[Buildroot] Following direction, but failing to compile

[Buildroot] Following direction, but failing to compile

[Neil Cherry]

I've been having a few problems getting BuildRoot to work. So I
decided to fall back, read and follow the directions. But this
too has failed.

What I've done is:

tar jxvf buildroot-2009.05.tar.bz2
cd buildroot-2009.05
make menuconfig
make

When I'm compiling all goes well until I hit this:

	:
  DEPMOD  2.6.29.4-test
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/njc/stuff/buildroot-2009.05/project_build_i586/LORHA/linux-2.6.29.4'

make: ***
[/home/njc/stuff/buildroot-2009.05/project_build_i586/LORHA/root/lib/modules/2.6.29.4/modules.dep]
Error 1

I'm having trouble finding where the sequence of commands are
executed so I can figure out why the directory is not being created.

I can go into the linux-2.6.29.4 directory and manually compile
the kernel with no errors.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

It looks like it's the modules_install target in the kernel Makefile
that is failing. Can you make that target successfully i.e. make
modules_install in the kernel tree?

Sorry for the delay.

Yes when I go into the kernel directory I can compile the modules
with no problems. My fix was to add a mkdir just after the rm -rf
in that section of the make file (I can't find it right now).

I'll find that info and post it here so we can see if it makes
any sense to anyone.

Thanks
