Hi,

I am trying to build openwrt for Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately, the build is failing. Any idea to overcome this?

rm -f /mnt/myth/videos/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/linux-brcm2708/boot.img
mkdosfs /mnt/myth/videos/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/linux-brcm2708/boot.img -C 20480

# Raspberry Pi has no bootloader, instead the GPU loads and starts the kernel

The distro is gentoo, and i do have the IBM850.so file

#ls -la /usr/lib32/gconv/IBM850.so 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9400 Jun 24 12:34 /usr/lib32/gconv/IBM850.so

#grep -i 850 /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_850=y

Do i need to select Codepage 850 in openwrt kernel?

Disable the static linking of host utilities.

How do you disable static linking of host utilities?

I am using the Breaking Barrier final release Image Generator for brcm2708 and I am getting the same error as the op, cannot install brcm2708-gp-fw. I am running Debian 7.7 64bit.

The discussion might have continued from here.
