gevagiorgio@PC-Ufficio:~/AggBP$ make -j1 V=s
WARNING: Makefile 'package/utils/busybox/Makefile' has a dependency on 'libpam', which does not exist
[...]

Try running feeds update and install again. The at least enter and exit make menuconfig to get your .config consistent.

Try make clean download world

Try a "vanilla" build to make sure that there isn't something completely borked

3

make distclean
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig
make

Same errors

make clean download world

Same errors

make -r world: build failed. Please re-run make with -j1 V=s or V=sc for a higher verbosity level to see what's going on
/home/gevagiorgio/AggBP/include/toplevel.mk:216: recipe for target 'world' failed
make: *** [world] Error 1

Now I try without adding anything.

If you can't successfully build a "vanilla" config, then your build chain is somehow messed up.

As a "last resort" (and one I've occasionally needed to employ), after backing up your build directory, try removing all the output and intermediate directories, such as by make distclean -- which, as a warning will also remove .config*, feeds, and packages.

6

I think both your config and directories are messed up. I tried building and it stops because both CONFIG_PACKAGE_ppp and CONFIG_PACKAGE_ppp-multilink are selected. I'd start from scratch in a new directory, follow https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images exactly, and make a new config. Which platform are you using to build?

7

Ubuntu on Windows 10
Config and directories are not messed up

I have not added nothing and build is ok.

Now i try to add some feed for each make

8

Added some module and i have errors:

"But that file is already provided by package * samba36-server"
So you have to choose which version you want.

10

You mean that I can only install one of these two modules?
Not both?

	Luci ---->
		Collection ---->
			Luci
		Application ----> 
			Luci-app-samb
			Luci-app-samb4
11

Removed "Luci-app-samb" but error is the same.

12

As the saying goes, here's a :fishing_pole_and_fish:

Reading error messages is a crucial skill in software development.

You only removed the Luci interface for samba4, not the "samba4-server" package which the Luci package depends on.

15

I did not add it.
Has it been added alone?
Where can I find it ?

16

Search for samba4-server and notice the location. Other packages you no longer need may have been added as well, so if you want to save some space it's easier to erase .config and start over.

17

Thank you, finally completed correctly build.

I have another problem.
I have to edit and add files, then re-pack the image.
Long and complex work.

Is it possible to do it before or during the make, to have the correct image already?

18

What do you mean by editing and adding files? Do you mean your routers configuration files? You can check that box on top of update button in your luci web interface which will save configuration, or you can include your configuration as defaults in your image.

The change i have made to the files, for increase 4MB to 8MB are: (This compilation in July worked)
/target/linux/ramips/image/rt305x.mk

define Device/a5-v11
  DTS := A5-V11

  IMAGES += factory.bin
  IMAGE/factory.bin := \
	$$(sysupgrade_bin) | check-size $$$$(IMAGE_SIZE) | poray-header -B A5-V11 -F 8M
  DEVICE_TITLE := A5-V11
  DEVICE_PACKAGES := kmod-usb-core kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb2
endef
TARGET_DEVICES += a5-v11

		.layout_id      = "8M",
		.key            = KEY_A5_V11,
        }, {

What is that error ?
I do not know what to do.
