looking for recent headers in different path in configure

looking for recent headers in different path in configure

[Belisko Marek]

Hi,

I'm using libgopid in yocto build system. I'm using kernel 5.6 and
would like to compile 1.5.1 libgpiod release. I have an issue that
configure phase fails that kernel headers <= 5.5. it's due totthe fact
that libc in yocto is compiled with 4.19 but I would like to use
headers from my kernel 5.6. Is there some easy way to tell configure
phase to search headers in some other directory?

Thanks and regards,

marek

I use:

./autogen.sh --oldincludedir=${incdir} --enable-tools --enable-tests
make

to build against my local custom linux build, where incdir points to the
include directory of that build.

Cheers,
