Trying to compile for ath79

For Developers
1

Hi I am new, very new to this kind of stuff
I am trying to compile an image for the iNet-AR300M16 ath79 but I keep stumbling upon errors

I am using lubuntu on a vm
Result of running "make -j $(nproc) defconfig download clean world V=s"

osboxes@osboxes:~/Desktop/openwrt$ make -j $(nproc) defconfig download clean world V=s
touch .config
[ -L .config ] && export KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG=1; \
        scripts/config/conf  --defconfig=.config Config.in
#
# No change to .config

Thank you for any help

Did you install all required packages for the build system? Looks like your host compiler isn't working at all. See the Wiki for details: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/install-buildsystem#debianubuntu

I'm a newbie as well... fighting through my second device - which is from scratch (my first was a clone of another - so much easier). It looks like your build is failing when trying to make luci. Out of curiosity, what resources are you giving the VM?

I ask because I recently switched to another build machine with more CPU power and I was having lots of build failures. I finally figured out it was silently having out of memory errors during the build. So initially I manually lowered the threads allowed (-j #) and it stopped failing. If you have an imbalance of CPU to memory this might be worth giving a try.

Cheers!

Either this is not installed or path is not set correctly.

5

Yes I did install them

6

I am giving the VM 2 cores and ~4GB of ram

I did -j3 at first then tried -j1 and still the same error

Thank you

7

How do I install it/set the path?

OK. Did you clone the source code from git or is this the SDK? Because mips-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc is usually compiled with the code from git, but included in the SDK.

10

I cloned it from git

11

If you can't figure out the problem, it's always better to start from the top again. I would use Debian for Openwrt building. I don't know, I used to have issues with other OS's and only in Debian that I was able to compile successfully without errors.

12

also doing a full clean (dirclean I think is enough), then a make download would prep everything... then try the build again... just a thought...
