'''SOLUTION for the below:''' (from: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/use-buildsystem ):

* ...CD to the SCRIPTS Directory from the "GIT Cloned" version of OpenWRT

** ./feeds update -a

** ./feeds install -a

...all fixed. Naturally installing 'feeds' solves the issue of missing dependencies, etc.

Here's a stupid error that makes complete sense, yet shouldn't even exist in this situation: Makefile 'package/linux/Makefile' has a dependency on 'kmod-phy-bcm-ns-usb2', which does not exist

Line 288:

And if one is looking for the OpenSSL package, it is of course intuitively named openssl-util. And following that very clear path, the Makefile file for openssl is located in /feeds/base/package/libs/openssl

git clone -b openwrt-19.07 <nowiki>https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git</nowiki> /root/openwrtSDK.Manual: Copies the 19.07 (IE, the lateversion of files from the OpenWRT sources at GitHub

staging_dir/host: Seems to contain x86_64 files that are "translated" to other platforms

Another observation that seems a bit obvious, but isn't really explicitly stated anywhere is that the "make menuconfig" "script" settings apply only in certain circumstances. For instance, when using the above make... ...toolchain/config command, there were no packages compiled and put into a bin directory. As a test, selected the openssl package (which includes libssl) to be created as a modular package. And it wasn't created, nor should it have been.
