you would need the kernel-sources* or simply grab a copy off a ftp.kernel.org
mirror. After which, you have to read the INSTALL file for the correct build
type which you need (kernel module, compiled into kernel, or in-between).
If i remember, i patched my kernel twice for it to work, first time is using
the diffs from i2c, then again with the diffs from the lm_sensors.

No matter what you would still need the kernel sources as per the docs said.
I believe using make would compile the modules, but not install them.
My working config is using compile-into-kernel on 2.3.99pre5 on a bp6 with
2x300 celeron and viewed using gkrellm. Note that the i2c support in 2.3 is
still somewhat feeble ... you still need to patch it with your lm_sensors
source.
