OpenWRT / LEDE: Websockets support not available for mosquitto

I'm trying to run mosquitto with config:

listener 1884
listener 9001
protocol websockets

I get an error:

Error: Websockets support not available.

I'm running mosquitto version 1.4.14, I also have a libwebsockets-full (2.4.1-2) installed. I thought I could get the source and compile it with WITH_WEBSOCKETS:=yes set in confik.mk (solution found in one of answers in similar problem) but on my router I don't have enaugh space to install gcc ;)

I'm running LEDE Reboot (SNAPSHOT, r5392-bc50a97).

Any ideas of how can I enable websockets for mosquitto on my device?

Solution

  • If the pre-built version doesn't have websockets enabled and you don't have room to install the build tools to rebuild it on the device then your only option is to follow the openwrt cross compile instructions and build it on a different machine then copy the binaries/package over to the router.
