Compile errors stock asuswrt

[Shonk]

Im trying to compile GPL of ASUS RT-AC66U for firmware 3.0.0.4.374.5517

I tried on fedora x64 yesterday

then tried on ubuntu 32bit today

both are giving the same error

I presume either im missing something or there's a problem with the source
does anyone have any idea plz as its driving me mad

Looks like a wrong SDK. Are you sure "make" was started from asuswrt-merlin/release/src-rt-6.x folder?

 

[Shonk]

its stock asuswrt 5517 not merlin

yes from src-rt-6.x

 

[RMerlin]

its stock asuswrt 5517 not merlin

yes from src-rt-6.x

Asus frequently forgets to include some files in their GPL release. In this case it seems to he the EMF pre-compiled binaries.

You can get the two of them from my Git repo (emf.o and igms.o). They are the same as used by Asus, I'm probably using these from a previous GPL release that did contain them.

Thought as much i have been compiling asuswrt-merlin for a good 45 mins with no errors so far, will try 5517 again as soon as its finished

i presume all i need to fix it is

cp /root/asuswrt-merlin/release/src/router/emf/emf.o /root/asuswrt/release/src/router/emf
cp /root/asuswrt-merlin/release/src/router/emf/igs.o /root/asuswrt/release/src/router/emf

Cant we request they provide working source's as for all i know there could be
50 more of these

they clearly havnt built the images with this

Oh, yes. The next will be lighttpd AiCloud modules and so on.

I've tried two years ago with no success, then I've pulled missing binaries right from firmware images. Now I dropped it to hell, I've got no mood\time for fighting with Asus for sources.

 

[Shonk]

if they are pulling binary's due to problems with broadcom etc..
the least they could do is document pulled binary's

so they can be ripped from the images

 

[ryzhov_al]

They may have problems with Broadcom because of sources, I think. Not binaries.

Whether or not, build tree is broken for more than 2 years

It's probably just their script that cleans up non-GPL components that is quirky, or they are forgetting a few precompiled files while manually preparing the archive (the source tree is different from the one from which they build the actual firmware). Legally, it's fine for them to provide those binary blobs. The missing files will vary between GPL releases and router platforms.

Some of these can indeed be ripped from released firmwares - executables such as wps_monitor or wl. The linkable objects such as emf.o or libupnp.o however cannot. Those files rarely change at all however, so usually once you get a copy of them from one tarball, you can keep the same one in future tarballs that might be missing it. That's what I do, using FMK.

Hi, Is that Shonk from the Buffalo NAS forums!? Small world. Nice to see you here.

 

[Shonk]

Yep its me..

Being a bit lazy with the nas atm..
