Just read this thread today and want to mention, that if you run into build problems you should issue a "make distclean" (not dirclean) to get rid of all old stuff and extra packages (create patches of your manual changes first, so you can later re-apply them). Remember that trunk is ongoing development (equals "alpha state") and that build problems and clean-ups are normal things there.
Tip: Create a simple batch script to keep your downloads when doing a distclean like this... (ftp://ftp.maddes.net/maddes.net/openwrt/distclean_build.sh) mv dl dl_save make distclean mv dl_save dl My two cents Maddes On 27.07.2010 11:40, Joseph Roback wrote: > Seems people are filing tickets about it now... > > https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/7674 > > I had the same thing happen to me with uhttpd, (minus the lua stuff), where > the build system didn't build openssl first.
