Any idea how to solve this compilation error ?

UPDATE

Asus uploaded fixed GPL packages, now it works fine.

Original post:
Hi,
I downloaded the latest GPL source code for the DSL-N17U model. I saw that someone reported a similar issue on the official ASUS forum but still tried to compile it.
And I'm always getting this error:

The picture above is from the latest AC56U source - I also tried this one because they released a newer firmware and source code but I get the same error - so the GPL code they uploaded is still glitched or my system is missing something (nothing new mentioned in the readme).
I'm using their "recommended" setup, Ubuntu 12.04 + stuff from the readme and Merlin's page https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Compile-Firmware-from-source-using-Ubuntu.

The previous code from february compiles without issues this way. Any idea what that "lptcsrv" might be ?

ptcsrv is the new protect_srv service from Asus, under router/protect_srv/.

Dunno if Asus actually tested it on these MIPS models, you could disable it in your build config.

Disabled "ASUS_PROTECTION_SERVER" in the device profile file, but still the same error.

Disabled "ASUS_PROTECTION_SERVER" in the device profile file, but still the same error.

Make sure to do a "make clean" and also remove the .config file.

Also, something looks odd with your build path, such as reference to DSL-AC56U when you mention building DSL-N17U. In fact, I don't even recognize the paths in your output as being regular Asuswrt paths.

I tried to build the AC56U fw as well because it's a newer version (hoped if they fixed it for this one the next one for DSL-17U will be fixed as well). The DSL sources - at least the ones I saw have different file structure than RT routers probably that's why the paths look different.
