[Help] Building firmware for Verizon Westell 7500 modem
Hey guys, I need help complying firmware so I can update my Westell A90-750115-07 router/modem. Unfortunately, I'm not to familiar with linux and tried using cygwin to emulate linux under windows but I kept getting too many errors when I tried to create the update. If anyone can compile the firmware and post it would be greatly appreciated.

1 edit | There seems to be something missing in their instructions.
When I follow their instructions, the build fails.
/bin/sh: /opt/westell_msw2/bin/mips-linux-gcc: cannot execute binary file
It is possible that this depends on a particular linux kernel, since the error messages mention 2.6.8.1 . I'm currently running 2.6.25.20
Incidently, the file 'mips-linux-gcc' in their provided tools is a symlink to 'mips-linux-uclibc-gcc'.
so something is amiss there, perhaps an incompatibility between their tools and my system.

| Extracting was not a problem, but compiling was.
My current guess is that they built this on a MIPS system, and used gnu software. So they are technically living up to GPL requirements by releasing their source, but they aren't going out of there way to make it easy.
