You need to git clone the branch I linked and then you can easily build that.
Yes, you simply select the packages you want in menuconfig, well if you want to install a package that depends on kernel module or other specific package version then you need to compile a image with those versions or compile those packages separately.
No, you need to select the RB450Gx4 profile in IPQ40xx
RB450gx4 does not exist anywhere as a system, subtarget or profile:
nothing exists between Q-U for profile...
Like I said, you need to clone the branch I linked to you in the first reply.
So git clone -b RB450Gx4-rebase-sdhci --single-branch https://github.com/robimarko/openwrt.git
got it, thank you!
I get this error, any thoughts?
WARNING: Makefile 'package/feeds/packages/frr/Makefile' has a dependency on 'more', which does not exist
Its just a warning, not unusual in master repo.
Do you use the ffr package?
If not simply ignore
new error, I'm guessing my build environment isn't right? any idea how to troubleshoot? verbose mode is quite confusing...
make -r world: build failed. Please re-run make with -J1 V=s or V=sc for higher verbosity level to see what's going on
make: *** [/home/pi/openwrt/include/toplevel.mk:218: world] Error 1
This is at line 218: cp .config tmp/.config; \
So far I've done this on 3 different Debian systems with the following dependencies installed and each one has the same error:
sudo apt install build-essential libncurses5-dev gawk git libssl-dev gettext zlib1g-dev swig unzip time file
You need to use make -j1 V=s to see whats the actual error.
And post that, which Debian version are you using?
using 10.2. as a VM and a variant of 9 on an RK3399 SBC.
I'll run with make -j1 V=s and see if I can post an output
I have two builds giong on, one with packages and one without, this one is without, this is the one on Debian 10.2:
You are missing python3-distutils
sudo apt install python3-distutils should fix it
That worked for the Debian 10.2, thanks!
This is the error output from the Debian 9 with additional packages:

On which package do you get that?
It could easely have been already fixed in current OpenWrt master, but I have not tested building on Debian as I use Fedora for all of my builds.
HOSTCC tools/proftool
Well that is part of mkimage and as far as I remember uses parts of U-boot for it so its most likely bug with version used and Debian 9 combo.
I really cant help you here
fair enough. My Debian 10.2 is still compiling, so good news there. Thanks again for all your help!
looks like the compile completed. where do I find the finished file?
Its in bin/targets and then follow the target/subtarget folders
DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Thanks for all your help!
Trying to compile with packages and ran into this, does it make any sense? A simple google yields nothing for rpcd-mod-luci...
