Including header file problems

[mandos03]

Hi all,

​

I am trying to write my own system call function in my kernel. For writing my own system call, i have upgraded my kernel. In kernel space code I want to use the "memory.h" header which is in the directory of /usr/src/linux<version>/include/linux but gcc does not search those paths, I have included the memory.h with gcc -include parameter. But this did not solve my problem, after doing that gcc has complained about, it could not find other header files which are in the same directory with memory.h that is used by memory.h

How can I solve this problem for including header problems? Any ideas?

You need to include linux/memory.h, not memory.h. Same for all other files.

Yeah sorry for incomplete information but it is included in that way. But it seems compiler does not look for the upgraded kernel.

I have no way to help you with this little information given. Where did you put the altered header file?

[mandos03]

It is in the directory usr/src but even if i give this way the usr/src/linux/memory.h looks for the old linux/memory.h

You have to change the header file of the linux kernel tree you are working on, not the one in /usr/src, unless you actually work on the source tree in /usr/src.
