Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/make/headers_install.txt: update documentation
Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2014 21:11:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1404155479-5638-1-git-send-email-ydroneaud@opteya.com> (raw)
Documentation in make/headers_install.txt is not
up to date regarding:
- way to list the various architectures;
- path where the headers are installed.
This patch try to fix these issues.

kernel source code (or using a standard out-of-tree build). It takes two
optional arguments:
- make headers_install ARCH=i386 INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr/include
+ make headers_install ARCH=i386 INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr
ARCH indicates which architecture to produce headers for, and defaults to the
-current architecture. The linux/asm directory of the exported kernel headers

the command:
- ls -d include/asm-* | sed 's/.*-//'
+ /bin/ls -1 arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild | sed -e 's,^arch/,,' \
+ -e 's,/include/asm/Kbuild$,,'

The command "make headers_install_all" exports headers for all architectures
simultaneously. (This is mostly of interest to distribution maintainers,
who create an architecture-independent tarball from the resulting include
directory.) You also can use HDR_ARCH_LIST to specify list of architectures.
