Unable to find slab.h and mm.h

[TonyB]

I'm need to include slab.h and mm.h in a c++ program. i.e.

#include <linux/slab.h>
#include <linux/mm.h>

I'm unable to find the header files anywhere in the file system. I
expected to find them in /usr/include/linux.

slab.h and mm.h also have include statements for files that re not on
the file system.

Is the a package or library I can install to correct this?

Thanks from NH

not programming a linux kernel module.

Thanks for the previous post.

Of course, they are included by the kernel sources, so when you're
compiling it, they're included.

What are you trying to do?
Are you modifying the kernel?
Are you writing a kernel module?

Pascal,

Working on a custom USB isochronous interface. Requesting the URBs
requires use of those headers. My project is sort of stalled because
of this. I'll study the kernel and will try to rebuild it
appropriately. Thanks for your help and interest.

Then it means that you will have to write a kernel module. Now the
question is how to do that with C++. AFAIK, the kernel doesn't
include a C++ runtime.
