[Buildroot] Including AT91 *.h files in arm-linux-gcc

[Buildroot] Including AT91 *.h files in arm-linux-gcc

[Paul Kavan]

Hello All:

I am working on some code that requires me to include some of the
AT91-specific header files (e.g. gpio.h) that are in the
buildroot/build_arm/linux-2.6.20.3/include/asm-arm directory. I am
more of a hardware engineer than a software engineer, so this may seem
basic, but what is the best way to be able to include these files and
the others (e.g. asm/irq.h) without having to specify the paths, which
can get sticky when one *.h gile calls another and so on?

By the way, I am using buildroot configured for an AT91SAM9260.


Thanks.

Paul

You would be better off taking the linux-2.4.6.20 and applying my patch
from www.at91.com Project AT91 buildroot

I think that adding the directory is the proper way to do things.
Other people may disagree
