Compiling the toolchain (DGND3700v2)

[neil_townsend]

I've just picked up a DGND3700v2 and, nspired by @richud I thought I'd have a go at building the firmare. I have downloaded the toolchain and source from http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2649/~/netgear-open-source-code-for-programmers-(gpl) and set up a ubuntu (10) environment to have a go.

However, simply unpacking the packages, and then unpacking the toolchain, and then trying 'make menuconfig' and 'make' fails:

/usr/bin/make -j1 -C /usr/src/buildroot-4.4.2-1/output/toolchain/uClibc-0.9.29 \
                ARCH="mips" \
                PREFIX=/usr/src/buildroot-4.4.2-1/output/toolchain/uClibc_dev/ \
                DEVEL_PREFIX=/usr/ \
                RUNTIME_PREFIX=/usr/src/buildroot-4.4.2-1/output/toolchain/uClibc_dev/ \
                HOSTCC="/usr/bin/gcc" \
                oldconfig
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/buildroot-4.4.2-1/output/toolchain/uClibc-0.9.29'
install -d include/bits
/bin/sh: /opt/toolchains/uclibc-crosstools-gcc-4.4.2-1-with-ftw/usr/bin/mips-linux-uclibc-gcc: not found

It seems to be looking for a version of gcc that I would have expected it to build, but it hasn't built it yet. menu-config has gcc ticked!!

I'm probably missing something, any hints on how to get this ball rolling?

Thanks!

OK, it turns out that the file structure as shipped isn't clean. You need to unpack it, do a make distclean, and then start from scratch, setting all the parameters etc.

I have now succeeded in doing this, Please see https://community.netgear.com/t5/DSL-Modems-Routers/Compiling-the-toolchain-for-the-DGND3700v2/m-p/1... for details on how to do so.
