So the initial problem I'm having is that wanting to use headers and their libs like module.h and init.d and pci.h for instance can't be used by simply going #include <pci.h> because if you check the actual pci.h (40 lines or so) file you will find that its allot shorter then the usual dev pci.h so needless to say you can't use all the functions. So now I have to use makefiles to point to other directories.
Stop for a moment. What are you trying to do? Are you writing a kernel module or a user-space application?
I've been trying to create makefiles but at the moment the errors just rack up so much that I really don't know what part of the process is at fault. Is it the C or the headers or the wrong libraries? I'm kind of clueless to where the libraries might even be. Could someone please help me write a makefile for Linux headers and their libraries that is not in the usual /usr/include directory? The source files that I want to use will be in usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0.32-generic/include. Also if they are in the makefile how will I include them in the source?
If you're writing a kernel module, you can't use the headers from /usr/include. If you're writing a user-space application, yuo should use the headers from /usr/include, not the one from /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0.32-generic/include. Let us know what you're trying to do, what you've got sofar, and what errors you're getting.
