[ovs-discuss] OVS 2.3.1 build fail using openwrt buildroot

[Alison C.]

Hey everybody,

Is there a minimum binutils version required to build OVS 2.3.1?

I'm trying to build it in a openwrt buildroot environment, but it
fails with "{standard input}:1116: Error: unknown pseudo-op:
`.tprelword'". According to a [Stack Overflow
thread](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8872517) this could be due
to too old version of binutils or gcc/g++ version mismatch. The
versions of gcc, g++, and binutils are as follows:

[11:42:40] erinacity:~/Code/openwrt/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/bin
alisonc $ ./mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc --version | head -1
mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc (OpenWrt/Linaro GCC 4.8-2014.04 r45620) 4.8.3

alisonc $ ./mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc-g++ --version | head -1
mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc-g++ (OpenWrt/Linaro GCC 4.8-2014.04 r45620) 4.8.3

alisonc $ ./mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc-as --version | head -1
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.22

Thanks for any input you might have.

Cheers,
Alison
