Thanks, @Adamm its working great so far.

Just now installing in my Windows 10 Ubuntu subsystem. Seems pretty amazing so far. Many thanks for you creating this!!!

How long should updating the build tree take?

@Adamm - you made it amazingly simple. Both AC86U and AC68U completed the 386.1 alpha2 build alright. The latter is already loaded and running.
Thank you!

The whole process takes about 1 hour on my NAS which has an Intel i3-8100T, so depending on your CPU etc this will vary. Also note that this script was designed and tested only on full Ubuntu installations and not WSL, so additional steps/packages may be required.

Oddly, I have the same CPU as you do! Will let it run a couple hours.

For a general consensus, I would have to say updating the build tree takes 10 minutes per tree

Can someone share a RT-AC68U (386.1) build. Thanks!

I am getting the following error trying to build the RT-AX58U image (these are the only errors I notice in rt-ax58u-output.txt). What is "Error 2"? What is the best course to correct this error?

From my understanding you can only build the alphas for RT-AC68U, RT-AC86U, RT-AC5300, and RT-AX88U at this time.

This is from my builds so far, I tried RT-AC3100, AC88U,AX58U, and AX56U all with "failed" status on my first go around. So far I was only able to build RT-AC86U, AC68U,AC5300, and AX88U.
This was a recent test to see how long it would take on Ubuntu. My first attempt was on WSL.

Yep, that looks about right. Mine took the same amount of time for my AX88U.

Thank you @Adamm!

I tried this script. I'm getting a failure on compiling for the AC86U.

I figured it out. I was missing the BC package. I created a docker image and run with a container to compile the firmware.

Thank you @Adamm for this great resource! It's great to see this script getting a lot more visibility during our wait for the migration to the 386 code branch.

A had a question for the seasoned linux veterans in this forum: I am using WSL2 with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. After some tweaking and setup found here (https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Compiling-under-WSL2) I finally got the script to build the 68U firmware without errors! I opted not to setup the ssh output to my router, so I was hoping to figure out where the outputted compile build would be found within the linux file architecture?
