Error compiling for AX58U: cannot find crt1.o crti.o crtbegin.o

[pm123]

Hi all,

I am new to compiling firmware from source and i am trying to compile ax58u from source code.

I have followed these steps and sudo apt installed the libraries needed:

sudo ln -s ~/am-toolchains/brcm-arm-hnd /opt/toolchains
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\$LD_LIBRARY:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-5.5-linux-4.1-glibc-2.26-binutils-2.28.1/usr/lib" >> ~/.profile
echo "export TOOLCHAIN_BASE=/opt/toolchains" >> ~/.profile
echo "PATH=\$PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-5.5-linux-4.1-glibc-2.26-binutils-2.28.1/usr/bin" >> ~/.profile
echo "PATH=\$PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-aarch64-gcc-5.5-linux-4.1-glibc-2.26-binutils-2.28.1/usr/bin" >> ~/.profile

and when i run make rt-ax58u, i get this error.

I have all these installed based on the wiki docs.

sudo apt-get install libtool-bin cmake libproxy-dev uuid-dev liblzo2-dev autoconf autoconf-archive automake bash bison \
bzip2 diffutils file flex m4 g++ gawk groff-base libncurses5-dev libtool libslang2 make patch perl pkg-config shtool \

xutils-dev lib32z1-dev lib32stdc++6 xsltproc gtk-doc-tools libelf1:i386

Any idea what i can do from here? or are there any libraries i should install?
Or if you need more error msg, pls let me know!

thanks!

Welcome to the forums @pm123.

Did you read the documentation? Are you running the recommended (Linux) builds?

What assumptions are you making about the process?

hi, yes i have read the documentation here https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Compile-Firmware-from-source

but i am trying to compile in ubuntu 22.04. have not tried to buildvm using multipass. could that be a reason for the error?

Possibly.

I hope someone that does this will be along to help you soon (but, be patient for at least 24 hours... this is an international forum, after all).

22.04 is not compatible with the SDK. You must use 20.04 as documented.
