searching RMerlin 380.63 alpha 2 ( unofficial / nightly / latest commit ) build for RT-AC88U

[RMerlin]

THANKS! I know that it just compiles for specific models thats why just searching for AC88U . Thanks for clarification which models should currently compile correct. And i know you dont provide nightlys but u are not disallowing them either, if one would come up with or (on own risk)?

I have no problem with it, as long whoever does them accept full responsibility for any issue that might arise from flashing such builds.

Its a source problem i can compile 380.58 and 308.59.alpha1 fine
merlin will find it and sort out when he gets a chance

One of the two Makefile still had the incorrect paths (I only updated one of the two). I updated the second file as well. Make sure you do a clean checkout of that directory to get rid of any generated Makefile that still has the wrong paths.

Makes it a bit further now..

lighttpd has also sometimes been problematic for me in building my fork when I switch between router models. You might try pulling a fresh image from github, then renaming

/home/shonk/asuswrt-merlin/release/src/router/lighttpd-1.4.39/.gitignore

to something else before doing the build and see if it helps.

 

[Shonk]

it was a fresh pull deleted the while lot
to make sure there's no problems my end

will try .gitignore now

didnt make any diff, was worth a try..

Ok no problem. Thanks for trying!

Hi, finally
Here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/53ceieegk1m99gw/AADMicnzPggBXJC66rbx9v6Aa?dl=0

PS! I'm not responsible for any damages caused by this build

Thanks to RMerlin

 

[ChriscomIT]

Wow great thats kool! Thank you very much CiscoX, RMerlin and Shonk aswell as John9527 !!

I flash it on my own risk and i am fully aware of the possible risks!

Is it latest commit: c88c6e0 dlna: Do not enable the DLNA server by default after a factory defaul…
( looks like it cuz latest commit was 9 hours before and ur compile was 7 hours before and changelog readme is the latest version so i think its based on latest commit, am i right) ?

Thanks again!

Hi. it's without the latest commit c88c6e0.

Filename is RT-AC88U_380.59_alpha2-ga37a89b.zip. Which means this is based on commit a37a89b. See the commit list to track it down:

Ah ok i see. Looked for something like that but seems i was fooled from the g in the beginning. Now i get the naming scheme. And i am checking master tree daily for commits ;-) . Thanks RMerlin!

I suspect g stands for "git".

This automatic naming was actually introduced by Asus. I tweaked the build files so it's optionally inserted, but instructed people doing their own builds to enable that tagging capability to help people figure out what a specific test build actually contains. It's as simple as setting an environment variable at build time:

BUILDREV=1 make rt-ac88u

 

[ChriscomIT]

Anyone already compiled 380.60 alpha2 version for RT-AC88U which merlin bumped latest on github? If so would be great if u share. Thanks in advance!

 

[RMerlin]

Careful if you play with the 380.60 code.

1) This includes the new header format, which prevents directly flashing to an older version. You have to use recovery mode or directly write with mtd-write2 to go back to an older version (I'm not gonna publicly show how to use mtd-write2 due to the high risk it carries - experts would already know how to use it)

2) The binary blobs from 380_32xx are not compatible with the GPL code from 380_33xx and newer, due to a change in an enumeration. It will compile, but it will NOT work properly.

3) Due to this, only the AC87, AC88 and AC3100 can be compiled off the 34xx branch. AC68 and AC56 should be compilable off the 32xx branch, but it's entirely untested.

4) The MIPS GPL release are missing a new binary blob, so they can't be compiled at all

 

[ChriscomIT]

Thanks for the info Eric ! Maybe i try it myself this weekend.

 

[Shonk]

im going to do the ac88 in a sec will fire off a vanilla build before i customise for myself
