You will then need to build and install lttng-modules against each of your
kernels.

lttng-modules (as any kernel module) installs under /lib/modules/$(uname -r),
where $(uname -r) evaluates to the kernel version you build against.

When building, it looks for your kernel headers by following /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
or /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source (I don't recall which).

You can override the directory it builds against by using the KERNELDIR environment
variable.

Thanks,

Mathieu
