Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch - Version 2.0.0-MIPS

Chapter 7. If You Are Going to Boot

7.9. Kmod-10

The Kmod package contains programs for loading, inserting and removing kernel modules for Linux. Kmod replaces the Module-Init-tools package.

7.9.1. Installation of Kmod

Prepare Kmod for compilation: 

./configure --prefix=/tools --bindir=/bin \
    --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET}

Compile the package: 

make

Install the package: 

make DESTDIR=${CLFS} install

Create symbolic links for programs that expect Module-Init-Tools. 

ln -sv kmod ${CLFS}/bin/lsmod
ln -sv ../bin/kmod ${CLFS}/sbin/depmod
ln -sv ../bin/kmod ${CLFS}/sbin/insmod
ln -sv ../bin/kmod ${CLFS}/sbin/modprobe
ln -sv ../bin/kmod ${CLFS}/sbin/modinfo
ln -sv ../bin/kmod ${CLFS}/sbin/rmmod
