%SECTION0{name=ELDKIncludeFilesMissing }% ELDK Include Files Missing

   Question:: After configuring and compiling a Linux kernel in the
      kernel source tree that comes with the ELDK, I cannot compile
      user space programs any more - I get error messages because
      many #include file like &lt;errno.h&gt; etc. are missing.

      This is with ELDK 4.0 or 4.1.
   Answer:: This problem is caused by the way how the ELDK is packaged.
      At the moment, the ELDK kernel headers are not packed into a
      separate "kernel-headers" RPM to avoid duplication, because
      the kernel source tree is always installed.
      Instead, the ELDK "kernel-headers" package is just a set of
      symlinks. This worked fine in the past, but fails with the
      new support for ARCH=powerpc systems.
      %BR%
      The next version of the ELDK will contain a real kernel-headers RPM,
      which will fix this problem.
      %BR%
      As a workaround on current systems, you can install
      the real kernel include files into the
      ="include/asm"=, ="include/linux"= and ="include/mtd"= directories.
      %BR%
      To do this, the following commands can be used:
      <verbatim>
bash$ <eldkroot>/bin/rpm -e kernel-headers-ppc_<target>
bash$ cd <eldkroot>/ppc_<target>
bash$ rm usr/include/asm
bash$ tar -xvzf kernel-headers-powerpc.tar.gz
      </verbatim>
      The tarball mentioned above can be downloaded [[%ATTACHURL%/kernel-headers-powerpc.tar.gz][here]].
      It contains the include files that get installed
      by running the ="make ARCH=powerpc headers_install"= command
      in the Linux kernel tree.
      %BR% %BR%
      This problem is fixed in ELDK 4.2 and later releases.
