I'm trying to run ./configure and I get following message from config.log:

I've installed sudo apt-get install build-essential and sudo apt-get update but it didn't help.

Try to reinstall glibc

@melfnc
glibc? AFAICS, the software is clearly labeled as using uClibc.

@nmajid2
Did you install all the prerequisites as explained on the OpenWrt Wiki?
