How to copy kernel headers?

[autif khan]

I think that is what I am looking for.

So, calling make modules_prepare does something, but I am not sure how
to copy the relevant files to a separate directory that can be
deployed on another
machine. I tried searching, but could not find clear resources - I
tired make modules_prepare O=/some/path but that failed with the error
included below.

I have a fully built kernel and modules in
~/data/dev/kernel/linux-2.6.37.6 - where make modules_prepare was
called from.

Can you please tell me how to use make modules_prepare properly.

Thanks

Autif
