For the 4th time I tried to build this code.

First I did a full clean install of Fedora 8.

Then I added in the additional "compat-8" stuff.

Again down-loaded the 2 modules from the Netget web site.

Again I tried to follow instuctions to the letter.

In step 5 of "build the toolchain" says to

" Please read the "README.TXT" files in each directory, and follow the insctructions to build the target code."

the readme file in "tools-src"  

under  "To make the GNU toolchain" 

says to:

 o cd to ../release/src/router
 o make menuconfig

 this fails with

    .......... 

    gcc  -I/usr/include/ncurses -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>" -I. -c mconf.c -o mconf.o
    mconf.c:93: error: static declaration of ‘current_menu’ follows non-static declaration
    lkc.h:59: error: previous declaration of ‘current_menu’ was here
    make[1]: *** [mconf.o] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/netgear/bcm5354/src/router/config'

the next step

o Get back to the tools-src directory and run
   build_tools.sh
 

fails with

    ............

    Install of binutils succeeded.
    Static library copy succeeded.
    Doing xgcc: Wed Feb 27 20:00:31 EST 2008
    Configure of xgcc succeeded.   
    MAKE OF XGCC FAILED, 2

looking at the ",xgcc-build.log" shows 

      ..................
    /netgear/toolchain/tools-src/gnu/gcc/gcc/read-rtl.c: In function ‘fatal_with_file_and_line’:
    /netgear/toolchain/tools-src/gnu/gcc/gcc/read-rtl.c:62: warning: traditional C rejects ISO C style function definitions
    /netgear/toolchain/tools-src/gnu/gcc/gcc/read-rtl.c: In function ‘read_rtx’:
    /netgear/toolchain/tools-src/gnu/gcc/gcc/read-rtl.c:662: error: invalid lvalue in increment
    gmake[1]: *** [read-rtl.o] Error 1
    gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/netgear/toolchain/tools-src/obj/xgcc/gcc'
    gmake: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

Continuing on the build process fails at the last step because it can not execute "TRX". to create the final image.

I need some help in trying to get a clean build

It would be nice if Netgear actually tested this out before just dumping it on the web.

I sure that their developers use it succesfully on their platforms, but

How do you install it on a new system????

Thank you
