Can't compile HID Module

This is my first post here at the Arch forums, and I am glad to be here.
First though, my problem. I am no expert on compiling things, but I need to compile the HID kernel module When I try to do this, however, I get the following result (ran from [kernel source]/drivers/hid):

[damian@damian-desktop-arch hid]$ make -C ../.. SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules

Can someone please explain why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Re: Can't compile HID Module

Looks like it is looking for linux/bounds.h.  Does bounds.h exist in the kernel source directory?  If not, try running "make prepare" in the kernel source directory.  I think that might generate bounds.h for you.
