Building GCC on 18.06 fails. Also GCC package is missing from repo

For Developers

Hello

I'am trying to build 18.06 for my linkit smart 7688 module.
Everything is working so far, except GCC.
I need gcc for octoprint build/install.
So I build my own image with 18.06 and striped ip6v, luci and added things needed for octoprint.
But when i add GCC the build fails. Also GCC is missing from 18.06 package feed, so not posible to install as a package.
GCC works on 17.01.4, but wifi with MT76 is not stable/good on 17.01.4.

Please help

Thanks

Jesper

Okay, master is working. How do I apply the pull request on 18.06?

You can

  • edit the one file (4 affected lines) by hand in your 18.06 build environment (feeds/packages dir), https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/5973/files ,
    or

  • download the PR as patch and then apply it.

    cd feeds/packages
wget https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/5973/commits/054d5273cb8b37520cec524f9e5ab23ba73e282e.patch
patch -p 1 -i 054d5273cb8b37520cec524f9e5ab23ba73e282e.patch
