Need assistance with compiling wpa for RT-86U

[tgenius]

Good Afternoon!

I'm trying to follow your instructions but as I have an RT-86U, which is based on armv7 3.2 or aarch64 3.1, the compiled wpa files are not compatible. Can you please show me how to do the compilation, as I can't figure it out :(

https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32426308-AT-T-Fiber-Using-Asuswrt-Merlin-to-bypass-RG There are some precompiled builds for arm7 3.2 within this thread. I was able to get this up and running on an AX58U using the arm 7 3.2 files and making sure to adjust the port accordingly with the wpa_supplicant launching script (on that router, eth4 is the WAN port, not sure about the 86U)

I managed to compile the required packages for aarch64-k3.10.
packages.zip

Notes:
Use menuconfig to enable wpa-supplicant
Update libubus.so path in package/system/ubus/Makefile
make package/network/services/hostapd/compile

@Nifury - Your files were very helpful and helped me to use it on an aarch64 based Asus GT-AXE11000 router. Could you please help me understand from where you got the source files, how to do cross-compiling of the packages for aarch64 platform on a x86-64 Ubuntu machine so that I can compile this by myself going forward for the latest versions? I have to compile wpa-cli as well.

@mohamed-saleem-sm Glad it helped! So I basically followed this guide: https://github.com/Entware/Entware/wiki/Compile-packages-from-sources. The provided scripts can cross-compile for aarch64.

Sorry I don't remember much more details. It was a one-time effort so I didn't keep all the commands.

I was able to compile the packages for aarch64, your instructions and the webpage helped! Thank you, @Nifury !
