X86 Generic build error: FB_INTEL

For Developers
1

Hi all,

FYI, not sure if this is the right thread. But with the latest snapshot, my x86 generic build stops in compiling target/linux.

When I use make -j1 target/linux/compile, the compilation stopped to ask this

Intel 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G/945G/945GM/965G/965GM support (FB_INTEL)

And I just entered 'n', and build continued.

I can't find any reference in OpenWRT regarding that chipset. It might be part of the 6.6.61 linux kernel.

I added this to my .config

CONFIG_FB_INTEL=n

Based on this link: https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/FB_INTEL.html

and that seems to have fixed it. But I'm not sure if adding that is correct. Does anybody else encountering this in the latest snapshot?

Update: I thought adding the line to the config helped but I was wrong.

Yeah, just started happening in my builds last night. Might be part of https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/77cfe8fd15d3d0f77ee16660d06a174f41b53444?

I too am curious how to turn it off, I'll try your config line.

Adding it to the .config didn't help on mine. Build still stops..

make[3] -C target/linux compile
    ERROR: target/linux failed to build.
make -r world: build failed. Please re-run make with -j1 V=s or V=sc for a higher verbosity level to see what's going on
make: *** [/home/acidslide/openwrt/openwrt/include/toplevel.mk:248: world] Error 1

You probably got an email from github: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/77cfe8fd15d3d0f77ee16660d06a174f41b53444#commitcomment-149177769

Also works if you add that config line to the top-level x86 config:

echo "CONFIG_FB_INTEL=n" >> target/linux/x86/config-6.6

I suspect this will be the actual fix for all x86 subtargets.

Yup, saw it.. will confirm also once I've done my rebuild

Thanks for this :slight_smile: @efahl

@efahl confirming adding CONFIG_FB_INTEL=n to the config-6.6 file worked and build now continues
