Compiling errors. [SOLVED]

Hi, when I compile the asuswrt-Merlin master source code rt-ac68u, I got following error messages:

What Ubuntu version are you running? Have you tried doing a clean checkout/build?

Here's what I use to build the firmware without fail on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 LTS

http://198.23.248.102/build.sh
 
Thank you for your reply.

I use command "make clean; make rt-ac68u" in the rt-src-6.x.4708 directory to begin compiling process and didn't use build.sh. Should I use it ?

My system is Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS. I don't know if this system is suitable for building the ac68u firmware. But I can build RT-N16 firmware successfully.

The build script is just something I wrote for my build server that compiles the latest github changes daily to reference.

I know from personal experience that the Asus codebase is very touchy, I know RMerlin compiles it using Linux mint and as of yesterday its also 12.04 compatible. If possible your best bet would be to upgrade to 12.04, otherwise you will have to wait for Merlin or Saintdev and even then it may not be worth fixing.

Here's a snippet of the code I use to compile on 12.04 for the AC68U

Code: 
cd /root/asuswrt-merlin
	sudo git pull
	echo " ---- Building Toolchain ---- "
	git ls-remote origin -h refs/heads/master > /root/www/AC68U/gitver
	sudo ln -sf /root/asuswrt-merlin/tools/brcm /opt/brcm
	sudo ln -sf /root/asuswrt-merlin/release/src-rt-6.x.4708/toolchains/hndtools-arm-linux-2.6.36-uclibc-4.5.3 /opt/brcm-arm
	export PATH=$PATH:/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-linux/bin:/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-uclibc/bin:/opt/brcm-arm/bin
	cd /root/asuswrt-merlin/release/src-rt-6.x.4708
	make cleankernel
	make clean
	echo " ---- Patching Netatalk ---- "
	cd /root/asuswrt-merlin/release/src/router/netatalk-3.0.5
	rm -rf configure
	sudo git checkout configure
	echo " ---- Patching Netatalk ---- "
	cd /root/asuswrt-merlin/release/src-rt-6.x.4708
	make rt-ac68u
 
Finished compiling at last.

By deleting the "configure" file in iptables-1.4.x, I finished compiling rt-ac68u firmware at last! The reason that caused the previous problem may be that the configure file is not correct because of lack pre-requisite compiling tools when I start first building process. When install any needed programs during the compling process. This method caused the two libtool macro names "AC_DISABLE_STATIC" and "AM_PRO_LIBTOOL" to be written in the configure file, such leads to "Command not found" error messages.

Code: 
ctools/trx_asus -i image/linux-lzma.trx -r RT-AC68U,3.0.0.4,image/RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_374.41_alpha1.trx

Creating ASUS RT-AC68U firmware to image/RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_374.41_alpha1.trx

TRX Image:
 Total Size .... : 30056448 (29352.0 KB) (28.7 MB)
 CRC-32 ........ : 74D2B75F


I'll upgrade my system to 12 LTS, and try more compling process.

BTW. The compling process will cause an hour and more to build the firmware!

If you have a multicore system, you can speed things up by enabling parallel building. Check src-rt-6.x.4708/profile.mak. You will see two lines referring to PARALLEL - comment one, and uncomment the other one.

A FW build is about 20 mins on my system (hard to say for sure, I tend to build multiple firmwares at once when doing full builds).
 
Recompiled the FW

Using the method you said, this time the compiling time reduced to about 40Min. Since the computer I used is an old one and contains a dual core cpu, the compiling time is still much longer than yours. The other reason is may be I begin compiling process from another pc by using a ssh window.

Thank you for your usefull advices.
