Just yesterday everything compiled perfectly, but today I get this error:

Now I can’t compile anything. Reinstalling the system or a clean installation from Github does not give anything. Help me please. Thank you in advance!

Ubuntu 20.4 Ubuntu 23 LMDE 5 LMDE 6

Same problem with fresh install

3

running debian trixie, i was able to compile 6e51b363e918ae3ecc88497badc87406a6f08f1f

just to be sure: did u git pull --rebase && ./scripts/feeds update -a && ./scripts/feeds install -a && make dirclean? did you modify anything? what does git status say?

4

I’ll try and write here

git status? what does it say? can you pastebin the complete output of your build including everything?

8

red@red:~/openwrt$ git status On branch main Your branch is up to date with ‘origin/main’.

nothing to commit, working tree clean 111.txt (183,0 КБ)

i had to do a “make distclean” after “git pull” followed by the documented steps

# Update the feeds
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a

make menuconfig
#select "Target System (MediaTek Ralink ARM)" => "Subtarget (Filogic 8x0 (MT798x))" => "Target Profile (Bananapi BPi-R4)"
make -j$(nproc)

he said he deleted the directory and cloned it again, so i guess his approach is more like a make mrproper :wink:

i have no idea what else could cause that. it works on my machine, unfortunately all i can say to that

@Yurannich do you have your own .config or is this the official one? can you paste any difference if there is any?

11

Yes, I tried with my own config and a clean one, but nothing helped! I’ll try a few more options now and report back. And by the way, you guys are very helpful and supportive - thank you very much!

Hi all! Honestly, I don’t know what it was, but it’s some kind of magic - today I started the compilation again and everything worked. I note that while you two weren’t in the comments, nothing worked :)))
