    Which files make up "Kernel Headers" ?

    Are these are part of the Kernel source tree ?

    I am using a from scratch Linux build, and my source code may not be
    located in a particular place on my system.

    How can I tell the compiler where to find the headers ?

    The package I am trying to compile is lilo-20

    I extract the source to a directory then run:

    make

    I get an error stating that the Kernel Headers are not installed.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
