Which distributions contain linux headers?

[Marty]

Hi,

 

I need linux headers included in the distribution to install a given software because it requires a kernel modification.

It seems that some distributions contain linux headers and some do not.

Is there a way to determine whether a distribution has those headers other than installing and trying it out.

I have an Orange pi + 2.

 

cheers

headers are not installed by default. Either install them via apt or use armbian-config.

If you need images with headers pre-installed you can build your own with INSTALL_HEADERS=yes
