TL-WR1043nd V2 ExtrootImage

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi there,

I have a TL-WR1043nd- V2 Router and till now I had a Gargoyle-Image on it.
Now I would like to installa Openwrt. My Problem is that there are only 4 MB of memory for packaegs. On Gargolyle i was able to attach a usb-Stick and this was usable for installing packages. Now I saw that with extrRootImage this should also be possible with Openwrt.
I find the folloing Link.
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/extroot_configuration
I did exactly that was written there - But when making the image i get always errors.

Collected errors:

 * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for firewall:

 * libip4tc2

 * libip6tc2

 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package firewall.

Makefile:152: recipe for target 'package_install' failed

make[2]: *** [package_install] Error 255

Makefile:111: recipe for target '_call_image' failed

make[1]: *** [_call_image] Error 2

Makefile:195: recipe for target 'image' failed

make: *** [image] Error 2

What can I do?

That looks as if you were using an ar71xx snapshot build, but master has moved to ath79 exclusively (ar71xx images are no longer being built), leaving outdated/ stale ar71xx images behind. This should work, if you sysupgrade to the corresponding ath79 image.

Sorry -I don't understand
