Hello everyone
I was looking recently for a new wireless router to replace the dying 10 yo one I had, and after some homework I decided to go with the RT-AC65U. Many people around me have an ASUS router, and according to them it was no problem to have it in english, but it seems that changed since.

Living in Japan, it seems to be locked in japanese language. After looking around, I thought I would just modify the source code and then rebuild and flash it to enable extra languages.
However, after downloading the sources and setting up a VM, I just can't see the end of it.
First, I had errors with prebuilt files
Then, I get other complains about bwdpi.o having no rule either once in router/rc folder...
So I'm just wondering...
My japanese is not bad, but still I'd feel much more comfortable setting things up in another language...

First, I had errors with prebuilt files
I'm not a Makefile expert, so I just added rules for every single file that was causing problems.make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'private.c', needed by 'private.o'. Stop.
make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/guillaume/asuswrt/release/src/router/shared'
Then, I get other complains about bwdpi.o having no rule either once in router/rc folder...
So I'm just wondering...
- Did Asus really try to build the firmware with their own code dump ?
- Did anyone succeed building with the latest source ? any trick good to know perhaps to make it work ?
- My router is not listed in the compatible HW for asuswrt-merlin, and indeed there is no src-ra-5010 folder in the source tree out there... does this mean I'm just out of luck and must stick to asuswrt ?
