Has anyone successfully built an iso image NOT using Docker ? Or is this the only approved/working way to build ISOs now ? I’m not particularly fond of Docker, and maintain a 64-bit debian build host for various other things anyway, and was previously making the isos on that box, but this seems to be broken in 1.2 (and maybe 1.3? )
I’ve checked out crux, and run configure, which tells me all of the prerequisites are installed, but make iso gives this:
[2019-02-03 11:44:58] lb binary_package-lists
P: Begin installing local package lists…
[2019-02-03 11:44:58] lb binary_linux-image
P: Begin install linux-image…
cp: cannot stat ‘chroot/boot/initrd.img-*’: No such file or directory
P: Begin unmounting filesystems…
P: Saving caches…
Reading package lists…
Building dependency tree…
Reading state information…
I haven’t seen that particular problem but I have successfully built an ISO without Docker.
Note that the configure shell script only checks for a very small number of the build prerequisites. I took all the commands from of the Dockerfile, deleted all the /^RUN / - so that they can all just run as shell commands. That way I got a much longer list of build prerequisites.
Having said that I have been working on the current branch, not that crux branch.

I do not use Docker, as I use LXC. I can say that the pace of change of the project since about September has interfered with their ability to update documentation. I experienced the exact issue you describe. I fixed it and then it came back. Then I fixed it again.
Keep monitoring the Docker file. Make certain your build stays in sync with the defined pre-requisites.
