Most of the time, we want to make sure OpenWrt has been configured and setup before start running make. However, in case of package/symlinks, forcing prereq as a dependency creates multiple issues: *when executed on a clean workspace, it will prompt for user input and open a menuconfig window before executing the feeds command *the only way around that is to provide a .config. However, the "prereq" target would then run a "make defconfig", which will remove all the packages in the .config but from external feeds, as feeds have not been installed yet. The only way to currently work around this, is to generate a fake config by running "make defconfig", then "make package/symlinks", copy the real config (which at this point disregards the previously generated config), and run make defconfig again. Something like this: make defconfig make package/symlinks cp real.config .config make defconfig This change is removing the need for the first defconfig, making the process more logical for OpenWrt users using the package/symlinks target.

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution. Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated configuration for the toolchain and firmware. You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into package/feeds/. Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image. Simply running "make" will build your firmware. It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications. You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded system via tftp. The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it. To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system. Sunshine! Your OpenWrt Project http://openwrt.org
