Add newexternal modules to custom kernel

[Chaves]

Building External Modules

I'm trying to add new external modules already compiled to the new Open Suse kernel and it seems that Im missing something. I was following the steps that can be seen below;

1. 1. online repository enabled
   sudo zypper ref
   sudo zypper lu
   sudo zypper up
2. 2.Command Syntax to add the externals modules
3. 2.1.The command to build an external module
   
   $ make -C <path_to_kernel_src> M=$PWD ////Up to here its compiling without error
   $ make -C /lib/modules/4.1.15-8-default/kernel/* SUBDIRS=$home/user/Development/Modules
4. 2.2.To build against the running kernel
   
   $ make -C /lib/modules/`user -r`/build M=$home/user/Development/Modules
   
5. 2.3.Install the module(s) just built, add the target "modules" to the command:
   
   $ make -C /lib/modules/`user -r`/build M=$home/user/Development/Modules modules
   

I think I am missing the prebuilt kernel that contains the configuration and header files used in the build, because the folder "build" inside the "4.1.15-8-default" never was created as expected. So, when I trying to add the modules I alwais got an error message;
"/lib/modules/4.1.15-8-default/build: Not such a file or directory"
