All I wanted to do was cast from my desktop PC to a Chromecast on my guest network over Christmas, and look where that got me ... https://github.com/ipilcher/fdf
I don't personally use OpenWRT as a router (only as a wireless access point), but it still seems like this might be useful to a lot of people. Is anyone interested?
Also, I did take a quick track at creating a cross compilation environment, but the first setup script bombed out with an error about being unable to to find gcc and/or g++. (Both are installed in my x86_64 OS.) Any hints would be appreciated. (I have built the project for an old ARMv7 Banana Pi that I had sitting around, so I do know that it works on a 32-bit platform that doesn't do unaligned access.)
Thanks!
Which version of GCC have you installed? Do you have the error log available?

I do get a bit further on CentOS 7 (which has GCC 4.8). make defconfig world ultimately fails with this rather bizarre error.

Sure enough, the .xz file is only 14 bytes, and running xzcat on it yields a zero-byte file.
