netatalk build failure

[bsdsource]

RMerlin I just cloned the asuswrt-merlin master repository. Navigated to the appropriate directory to build the RT-AC3100 but I get a build failure for netatalk. Below is the build failure output:

touch netatalk-3.0.5/stamp-h1

If after I encounter the build error and delete the configure file in the netatalk-3.0.5 directory and git checkout the configure file to the same directory and issue the make RT-AC3100 command again it builds without failure.

To experiment after the netatalk build failure i deleted the entire folder contents of netatalk-3.0.5. I then did a git checkout from the netatalk-3.0.5 folder which restored all the files in the netatalk folder. I attempted to make RT-AC3100 again but it gave me the same failure as I provided before.

The only way I'm able to get netatalk to build without failure was the following procedure:

1. attempt to build the firmware using the "make RT-AC3100" command
2. netatalk will fail to build as expected
3. delete the configure file from the netatalk-3.0.5 folder (no other changes to the source code)
4. git checkout configure to restore the file to the netatalk-3.0.5 folder
5. attempt to build the firmware again using the "make RT-AC3100" command
6. successful build. no netatalk build failure.

After the failed build attempt I didn't issue any clean commands or anything. I left the source code as is after the failure with the exception of deleting and restoring of the netatalk configure file.

RMerlin can you shed some light on this build error? Is there a simple solution to avoid this?

Thank you,

john9527 installing libltdl-dev was the solution. Thank you.

sudo apt-get install libltdl-dev

I installed libltdl-dev and didn't reboot and experienced the same netatalk build failure. Like you said a reboot was required.
