Build dependency: Please install Git (git-core) >= 1.6.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
using Debian-SID linux with git-core 2.13.2 installed
git-core 1.6.5 was used in 2009 !

any suggestion ?

with ubuntu

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential asciidoc binutils bzip2 gawk gettext git libncurses5-dev libz-dev patch unzip zlib1g-dev lib32gcc1 libc6-dev-i386 subversion flex uglifyjs git-core gcc-multilib p7zip p7zip-full msmtp libssl-dev texinfo

You need to install git, which will grab git-core as a dependency.

Also note the >= on the version. It's not saying you must use that version, simply that version or any superseding it.

(at the risk of thread-necro)

I actually had to modify the script .../openwrt/include/prereq-build.mk, as it had an incorrect test for the presence of git -

I changed this line:

Code: Select all

$(eval $(call SetupHostCommand,git,Please install Git (git-core) >= 1.6.5, \
 git clone 2>&1 | grep -- --recursive))

...to grep for a slightly different command line option:

Code: Select all

$(eval $(call SetupHostCommand,git,Please install Git (git-core) >= 1.6.5, \
 git clone 2>&1 | grep -- --recurs))

I'm still trying to get a working build environment. It'd be great if there was something like an ubuntu virtual machine image pre-loaded with the git repository for the current stable image.

Code: Select all

git clone git://github.com/ericpaulbishop/gargoyle.git

cd gargoyle

Code: Select all

make FULL_BUILD=true

Than wait 15 hours or so

I think my last build was close to 24 hours

Thanks for the walk through. I've stumbled across pretty much the same procedure (the universe command didn't work though?). I'll start clean and try again though.

At present I'm using a virtual machine running on my NAS, but with those kind of build times, I'm thinking I might just alt-boot my main rig - it's a beast.

All this just to get crelay working.

[edit: I needed to run sudo apt-get install software-properties-common to add the add-apt-repository command to Ubuntu 18.04.]

Those times were on and old xeon (10 years old) and for every build possible

Single builds on a fast machine are much quicker
