I'm fairly new to OpenWRT so please be gentle! I'm trying to build a U-Boot image for a BT Homehub 5 from a repository that seems to work fine for everyone else. I suspect my issue is the Mac, but the others I've spoke to aren't using a Mac its difficult to get help. So I figured I would ask on the main OpenWRT forum for help, hence here I am!
The hub 5 discussion is here ... http://openwrt.ebilan.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=7.
I can build OpenWRT images just fine on my Mac after jumping through some hoops with MacPorts and some other bits. But the u-boot build always fails with an obscure error. The process I am following is this:
git clone https://github.com/xdarklight/u-boot-lantiq.git
cd u-boot-lantiq
wget https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/raw/master/package/boot/uboot-lantiq/patches/0047-add-gcc5-support.patch

Plasmas-MBP:u-boot-lantiq plasma$When I Google for the error error: "MIPS, but neither __MIPSEB__, nor __MIPSEL__???" it really doesn't turn up anything of help. Has anyone successfully built u-boot on a Mac or can point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks in advance.
