Openwrt build is failing

For Developers

Hi,

I am trying to compile openwrt 19.x with ntpd and ntp-utils. All goes fine but in the end it gives the error that ntp-utils install failed due to missing 'libintl.so.8' library. although i have selected 'libintl' and libintl-full' from the make menuconfig.

Can anyone suggest, please?

Thanks

The check is more on the ntpd/Makefile that the resulting binaries depends on libintl.so but DEPENDS in that file does not specify it explicitly.

One way to fix the issue is to make the result binaries not depend on libintl.so. Usually this can be done by adding --disable-nls to CONFIGURE_ARGS

Another way is to include nls.mk and add ICONV_DEPENDS explicitly as a dependency. You can find examples for this by searching ICONV_DEPENDS in the codebase.

Package ntp-utils is missing dependencies for the following libraries:
libintl.so.8

This is the Error that i am getting. I tried by editing the configure args as you said still getting the same error.
added the

--disable-nls

The 2nd method is also worth a try. Otherwise consider opening an issue at https://github.com/openwrt/packages
