Hello Jon,

The easiest way to do this is to run the entire build from next or master once until it is completed.

You can then run “./make.sh shell” which will drop you into a shell in the build environment. In there, you can run the gcc commands with the IPFire compiler, headers and use the entire rest of the user land.

You should not need any special search paths for any include files.
