Hi all,
i'm trying to build a new image of OpenWrt 14 BB for the router in subject (mips + lantiq + xrx200), starting from configuration for TD-W8970 and applying patches for WiFi.

The build process fails building the oprofile-1.1.0rc2 package.
When make launches ./configure, it says the bfd library is missing, but is not. There are correct libbfd.so and .h files under toolchain and staging directories.

Maybe in make process is downloaded a too many newer version of the loprofile package? In this case, what version is safe for compiling OpenWrt 14?

Someone have builded/installed successfully the OpenWrt version 15 on this hardware?

Thanks in advance

Regards
Max

Not sure what is your problem, maybe it's related wit dependency's you need ?

I managed to compile the image for chaos calmer 15.0.5 for this router yesterday in my debian machine, the only thing not working is wireless which I wrote yesterday in the forum (https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=60312).

I had to install the following packages in debian:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential libssl-dev libncurses5-dev unzip
sudo apt-get install subversion mercurial

Maybe you can try to compile 15.05 and see if you still have errors:

git clone git://git.openwrt.org/15.05/openwrt.git
patch -p1 < TDW8980.patch
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a 

make defconfig
make prereq
make menuconfig
make -j 4 V=s

UPDATE:
The version in trunk compiled is working fine even wireless is working!

Hi, thanks for your answer.
There was a little mistake. I was using version 15 instead of 14.

Restarted the build process from version 14 from git, patch and now is rebuilding image from scratch.
