Ah, here we go - you probably don't have "hexdump" installed on this
system?

Well, I didnât, but got the error, that hexdump couldnât be found. After installing it, I got the error above, and sent the message.

Removing the file `net/wireless/shipped-certs.c`, and building again, fixed the problem. So I guess, the clean-up task(?) in the build script has a problem.

I thought about doing hexdump in posix shell/awk/sed/whatever
instead... maybe I should do that.

I do not think, itâs necessary, as I got an error, that the executable is not there. No idea, if it is documented somewhere though.


Kind regards,

Paul
