>> Yes I am building the external modules .The
headers(linux/<header_files>) I have included the way I have said above.
The reason i asked this is becuase  my driver modules compiles without any
error except it gave warning that certain symbols (function_names_) are
undefined in the .ko driver module .These function_names_symbols are
declared in the header files I included in my driver code like i said
 above..
I compiled  did like this :
make -C <path to kernel sources (compiled kernel - does it matter compile
or not compiled?)> SUBDIRS=<path to my driver code placed in my home
directory (not inside the kernel sources) modules
> Compiled successfully except the warnings I stated above.That is the
reason i asked to way to install the headers of my compiled kernel.
