Chapter 6.7. Linux-2.6.32.8 API Headers

Well, after some comentary about log files. we are back to installing all of a sudden. I remember the phrase make mrproper from Chapter 5. I guess I need to install the linux package again.

root:/sources# tar -jxf linux-2.6.32.8.tar.bz2



root:/sources# cd linux

make headers_check
make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install
find dest/include \( -name .install -o -name ..install.cmd \) -delete
cp -rv dest/include/* /usr/include

APT = Application Programming Interface.

I am not learning much from the short description.

root:/sources/linux-2.6.32.8#make install 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAh! lots of errors!

scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig

*** (missing kernel config file ".config")

Not paying attention again. I should have left linux and moved on to unpacking the man package!
