question in building wgr614v8-v1.1.1_1.0.20NA_src

I got an segmentation error when compiling wgr614v8-v1.1.1_1.0.20NA_src code, can anyone take a look for me ?

From this log it seems that u

From this log it seems that u r having problems in creating a chk image and ur compilation part is through ....
It seems there is some problem in the tools which r used to create a chk image ...
Please check if these tools r OK or not ....
U r thru the compilation part .. its just some trivial problem in chk relted tools....

I find out the problem now.

I find out the problem now. When doing 'make menuconfig' in the /router directory, if you change any configuration and save it, the segmentation fault will appear. So I can only exit without saving when doing 'make menuconfig'.
But right now I wanna add some code into the firmware, thus I need to change the configuration. How can I figure this out?

If you are getting a

If you are getting a segmentation fault for make menuconfig it means there is some problem in your build environment ..... Please check if u r using proper toolchain ... and also which kernel you are using in the PC where u compile ur code ...

If still true or can anyone

If still true or can anyone come in handy - a problem in the variable fw_cfg_file from the file bcm4718/src/router/Makefile, in this segment 

cd $ (PLATFORMDIR) & & touch rootfs & & \
    .. / .. / .. / Tools / packet-k linux.trx-f rootfs-b $ (BOARDID_FILE) \
    -Ok kernel_image-oall kernel_rootfs_image-or rootfs_image \
    -I $ (fw_cfg_file) & & \
    rm-f rootfs & & \
    cp kernel_rootfs_image.chk $ (FW_NAME) _ `date +% m% d% H% M`. chk

This variable is empty, so the error of segmentation.
I corrected this transfer line 

fw_cfg_file: = .. / .. / .. / project / acos / include / ambitCfg.h

outside the 

ifeq ($(CONFIG_ACOS_MODULES),y)

Main problem in 'make menuconfig', which create .config file without variable CONFIG_ACOS_MODULES, so you must to use make PROFILE=your_router_model instead make menuconfig
