Issues While Compiling the image for dsl-n55u #3

Closed mute019 closed 5 months ago

mute019 commented 2 years ago

I think nobody ever notified you about the issues when they compile the image, the error i'm facing is in the log, check it out if you have time.

I'm a beginner so I don't have much knowledge about Linux command lines but I think the problem is in the soft linking of the file. Can you describe more about that also I've created the 'opt' outside of the main repo and copied the whole brcm directory to 'opt' then executed 'ln -s' command.

I need to firmware badly man for router.

Please read Lines at the end of the log.

looks like more the compiler is not in the proper place, did you follow this? https://github.com/matteocrippa/dsl-n55u-bender/blob/master/README.TXT

I had to skip the tar ball extraction step as there were no GPL tar file available in Asus's Website. Perhaps they have moved it to somewhere else.

Next issue was with 'opt/brcm' when try to use softlink using the command "ln -s opt/brcm" it shows error: no such file or directory as "opt/brcm". However, if I create the directory "opt/brcm" just outside your unzipped repository(in the Download directory of my Kali Linux) then navigate inside opt and execute "ln -s brcm" I face no issues.

Third, gconf or gconf-editor has been discontinued.

I think my issue is located in the above two steps. Also please clarify where I can get the GPL tarball as these may have been discontinued by Asus.

Also please analyze my second step if I have done it correctly, my instincts tells me that the "opt/brcm" is something that I dont have to create on my own, it may be located in the GPL tar file.

Sorry for Late reply, Thanks :)

hard to help, it's bit a lot of time that I don't use it anymore (router broke in the past) and have not that crazy memory. Worth prolly contact asus to figure out if they can re-upload the files, I guess they should be in some ftp still, but no idea of the address of that

Last Question, did it have any Access Point Mode after flashing the Custom Firmware? AP mode is the reason why I'm trying to flash custom firmware. Thanks Anyways :)

tbh i don't remember, i was not using it as ap at that time, but consider most of the feature were in place, the scope of the repo was to provide a better ui
