Ok so it seems I was just over-thinking all of this and following too many optional documents out there which can be super confusing. I have my notes now. With that said, it seems like everything is working for me but..... I get this error: fatal error: bits/getopt_core.h: No such file or directory When I comment out the #include in ampr.ripd.c, it compiles and i have the executable. I have not moved it to the target for testing yet because I want to see if this file is needed for the program to operate correctly. I dont see anything here or on Google except for one that said, comment out the #include but it was about another application using that file. Thanks again for steering me in the right direction. Ive made more progress in the last hour than I have all week.

I think my main issues are the errors I get and deciphering what they mean. Thats why i wanted to setup like whats common among the group so in my eye Im comparing apples to apples. Thanks for the response.

At the bottom of the page, there's a download for your relevant Software Development Kit (SDK). Everything is included in the SDK. The SDKs are made to work on Linux x86_64. The only method is to cross compile. The OpenWrt Wiki has a cross-compile page. All linked on the AMPR Wiki page. 73, Lynwood KB3VWG -------- Original message -------- From: Harold via 44net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Date: 1/27/23 02:37 (GMT-05:00) To: 44net(a)mailman.ampr.org Subject: [44net] ampr-ripd 2.4.1 / openwrt Ok I know there are A LOT of post from the PAST about compiling ampr-ripd for OpenWRT but for the last few days, I have been racking my brain trying to get this thing to compile for the router that I would like to use for my gateway but I think I broke my brain.... I know Lynwood has done some extensive posting on this but things are just not working out for me. Many different errors when trying different processes. So, I would like to ask... 1st, for those that are cross-compiling, what development environment are you using such as, linux version, the dependencies needed for that environment to work, and what version of ampr-ripd are we cross-compiling for use in OpenWRT? I would like to build the setup as someone who is successful with these processes. Once that is done, Ill move on to the next step and try my hand at compiling ampr-ripd again for my target device. Baby steps. Thanks for any direction with this...
