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.

Cheers,
Anders
