Greetings. This is my 3rd attempt at LFS. I will actually finish it this time.
I have encountered trouble during my build, and despite google searches, I
haven't been able to work around the issue.
LFS version 7.8
I am building linux kernel version 4.2.8, as per the note in section 3.2, which states to use the latest 4.2.x version number.
The entire build has gone very smoothly up until section 8.3.1 - Installation of Kernel. I began with "make mrproper".
I then ran "make allmodconfig", thinking extra modules won't hurt anything. "make LANG=en_US LC_ALL=
menuconfig" as per the book to double check and make adjustments. "make" completed successfully, but when I run
"make modules_install", I get the following error:
cp: cannot stat './modules.builtin': No such file or directory
Makefile:1125: recipe for target '_modinst_' failed
make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1
Here is the referenced portion of the Makefile:
1123 PHONY += _modinst_
1124 _modinst_:
1125 @rm -rf $(MODLIB)/kernel
1126 @rm -f $(MODLIB)/source
1127 @mkdir -p $(MODLIB)/kernel
1128 @ln -s `cd $(srctree) && /bin/pwd` $(MODLIB)/source
1129 @if [ ! $(objtree) -ef $(MODLIB)/build ]; then \
1130 rm -f $(MODLIB)/build ; \
1131 ln -s $(CURDIR) $(MODLIB)/build ; \
1132 fi
My host system is a Slackware 14.1 full install (minus KDE).
I can post the output of the host version script from the book's section vii if
anyone would like to see it. Any other relevant information can be provided
upon request.
I have tried several times with no success. Makefiles and make errors confuse me very badly.
If I have read & interpreted correctly, though, the make command exits when it doesn't
find the file modules.builtin. I tried "touch"-ing the file, but that doesn't work
either. I am at a loss. Has anyone experienced this? Should I just start over using the
kernel from the standard wget-list? Anyone's thoughts are appreciated.

Looking in the Makefile of my linux-3.19.1 I see that there is a
modules.builtin target
that should be done with make. I would try to see what happens with
make modules.builtin
Also, a
find . -name "modules.builtin"
from the top source directory here, finds a ./modules.builtin that you
probably don't have,
and many others in various module directories. Do you have them?
And a last thought, did you use -jx with make? If you did, did you try
without it?
