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;
[LIST=1]
[]1. online repository enabled
sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper lu
sudo zypper up
[]2.Command Syntax to add the externals modules
[*]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

[*]2.2.To build against the running kernel

	$ make -C /lib/modules/`user -r`/build M=$home/user/Development/Modules

[*]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

[/LIST]

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”
