Kernel compilation fails when removing source and build directory. 6.4.y
by AvidKotlinDenier from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DZGH)
How do I fix this compilation error?
-----
rm: cannot remove: .../modules/6.4.11-1/source: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove: .../modules/6.4.11-1/build: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occured in package_linux().
Aborting...

This compilation error happenes when I tried to compile the 6.4.11-1 Linux Kernel on an arch(based) distribution.
Some things to note:
- The path is correct (I typed a shorter version on this post),
I am using a kernel PKGBUILD from CachyOS. I know this issue is unrelated to CachyOS, because I tried using the TKG install build on normal arch, which resulted in the same error. I have also tested it with EndeavourOS.
- A few days ago I was able to compile kernel 6.4.10-273 just fine, using the basically the same kernel configuration. (I have attempted to specifically select this kernel version, which now displays the same error)
Things I have tried:
- Clean install of Arch: (EndeavourOS, CachyOS, archlinux install script, manual install of arch), results in the same error being displayed after compilation.
- Setting rm -f instead of rm in the script to ignore nonexistent directories / files. (Still fails because module symvers is not found)
- Compiling with the standard CPU scheduler
- Compiling without any patches
- Compiling using the default kernel settings
- Completely wiping every disk in my system and reinstalling linux.
- Disabling XMP memory profile and disabling my CPU overclock.
- Compile with march=generic
- Attempt compilation using TKG glitch build script, and CachyOS kernel PKGBUILD script, both display this error.
- Compiling with everything disabled in menuconfig
- Disabling ccache (I only found one instance of another person having this issue, which they resolved by doing so) did not work.
I have no clue how I can solve this issue, or what caused it to happen in the first place. No hardware changes or changes to bios settings were made, compilation worked fine a few days prior. I am new to Linux so I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out here.
