Baseline build platform

[gth]

Okay, not having much success just getting the basic build platform going.

1. Ubuntu 18.04 server (don't need no damn desktop

2. Get the operating system up to date

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

3. Install pre-requisite items for openwrt/gargoyle builds

Code: Select all

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

4. Get the gargoyle sources (not as root)

Code: Select all

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

5. Compile time.

Code: Select all

cd gargoyle
make FULL_BUILD=true ar71xx

...after a few false starts due to insufficient disk space (I'dsuggest allocating minimum 30GB for this environment, based on my experience so far), I've got the following error:

To my newbie eyes, it seems like it's trying to build gcc as part of the toolset, but failing?

Any advice is welcome.

[ispyisail]

try switch to

Code: Select all

base_on_openwrt_remerge

Code: Select all

git checkout base_on_openwrt_remerge

I haven't used "master" in so long it might be broken

[ispyisail]

just in case

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

This would be my advice as well.
At least we can try to assist you there.
