Dear All : 


    I compile the openwrt (trunk version) , The   basic configure below :

               Target System (Ralink RT288x/RT3xxx)  --->                 
              Subtarget (RT3x5x/RT5350 based boards)  --->   


    But can't compile finished ...   Display result below :

    .
    .
    .

checking for mkdtemp... yes
checking whether mkfifo rejects trailing slashes... yes
checking whether mknod can create fifo without root privileges... configure: error: in `/opt/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/host/tar-1.28':
configure: error: you should not run configure as root (set FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 in environment to bypass this check)
See `config.log' for more details
make[3]: *** [/opt/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/host/tar-1.28/.configured] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/openwrt/trunk/tools/tar'

Try not compiling as root.

The discussion might have continued from here.
