Makefile for misc char driver

I started following along with the eudyptula challenge writing simple misc char drivers and usb drivers. My issue is that when I started doing this I was on Linux mint and Ubuntu but I've recently moved over to arch. The original make file uses '$(MAKE) -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel M=$(PWD)' but '/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel' doesn't exist in the arch kernel i'm using. (5.4.40-1-lts). sorry for lack of terminology and I don't know if i've given enough information, i'm pretty new to arch and writing kernel modules.

See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ … dules.html
Edit:
Requires linux-lts-headers to supply usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/
