directory of the exported kernel headers
is platform-specific, to see a complete list of supported architectures use
the command:
ls -d include/asm-* | sed 's/.*-//'
INSTALL_HDR_PATH indicates where to install the headers. It defaults to
"./usr/include".
The command "make headers_install_all" exports headers for all architectures
simultaneously. (This is mostly of interest to distribution maintainers,
who create an architecture-independent tarball from the resulting include
directory.) You also can use HDR_ARCH_LIST to specify list of architectures.
Remember to provide the appropriate linux/asm directory via "mv" or "ln -s"
before building a C library with headers exported this way.
