Issue with mipsel linux compilation
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 2:40 pm
Your project has caught the eyes of a few of us 3rd party router firmware enthusiasts. I particularly like to use TomatoUSB, but there is also DD-WRT and OpenWRT I think would apply. I've attempted to compile your software for these devices without success.
I think the issue lies within our use of the uClibc library. I believe that static binaries you provide are dependent on another libc implementation, and so won't compile. This is just a guess, but our use of uClibc has often for me been a pebble in my shoe when trying to compile other things as well. Of course this will be much easier for everyone once your project is able to release its code.
Just a request if you can do it. Could you perhaps provide completely static pre-compiled binaries for mipsel-linux?. I know static binaries will not always work in all cases. Or better, could you add another download option using the "entware" tooclhain for your pre-compilation static libraries.

This is one of the better toolchains for uClibc that I have found. Entware is a (modern optware) project to install additional programs on routers using a USB flash drive, and works with all 3rd party firmwares I can note (TomatoUSB DD-WRT and OpenWRT).
