Compiling now seems broken ??

[kernol51]

I fully appreciate that you are hectically busy - and remain less inclined to support this script given the treatment meted out to you and other add-on builders ... so forgive me for appealing to you to take a look at a compile for the AX86U using this script.

The compile runs almost to the end as far as I can make out - then fails - here are the messages on the terminal screen ... --- 06:52 - Global cleanup... --- 06:52 - Preparing trees

06:52 - Cleaning up rt-ax86u... 06:52 - Updating rt-ax86u tree... *** 06:59 - rt-ax86u code ready.

--- 06:59 - All trees ready!

--- 06:59 - Launching all builds *** 06:59 - Starting building rt-ax86u... --- 06:59 - All builds launched, please wait...

!!! 07:45 - rt-ax86u build failed! (00h:52m:31s) !!! 07:45 - /home/johnw/amcfwm/rt-ax86u-output.txt

=== 07:45 - All done!

The last successful compile I did using the script was for 386.3-Alpha_1. Since then I spotted your update adding further models [none of interest to me] and applied it before attempting to compile. I also reran option 2 to update the VM as well as option 3 - toolchain update [having updated Ubuntu 18.04]. First attempt failed. I have fully uninstalled the script - and then re-installed from scratch. Attempt this morning also failed.

The rt-ax86u-output.txt file is almost 20Mb - so hesitate to attach - but can if it will help. Noteworthy warnings at the end of the file are ...

make -C tor -j4 make[5]: Entering directory '/home/johnw/amng.ax86/release/src/router/tor' CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /home/johnw/amng.ax86/release/src/router/tor/missing aclocal-1.16 -I m4 /home/johnw/amng.ax86/release/src/router/tor/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.16: command not found WARNING: 'aclocal-1.16' is missing on your system.

If you can help - GREAT ... if not ... I will understand and not bother you again.

If you are using "Ubuntu 18.04" then you need to apply this patch: fix_Ubuntu 18.04.zip

[kernol51]

Sorry @alexins - but I have no idea who you are or what you may have included in your .zip file ... so ZERO chance of me downloading or applying any such. I will wait patiently for a response from the author of this script.

[Adamm00]

Try;

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install automake-1.16

[alexins]

The problem is you don't have "aclocal-1.16". You need to re-generate the build-scripts for "aclocal-1.15". Here "link to code from Adamm00 https://github.com/Adamm00/amcfwm/commit/625a62fd942c074ae157f44ad3eac7f3bdb4b5eb " you can see how you can do it. In this patch, you need to change the line: "if grep -qF "Ubuntu 20.04" "/etc/os-release"; then" like this: "if grep -qF "Ubuntu 18.04" "/etc/os-release"; then"

Or you can install "Ubuntu 20.04". After installing "Ubuntu 20.04" do this: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash" -> "Then tell it to NOT use dash" and then follow the installation instruction "amcfwm" There are no build issues in "Ubuntu 20.04"!

[alexins]

Try;

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install automake-1.16

This does not work with "Ubuntu 18.04"

Many thanks @alexins and @Adamm00 - I understood this script was originally built for 18.04 and did not realise it was now better suited to 20.04. I am simply upgrading my VM to 20.04 and will then try fresh install of the script.

[alexins]

@kernol51 , After installing "Ubuntu 20.04" do this: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash" -> "Then tell it to NOT use dash"

it is better to perform a clean installation of "Ubuntu 20.04". there is a high probability that when switching from "Ubuntu 18.04" to "Ubuntu 20.04", there may be problems with the "amcfwm" script

[kernol51]

Thanks again - done clean install - just running apt-get update etc and will then follow your advice before clean install of @Adamm00 's script. It would be help if he changed the links on his first page to 20.04 downloads rather than the 18.04 ones ;-)

That's strange - this time the compile failed due to not having aclocal-1.15 Wasted 40 minutes before the compile failed with this error ...

I have run sudo apt-get install automake-1.15 and will see if this time a compile will work ... ???

I did a test of the last code change https://github.com/Adamm00/amcfwm/commit/8db714c952203531093b09f8f9112e06f4a4f529. Clean install "Ubuntu 20.04". Building the code doesn't work:

/home/alex/amng.ax68/release/src/router/wget/build-aux/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.15: command not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.15' is missing on your system.

To build the code correctly, the system must have two versions of "automake" installed: "automake-1.15" and "automake-1.16" For the build to work with "Ubuntu 20.04" you need to undo the change associated with "automake-1.16". On "Ubuntu 20.04" "automake-1.16" is installed by default, requires "automake-1.15" to be installed.

To make the code work with "Ubuntu 18.04", the changes to "aclocal-1.16" must be removed. And you need to add a patch:

if grep -qF "Ubuntu 18.04" "/etc/os-release"; then
echo "*** $(date +%R) - Patching wget"
cd "$HOME/$FWPATH/../src/router/wget" || exit 1
autoreconf -f -i >/dev/null 2>&1
echo "*** $(date +%R) - Patching tor"
cd "$HOME/$FWPATH/../src/router/tor" || exit 1
autoreconf -f -i >/dev/null 2>&1

Yes, that's right, you need to do this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install automake-1.15

Yes, that's right, you need to do this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install automake-1.15

Exactly what I did - and after that I got a successful build - MANY thanks for your input ... and pleased you did not take offence at my caution when you posted .zip files as a solution ;-)

It's a good news! After installing "automake-1.15" my second test was successful!

and pleased you did not take offence at my caution when you posted .zip files as a solution ;-)

I'm used to it and don't really pay attention to things like that)

[kernol51]

Many thanks @Adamm00 and @alexins - all sorted.
