Hi all,
I succeeded to build helloworld.c following the openwrt guide and installing the file on the router, however, I have big troubles in installing the cpp version. I don't get what I am missing in the make file as I manage to get an executable, and installing it on the modem but it looks like l can't really run it, the error I get is:
/usr/bin/helloworld: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")
It is not really a syntax error as I managed to build successfully the file and run it on my host arch, therefore I suspect is a dependency I am missing, could you please tell me if I am doing something wrong? Thanks!
