The problem is that find is returning a full path. That will copy all files to /usr/include. You would have to parse each line of the find output to remove the path before the current directory. We now do: make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install cp -rv dest/include/* /usr/include Why not just add one line: make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install rm dest/include/linux/.*install* cp -rv dest/include/* /usr/include That removes it before copying to /usr/include. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
