Hi All;

I wish someone can help with this problem.

I downloaded whiterussian_rc4.tar.bz2, decompress it, run 'make menuconfig', run 'make'. And compilations stops at

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/socrates/openwrt/whiterussian/openwrt/target/lzma'
make -C /home/socrates/openwrt/whiterussian/openwrt/build_mipsel/lzma/SRC/7zip/Compress/LZMA_Lib
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/socrates/openwrt/whiterussian/openwrt/build_mipsel/lzma/SRC/7zip/Compress/LZMA_Lib'

ZLib.cpp:58: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each

I'VE TRUNCATED THE MESSAGE

$locate zlib.h

What is it that I'm missing here?

You are missing libz-dev package on your GNU/Linux distribution.

See the 4.2. Requirements for compiling OpenWrt in the FAQ.

Thanks Olli; I will give it try and see how it does.

Much appreciated.

if your on fedora here is a  list of what I had to install after I had done a minimal install:

yum install subversion gcc binutils patch bzip2 flex bison make gettext pkg-config unzip zlib-devel libc tftp compat-libstdc++-33 jikes ncurses-devel compat-libstdc++-33 gcc-c++
