RT-AC68U master branch compile error

[eldi0s]

Hi,

I was using Merlin builds for years, now trying to compile my own one, but stuck with the below error message.

Build system is a fresh install of x64 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a VM, followed the Wiki and installed all x86 libs. Also tried different
distros and the docker image. The result is always the same.

I get an error from busybox/coreutils stating that "rm.c" cannot find "rtconfig.h" which I got resolved replacing the include
reference with a hard link to the file.

rm.c

#include <rtconfig.h>

was replaced by

#include "/root/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src/router/shared/rtconfig.h"

Now I'm stuck with this and really have no clue how to get over it:

 [shared] CC stun.o
 [shared] CC scripts.o
#nothing to do...
 [shared] CC timer_utils.o
 [shared] CC bcmwifi_channels.o
 [shared] CC wl.o
 [shared] CC wl_linux.o
 [shared] CC broadcom.o

Anyones advice would really be appreciated?

You have to checkout the 386_x branch to compile the older routers.

That did it. THX

Maybe this should be added to the WIKI.

For older routers like RT-AC68U

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/RMerl/am-toolchains
git clone -b 386_x https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng

No, because branches can change at any time throughout development. For example the 388.1 required one particular model to be built from 388_20566. 388.2_1 requires another model to be built from 22668.
