looking for optware gcc package in ipk format? for ARMv7

[mrdude]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find an gcc - ipk package for using on my AC87U (armv7) router.

It's not in the repo that comes with entware and I have tried finding it on the net with no luck so far.

Cheers.

Interesting, wonder why its not there, presumably because the Entware build system is so great it is assumed you do all you compiling offline using a cross compiler?

In his new optware fork Alllexx seems to have one
Optware or Entware
https://github.com/alllexx88/optware/tree/master/sources/gcc

And Tomatoware for tomato routers (maybe same Asus firmware toolchain?) might be useful

Oh well :-(

Which package do you want to compile and why from entware if you have a full debian distro?

Thanks, I did install debian wheezy last night on my router and managed to compile the program I wanted - I appreciate you posting this, I also installed the mipsel debain wheezy on my VU DUO 2 sat box as well and used it for compiling mipsel apps.

Cheers.

Not sure it's a good idea to mix modern Tomatoware toolchain files with ancient ones from Optware.

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find an gcc - ipk package for using on my AC87U (armv7) router.

If you are about Optware toolchain, try:

ipkg install buildroot

I'm using entware - optware doesn't have ipkg, but it's ok now as I installed debain wheezy on a USB drive and made a 500MB swap file, I have compiled what I wanted so with that, thanks.
