Simple kernel-headers question.

Hi all!

I am going to install my own kernel, but due to stability issues also going to save the default one.
If I modify INSTALL_HDR_PATH according to my choice, will it be the correct headers directory for my new kernel or programs will still check old /usr/include?

Re: Simple kernel-headers question.

why do you want to mess with kernel-headers ?

you don't have to for building/using your own custom kernel

Re: Simple kernel-headers question.

Because of some soft may need it for compilation.
I want to tune it for my hardware.

P.S. sry for my english.

which soft?

I don't know what you are smoking, but you might consider slowing down a bit.

Re: Simple kernel-headers question.

1. I want to tune up only kernel.
2. So headers should have the version of kernel I have(2.6.30.4), not the default one(2.6.30). Defaults are placed at /usr/include, so I want to move my own to any other place(for example /usr/include/mykernel).
P.S. Its a holiday: Slackware 13.0 is out!! So smoking a bit is necessary to celebrate it^^

1. imo it's not very useful, but why not.
2. this is completly wrong

btw the current kernel26 and kernel-headers packages are (coincidentally) both at 2.6.30.5

Re: Simple kernel-headers question.

kernel headers need to match what is used to build the glibc library, not the current kernel.  If they did you wouldn't be able to have more than one kernel installed at the same time (they'd need separate headers).

Re: Simple kernel-headers question.

Aha! Thanks for explanation loafer! So, it seems, that I needn't to do any changes with headers until I would build glibc?
