build is missing for compiling kernel module
this is my first time trying to create a kernel module, apparently after creating a module I need to follow these steps to compile it:
echo "obj-m := Hello.c" > Makefile
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD modules
here's my problem, there is no "build" in "/lib/modules/uname -r/" directory!
what am I missing here?

just found it, the following package is missing and needs to be installed before compiling any Linux kernel module:
sudo apt-get install -y linux-headers-`uname -r`
then we're ready to compile the module
echo "obj-m := Hello.c" > Makefile
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD modules
sudo insmod Hello.ko

I'm more familiar with Ubuntu, but I believe it's recommended to install the appropriate architecture-specific metapackage instead - that way, the headers should be updated automatically when the kernel is updated e.g. linux-headers-amd64
