Thank you for your suggestion.
But I am afraid it is not so helpful since the build environment often
differs from the running environment.
Do you think this description in the README file is insufficient?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- CPPFLAGS
specify the include path if necessary.
Some of linux kernel header files are necessary including
linux/aufs_type.h. If you have installed kernel header files to
/usr/include, then you may not need to specify CPPFLAGS.
Otherwise you need to do something like this sample.
+ run "make headers_install" in your kernel source tree, and
$LinuxSrc/usr/include is created and header files are installed
there by default.
+ if you build aufs3 as module from aufs3-standalone.git, then
$AufsStdalone/usr/include is created and header files are
installed there.
+ and specify
CPPFLAGS="-I $LinuxSrc/usr/include -I $AufsStdalone/usr/include"
Note that your distribution may contain an obsoleted version of
aufs_type.h in /usr/include/linux or something. When you build aufs
utilities, make sure that your compiler refers the correct aufs header
file which is built by "make headers_install."
