I'm trying to build LLVM-9.0.1 with the optional Clang package, which appears to be required for Firefox to build.

This goes OK until invoking ninja, which immediately stops the build, with the message

ninja: error: '../cmake/modules/Generate VersionFromVCS.cmake', needed by 'tools/clang/lib/Basic/VCSVersion.inc', missing and no known rule to make it

Building LLVM without the Clang package completes normally, but the Firefox build will complain that it is needed. Curiously I built Firefox on LFS 8.4, in the same way, without this problem.

Hope someone can throw some light on this, as I've found nothing, other than some similar PATH related issues with cmake, after searching the web.

For what it's worth, I successfully built all that during the past couple of weeks. Yesterday I got  Firefox and Thunderbird to build (there are some problems yet to be ironed out), following the BLFS book exactly.
