I just started using White Russian, and Linux in general so I don't know much. I was trying to just make a hello world C program to test out white russian. I was using this guide and when It got to the makefile to make the package for white russian i was totally lost. I copied and pasted it, and used find and replace to change the filename. when i exectuted "make V=99" i got this

qazmonk@qazmonk-VirtualBox:~/Desktop/OpenWrt-SDK-Linux-x86_64-1$ make V=99

Here is the code:

c program named helloWorld.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("Hello World!\n");
    return 0;
}

2nd Makefile

##############################################
# OpenWrt Makefile for helloWorld program
#
#
# Most of the variables used here are defined in
# the include directives below. We just need to
# specify a basic description of the package,
# where to build our program, where to find
# the source files, and where to install the
# compiled program on the router.
#
# Be very careful of spacing in this file.
# Indents should be tabs, not spaces, and
# there should be no trailing whitespace in
# lines that are not commented.
#
##############################################

include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk

# Name and release number of this package
PKG_NAME:=helloWorld
PKG_RELEASE:=1

# This specifies the directory where we're going to build the program.
# The root build directory, $(BUILD_DIR), is by default the build_mipsel
# directory in your OpenWrt SDK directory
PKG_BUILD_DIR := $(BUILD_DIR)/$(PKG_NAME)

include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk

# Specify package information for this program.
# The variables defined here should be self explanatory.
define Package/helloWorld
    SECTION:=utils
    CATEGORY:=Utilities
    TITLE:=helloWorld -- prints a snarky message
    DESCRIPTION:=\
    If you can't figure out what this program does, \\\
    you're probably brain-dead and need immediate \\\
    medical attention.
endef

# Specify what needs to be done to prepare for building the package.
# In our case, we need to copy the source files to the build directory.
# This is NOT the default.  The default uses the PKG_SOURCE_URL and the
# PKG_SOURCE which is not defined here to download the source from the web.
# In order to just build a simple program that we have just written, it is
# much easier to do it this way.
define Build/Prepare
    mkdir -p $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)
    $(CP) ./src/* $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/
endef

# We do not need to define Build/Configure or Build/Compile directives
# The defaults are appropriate for compiling a simple program such as this one

# Specify where and how to install the program. Since we only have one file,
# the helloWorld executable, install it by copying it to the /bin directory on
# the router. The $(1) variable represents the root directory on the router running
# OpenWrt. The $(INSTALL_DIR) variable contains a command to prepare the install
# directory if it does not already exist.  Likewise $(INSTALL_BIN) contains the
# command to copy the binary file from its current location (in our case the build
# directory) to the install directory.
define Package/helloWorld/install
    $(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/bin
    $(INSTALL_BIN) $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/helloWorld $(1)/bin/
endef

# This line executes the necessary commands to compile our program.
# The above define directives specify all the information needed, but this
# line calls BuildPackage which in turn actually uses this information to
# build a package.
$(eval $(call BuildPackage,helloWorld))

1st makefile

helloworld: helloWorld.o
    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) helloWorld.o -o helloWorld
helloworld.o: helloWorld.c
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c helloWorld.c
clean:
    rm *.o helloWorld

I tried literally copying the code from the example and It still doesn't work. Also the code will compile in the helloWorld file, it just wont compile in the SDK

I realized a day ago that I installed the wrong version of Open WRT SDK.... I feel like a dumbass

How do you know which version will work? i am getting same error please help. my system info is:
fyp@linux-57jt:~> uname -a
