Tomatoware on DD-WRT

[rampageX]

I want use Buffalo WZR-1750dhp for compile work because the router have 512M RAM, and only DD-WRT support 512M RAM for now.

Any source without use automake/autoconf were compiled fine, others did not. When i run make, these error msg show immediately:

Makefile:xxx: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[1]: *\ [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx' Makefile:xxx: recipe for target 'all' failed

I go google and got the same situation post on Open-WRT forum:

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=60605

Just remove the trailing '\' from the up line of the 'dot_seen=no; \' then 'make' work:

fi; \ dot_seen=no; \

to

fi; dot_seen=no; \

But I need to modify all these Makefile~

Do you have any suggestion? @lancethepants

Hmmm... I'm not sure with this issue. Have you only experienced the issue while using dd-wrt? Does the same version of Tomatoware work fine for what you're trying to compile with a router loaded with tomato?

[rampageX]

yes，same tomatoware same program source compile fine on tomato firmware even asus merlin firmware, only happen on dd-wrt...

[lancethepants]

I build tomatoware using the kernel headers that tomato and rmerlin are built against. dd-wrt uses a different kernel, so maybe there is a reason there.

@darkfires from OpenWrt: (https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=60605)

I have figured out a way to (workaround) that issue. The problem actually has NOTHING to do with make or autotools itself. I believe the issue is truly in libc, if you compile a static bash on a system with normal glibc, and stick that in /bin/sh, it will solve the make error problem.

So i static compile bash on tomatoware and install, then use:

CONFIG_SHELL=/mmc/bin/bash /mmc/bin/bash ./configure --prefix=/opt

and make with no error!

[rampageX]

OK, the easy way is:

Run export CONFIG_SHELL=/mmc/bin/bash first before run ./configure

It seem like is DD-WRT's /bin/bash problem, it's default CONFIG_SHELL. No need to static compile bash, tomatoware include one work fine.

[lancethepants]

Does dd-wrt really include a real version of bash in /bin/bash? Does the issue still happen even if you have /mmc/sbin:/mmc/bin first in your $PATH? (are you using /mmc/etc/profile to setup environment variables, maybe symlinked to /opt/etc/profile ?)

It might sound like autotools by defualt uses /bin/bash unless the CONFIG_SHELL environment variable is set. In /mmc/etc/profile I export many environment variables. If you add

export CONFIG_SHELL=/mmc/bin/bash

to /mmc/etc/profile, making sure it is executing when you login, does this work as well? It think it should, and I can add it there in next release.

1. yes, dd-wrt really include a real version of bash in /bin/bash:

[tomatoware][compiler:/tmp/mnt/sda2/compile]$ /bin/bash --help
GNU bash, version 4.3.42(1)-release-(arm-openwrt-linux-gnu)
Usage:  /bin/bash [GNU long option] [option] ...
    /bin/bash [GNU long option] [option] script-file ...
GNU long options:
    --debug
    --debugger
    --dump-po-strings
    --dump-strings
    --help
    --init-file
    --login
    --noediting
    --noprofile
    --norc
    --posix
    --rcfile

    --version
Shell options:
    -ilrsD or -c command or -O shopt_option     (invocation only)
    -abefhkmnptuvxBCHP or -o option
Type `/bin/bash -c "help set"' for more information about shell options.
Type `/bin/bash -c help' for more information about shell builtin commands.
Use the `bashbug' command to report bugs.

1. yes, /mmc/sbin; /mmc/bin first in my $PATH, the issue still happen, and when i run ./configure, it is always generate a Makefile which include SHELL = /bin/bash unless the CONFIG_SHELL env is set, it will be SHELL = /mmc/bin/bash
2. yes, i add export CONFIG_SHELL=/mmc/bin/bash to /mmc/etc/profile, then i relogin, it's work well. (I run ./configure with different parameters for make sure it generate a new Makefile)

[lancethepants]

Awesome I will add that that environment variable to 'profile' for future release. Are you szpunk in linksysinfo?

[rampageX]

yes，i am 😁

[lancethepants]

Thanks for your input! I've now committed it to github.
