Dear All,

I am seeing the following linker error messages when I try to build
the OpenWRT image for my board.

arm-openwrt-linux-uclibcgnueabi-ld:arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds:284:
ignoring invalid character `#' in expression
arm-openwrt-linux-uclibcgnueabi-ld:arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds:284: syntax error

I googled, but there is no much luck for me. I did not understand why
am I getting this error.

Any suggestions / hints would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help, too.

Thanks and Regards,
Madhavi M.

Dear All,

It was resolved. Thanks.

That's great! However, a few words of explanation might be helpful in
case anyone else runs across this issue. (And I'm curious.)

Dear Jonathan Bennett,

It was due to a comment line which is placed in the
arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds file. The comment was added as //comment.
However, when I looked whole vmlinux.lds file, all the comments are
included in /* */. So, I changed it to /* */ instead //. Then it
compiled. I do not know the exact reason for that. May be .lds files
do not accept the comments in //.

Thanks.

Regards,
Madhavi M.
