Compiling asuswrt-merlin problem

[yong]

Hello !
I encounter a problem when compiling asuswrt-merlin source code.

I execute "make kernel" at release/src-rt-6.x.4708 location.
The error is as follows:
"Makefile:15: *** missing separator. Stop."

I find the content in the Makefile is "../src-rt/Makefile", is not there any problem?
Also I copy the content of src-rt/Makefile to the Makefile which is in current path, but it has prolems too?

Is there anybody encounter the same question? Can you give me some advice?

Thanks in advance!

I seem to know the reason.
Let me have a try!

You need to configure the code tree by running "make rt-ac68u" (assuming the target model is an rt-ac68u). After a complete compile you should be able to compile just specific elements.

Thank you! It is one of the reason.
Another reason is that when I unzip the source code, I replace some files.
But I don't know why there is repeated files.
Is it because of symbolic files?

Among other things, yes. The source code requires a Linux filesystem that is case sensitive and also supports symlinks. You can't unpack it on an NTFS filesystem.

To the point!Thank you!You are so good!

But there is a conflict where nano needs Make of version 1.14, howerver, libxml2 autoMake of version 1.11, when I excute "make rt-n66u" at release/src-rt-6.x.4708 location.

The RT-N66U is an SDK 6.34 MIPS device, you cannot compile it from the 4708 directory - that's for SDK 6.37 ARM devices.

Thank you very much!
