From 1ab7a1f3b496aae5b1e062a6f50d62830c248190 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2006 12:15:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] headers_check: use a different default directory `make headers_check' wants to go and write stuff in /lib/modules, which requires root, whic is unfortunate. In fact, there's no _particular_ reason for headers_install to put it there either -- it can go into a subdirectory of the build tree in both cases. It's not intended to go directly into /usr/include, which is why we didn't put it there -- and we certainly don't want people screwing around with symlinking to it. It's for distributors to take away and do stuff with, so leaving it in $(objtree) is fine, even in the headers_install case. I picked $(objtree)/usr/include but I have no _particular_ preference for that; it just seemed reasonable.
