I'm running Fedora and trying to use make. When I run it, I get the error:
make -C /lib/modules/6.14.5-100.fc40.x86_64/build  M=/home/[my_name]/[folder_of_thing]  
make: Entering directory '/home/[my_name]/[folder_of_thing]'
make: *** /lib/modules/6.14.5-100.fc40.x86_64/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: Leaving directory '/home/[my_name]/[folder_of_thing]'
make: *** [Makefile:5: default] Error 2
As far as I can tell, that build file exists in the /lib/modules/6.14.5-100.fc40.x86_64/ folder. Please advise! Thank you so much for your help! Edit: the issue was a broken symbolic link. The solution was to install the missing files:
dnf install kernel-devel-6.14.5-100.fc40.x86_64
Hope this helps anyone with this issue. I saw other similar posts, but the exact command was slightly different for Fedora.
