[Solved] Build error: "make: [toplevel.mk:218: world] Error 2"?

loophole · November 1, 2019, 9:57am

These are the steps I took to try to build the firmware:

$ git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git

$ git checkout v18.06.46

$ ./scripts/feeds update -a && ./scripts/feeds install -a

$ wget -O .config 'http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.4/targets/ramips/mt7620/config.seed'

$ make defconfig

$ mkdir files/etc/config/

$ scp hplaptop:~/{firewall,network,wireless} files/etc/config/

$ IGNORE_ERRORS=1 make PROFILE=netgear_ex3700 FILES=files/ PACKAGES="ebtables ebtables-utils" -j4 V=sc

This is imagebuilder syntax...

Just do;

make -j1 V=s #for first build

but you don't want the full seed... before your make command... manually....

populate-.config-justpackages

make menuconfig #select your target and ebtables etc.
wget -q -O - 'http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.4/targets/ramips/mt7620/config.seed' | \
	grep -E '(CONFIG_PACKAGE|CONFIG_VERSION)' >> .config
make defconfig
#optionally> ./scripts/diffconfig.sh > config.seed.mine

edit: that error in the screenshot... is something your likely to come across when the compiler / source get out of whack = version compatibility issues...

sometimes you can use an older/alternate os.... sometimes the maintainer updates the source to support newer constructs...

as it's only cropping up here... ( arch / 18 = not common )... and most of the arch guides i've found are for previous releases...

this points to the compiler versions in the newer arch maybe... but it's just a guess...

simplest thing to do tho' is to switch to debian/ubuntu...

I also encountered the same problem.
I tried to compile openwrt 18.06.4 on manjaro, but all failed.

Verify test a basic build with master ....

from the start with no fancy config... with fresh directory / source...

I tried to compile the openwrt master on ubuntu 18.04 and manjao, but it failed.
Even though I only configured the routing model.

Changed it to pacman -S instead of -Su so that it didn't try to perform a full system upgrade. It installed four packages that weren't previously installed. Unfortunately I'm getting another compile error. Looks like the same error but it seems like it's in a different spot this time.

EDIT: I think the problem may be a mismatch between the version of the kernel in memory and the version on disk:

I'm going to reboot the machine and try to compile again.

Edit: actually, the versions are different in the repos:

arch2 openwrt $ sudo pacman -Si linux | grep Version

I don't know if that has anything to do with the compile error or not.

they seem ok...

loophole · October 31, 2019, 6:39pm

It's weird that I'm having problems compiling this way but when I compiled with image builder it worked with no errors.

wulfy23 · October 31, 2019, 6:41pm

nah, image builder doesn't really compile anything... it just "packs" all the pre-compiled elements together...

loophole · November 1, 2019, 12:39am

I deleted the top-level directory and started over a few hours ago, and its still compiling. It was error'ing out after a few minutes earlier. I put the commands in a script and ran it instead of doing all the steps manually.

Don’t use config.seed “raw” as it builds “everything”. Clear out .config, select your board, then add the specific packages/options you want.

Edit:

sed --in-place /CONFIG_PACKAGE_/d .config

doesn’t look right to me

Edit: See above post for how to strip out the “important” things from config.seed - populate-.config-justpackages - remember to select your board!

With the exception of a LuCI package group, you’ll basically get what is in a “release” build for your board by just selecting the board.

I’d suggest enabling ccache as it will speed subsequent builds. The first-time build takes around an hour on a “lowly” J4105. Subsequent builds are 5-15 with ccache.

loophole · November 1, 2019, 3:49am

Thanks. I didn't realize it was building everything. I started over and didn't download config.seed this time. I just selected my board, the packages I want and enabled ccache.

It's been compiling for about an hour. The build directory is only about 1.3 GB right now. I had to kill the last build after I realized it was building everything. The build directory was already over 11 GB when I killed it.

slh · November 1, 2019, 4:00am

That is almost about the size you'll get for any 'normal' build tree, without that many optional features; a full build would be more than an order of magnitude beyond that.

daiaji · November 1, 2019, 5:08am

It's possible that I used Ubuntu 18.04 in a container and actually used the manjaro kernel. When I go home at night, I will try to use real Ubuntu 18.04 in the KVM virtual machine, which allows me to use it. The old kernel of Ubuntu 18.04.
It seems that the ArchLinux user has failed to compile. I have a hunch that this may be because the ArchLinux kernel is too new.

loophole · November 1, 2019, 5:08am

The solution for me was to remove line number 69 in the file

openwrt/build_dir/host/u-boot-2018.03/include/compiler.h

typedef uint64_t __u64;

and then run make again.
