Remove stime backport. Remove static libgcc patch as upstream fixed it with BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_STATIC_LIBGCC which defauls to off. Remove date -k patch as it no longer applies. It's also pointless as busybox' hwclock utility can do the same thing. Remove ntpd patch as that seems to have been applied upstream. Add smalll patch fixing compilation with SELinux. Upstream commit 2496616b0a8d1c80cd1416b73a4847b59b9f969a renamed the variable without renaming it in the SELinux path. Refresh config and patches. Config refresh: Refresh commands, run after busybox is first built once: cd package/utils/busybox/config/ ../convert_menuconfig.pl ../../../../build_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/busybox-default/busybox-1.33.0 cd .. ./convert_defaults.pl < ../../../build_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/busybox-default/busybox-1.33.0/.config > Config-defaults.in Manual edits needed afterward: * Config-defaults.in: OpenWrt config symbol IPV6 logic applied to BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_IPV6 * Config-defaults.in: OpenWrt configTARGET_bcm53xx logic applied to BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_TRUNCATE (commit 547f1ec) * editors/Config.in: Add USE_GLIBC dependency to BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_VI_REGEX_SEARCH (commit f141090) * shell/Config.in : change at "Options common to all shells" the symbol SHELL_ASH --> BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SHELL_ASH (discussion in http://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2021-January/033140.html Apparently our script does not see the hidden option while prepending config options with "BUSYBOX_CONFIG_" which leads to a missed dependency when the options are later evaluated.) * Edit Config.in files by adding quotes to sourced items in config/Config.in, networking/Config.in and util-linux/Config.in (commit 1da014f) Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> [Added comments from Hannu Nyman to commit message] Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>
OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev rsync
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
