How to compile 384?

[Shonk]

Im having problems getting 384 to compile on my ubuntu64 box
any chance of someone helping me get this compiling for my rt-ac88u

atm im opening terminal

su (to get root i know i could remove sudo but it makes no diff)

cd /home/shonk
git clone https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng
git clone https://github.com/RMerl/am-toolchains

sudo mkdir -p /opt
sudo rm -rf /opt/toolchains
sudo ln -s /home/shonk/am-toolchains/brcm-arm-hnd /opt/toolchains
sudo rm -f /opt/brcm-arm
sudo ln -s /home/shonk/am-toolchains/brcm-arm-sdk/hndtools-arm-linux-2.6.36-uclibc-4.5.3 /opt/brcm-arm

its just a case of setting the paths now
but the ones i have tried dont seem to work

asuswrt-merlin.ng is in /home/shonk/
am-toolchains is in /home/shonk

then its

cd /home/shonk/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-7.14.114.x/src
make clean
time make rt-ac88u

sudo ln -sf /home/shonk/am-toolchains/brcm-arm-sdk/hndtools-arm-linux-2.6.36-uclibc-4.5.3 /home/shonk/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-7.14.114.x/src/toolchains

Rmerlin has instructions:

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Compile-Firmware-from-source-using-Ubuntu

I don't see that you exported the PATH environment variable unless you added the information to your ~/.profile file. I don't have my desktop with all my build information setup at the moment otherwise I would be able to provide you with a script.

Also I don't think the info kfp is valid. RMerlin moved the toolchains to a completely separate location from the main source code as a result of Github's 1gb source code limitation per repository.

its the PATH environment variable that im after

its the PATH environment variable that im after

Here's the PATH I use to build an RT-AC88U firmware. It yelled at me when I did it wrong.

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/brcm-arm/bin:/opt/brcm-arm/arm-brcm-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin

Can you paste the complete thing for 384

Example of mine for 380

cd /home/shonk/
git clone https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.git

sudo rm /opt/brcm
sudo rm /opt/brcm-arm
sudo ln -s /home/shonk/asuswrt-merlin/tools/brcm /opt/brcm

sudo ln -s /home/shonk/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 /home/shonk/asuswrt-merlin/release/src-rt-7.14.114.x/src
time make clean
time make rt-ac88u

What compiler errors are you seeing right now? Posting that would narrow the problem down.

Your issue could be 'make clean'. I don't ever trust this command because she is flakey.

### setup Broadcom ARM toolchain for Asuswrt-Merlin

[ ! -d /opt ] && sudo mkdir -p /opt

if [ ! -d ~/am-toolchains ]; then
  cd
  git clone https://github.com/RMerl/am-toolchains.git
fi

sudo rm -f /opt/brcm-arm
sudo ln -s ~/am-toolchains/brcm-arm-sdk/hndtools-arm-linux-2.6.36-uclibc-4.5.3 /opt/brcm-arm

sudo rm -f /bin/sh ; sudo ln -s bash /bin/sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
export TOOLCHAIN_BASE=
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/brcm-arm/bin:/opt/brcm-arm/arm-brcm-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin

Now just compile it from a clean source.

rm -rf ~/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-6.x.4708/toolchains
ln -s ~/am-toolchains/brcm-arm-sdk ~/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-6.x.4708/toolchains
cd ~/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-7.14.114.x/src
make rt-ac88u
