Subj: 	Building non-kernel header files.

Hi,
	It seems that the question of building non-kernel header
files has come up again. If I change a header file in my sandbox
and try to build it it seems the header in the backing tree is 
picked up first. I remember a discussion about a year ago about 
the usage of "" and <> in the include statement. 

	Can someone tell me what is the accepted procedure for
building modified non-kernel header files?

Thanks,

Rich

Rich,

	When you do a "" include, the local directory will be chosen first.

	When you do a <> include, the include will look in the exported
	directory, then the backing tree.

	You can see an example of this when you do your build command and
	see the -I options on the cc line.
