I'm trying to compile merlin.ng from source (so I can enable some extra services)
I've followed the instructions (which allowed me to build for a rt-ac68u no problem)
However, it breaks very early on with:
make[4]: Entering directory '/home/jyavenard/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-5.02hnd/kernel/linux-4.1'
make[5]: '../../.config' is up to date.

any ideas?

thanks I updated the wiki instructions not long back with how I got it to build on Ubuntu and what you have to add/change.

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Compile-Firmware-from-source-using-Ubuntu yes this is the guide I've been following.
Anyhow, it's just master/HEAD that fails to compile. tag 382.2* builds fine...
I haven't looked in details on what's needed to fix it... Change link /bin/sh to point to the bash shell, not dash .
Always compile from a fresh backup copy of the source code. Do not type anywhere make clean . Do not try to compile a different target after successfully compiling another one. That's what I figured and I didn't do make clean, and also changed sh to link to bash.
this didn't help.
Looks like something wasn't checked-in in the tree to me...
Edit: It's building fine after the today's pull rm -f 9a7ccd464cb535a1b39cc3e34421bc5b4ceb25f4.tar.gz wget https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/archive/9a7ccd464cb535a1b39cc3e34421bc5b4ceb25f4.tar.gz tar xzvf 9a7ccd464cb535a1b39cc3e34421bc5b4ceb25f4.tar.gz rm -rf asuswrt-merlin.ng mv asuswrt-merlin.ng-master asuswrt-merlin.ng rm -rf ~/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-5.02hnd/bcmdrivers/broadcom/net/wl/impl51/main/src/toolchains ln -s ~/am-toolchains/brcm-arm-hnd ~/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-5.02hnd/bcmdrivers/broadcom/net/wl/impl51/main/src/toolchains rm -rf ~/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-6.x.4708/toolchains ln -s ~/am-toolchains/brcm-arm-sdk ~/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-6.x.4708/toolchains sudo rm -f /bin/sh && sudo ln -s bash /bin/sh export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-5.3-linux-4.1-glibc-2.22-binutils-2.25/usr/lib export TOOLCHAIN_BASE=/opt/toolchains echo $PATH | grep -qF /opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-5.3-linux-4.1-glibc-2.22-binutils-2.25/usr/bin || export PATH=$PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-5.3-linux-4.1-glibc-2.22-binutils-2.25/usr/bin echo $PATH | grep -qF /opt/toolchains/crosstools-aarch64-gcc-5.3-linux-4.1-glibc-2.22-binutils-2.25/usr/bin || export PATH=$PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-aarch64-gcc-5.3-linux-4.1-glibc-2.22-binutils-2.25/usr/bin cd ~/asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src-rt-5.02hnd make rt-ac86u
