Problem with building cmake based app using SDK

For Developers
1

First time trying to build this minimal cmake based hello world app using lede-sdk-ar71xx-generic_gcc-5.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz.

I followed the developer guide for using the SDK and did:

$ tar xf lede-sdk-ar71xx-generic_gcc-5.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz
$ make menuconfig

# Select Global Build Settings and excluded the following options:
# “Select all target specific packages by default”
# “Select all kernel module packages by default”
# “Select all userspace packages by default”

# Downloaded contents of [CMakeOpenWRTExamples](https://github.com/Akagi201/CMakeOpenWRTExamples)
# into lede-sdk-ar71xx-generic_gcc-5.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64/package
$ ls lede-sdk-ar71xx-generic_gcc-5.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64/package
$ HelloCMakeApp  HelloCMakeLibMM  linux  Makefile  toolchain

$ make menuconfig
# Selected utilites --> <M> hellocmakeapp 

$ make V=s

And it fails saying -->

Am I missing something?

A couple of problems here.
First there was some strange problem with ccache it would seem.
I tried installing/uinstalling/re-installing ccache, but it just wouldn't work. :frowning:
Solved by manually removing CONFIG_CCACHE from Config-build.in.

Then, the build failed with the linker not being able to find libuClibC++.so. This had to do with the demo package source dependencies I was using. Replaced them with stdc++, and it's working now.
