Hello,
i'm trying to compile a new firmware in order to have a mouse on my asus routeur wl500g.
I did what i found here ( http://downloads.openwrt.org/docs/build … ation.html ).

When i do make menuconfig, i have a strange thing in the end
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/zork/cours/e=m6/developpement/asus/firmware/buildroot/whiterussian/openwrt'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/zork/cours/e=m6/developpement/asus/firmware/buildroot/whiterussian/openwrt/package'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/zork/cours/e=m6/developpement/asus/firmware/buildroot/whiterussian/openwrt/package/busybox'

make[1]: *** [busybox-clean] Erreur 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/zork/cours/e=m6/developpement/asus/firmware/buildroot/whiterussian/openwrt/package'

But i can start the make. So i did it. But when i arrive at gcc i have another probleme :

I search but found nothing...

try
LC_ALL=C make distclean
LC_ALL=C make

I do not understand french errormessages, and may be some shell hacks are not working with all locales...

I've exactly the same probleme...

Why can i do tto have my shell in english ?

export LC_ALL=C

Sorry... i'm stupid.

So :
zork@utopia ~/cours/e=m6/developpement/asus/firmware/buildroot/whiterussian/openwrt $ LC_ALL=C make clean && LC_ALL=C make

I have a question about the compilation... why i don't compile with the mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc ?

Just for an "up".
I steal have these problem

Which make version do you use ?

Try :

make -v

It has to be >= 3.80 !

utopia zork # make -v

ZoRk, I don't know if your problem is really caused by make, but version 3.80 (the latest official release) has a bug in it that was triggered everytime when I first tried compiling OpenWrt on my system. Upgrading to 3.81beta3 (beta4 already available) fixed this.
