LuCI website:

@LuIC developers: it would be nice to have a OpenWrt theme without the OpenWrt logo and background image smile

LuCI has nothing to do with X-Wrt webif. That's why you only checkout the packages and luci feeds with the feeds script (./scripts/feeds update packages luci).

looks like the problem was with the luci-app-statistics module - disabled that and things now build...

I just built trunk for an alix board I'm picking up. Yanira you state to build the luci stuff in "y", but the instructions I followed from

the wiki say to build them as modules?

Thanks,

M makes no sense here as they won't get included in the image then

So then everything listed as a Module should be changed?

Changes in menuconfig:
 # Network
hostapd: M
wpa-supplicant: M 
 # Kernel modules
 * Filesystems
kmod-fs-ext3: M
 * Network Devices
kmod-natsemi: N
kmod-ne2k-pci: N 
 # USB Support
kmod-usb-core: M
kmod-usb-ohci: M
kmod-usb-storage: M
kmod-usb-uhci: M
kmod-usb2: M 
 * Wireless Drivers
kmod-madwifi: M 
 # Administration
 * LuCI Components
luci-admin-full: M
luci-app-ddns: M
luci-app-firewall: M
luci-app-ntpc: M

Only what you need.
If you don't want samba, don't install it.
You don't need swap? Don't install swap-utils.
You have a Realtek network card on your router? You don't need ne2k or natsemi.
And so on...

Hi!

cp feeds.conf.default feeds.conf

edit feeds.conf, change luci url to:

src-svn luci http://svn.luci.subsignal.org/luci/trunk/contrib/package

then do:

rm -rf feeds/luci*
./scripts/feeds update luci

I'd use my own ~/trunk/feeds.conf. If feeds.conf exists it overwrites feeds.conf.default

Thanks for the guide, it is working quite well for me.

This is my interpretation of the instructions from Yanari and Jow.  It compiles ok but is it in the correct order?

cd ~/
svn checkout https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/ ~/trunk/
cd ~/trunk/
cp feeds.conf.default feeds.conf

edit feeds.conf, change luci url to:

src-svn luci http://svn.luci.subsignal.org/luci/trunk/contrib/package
rm -rf feeds/luci*
./scripts/feeds update luci
./scripts/feeds update packages luci
./scripts/feeds install -a -p luci
make menuconfig

@Yanira: I cannot choose a firewall.  I get only Openwrt Firewall

Hi yanira and all,
                      Thanks for the information u have given. I have a problem thought like u will solve.
I am using kamikaze7.09 version.Does it supports the web interface Luci, if so then which is the version necessary for it. Also is there any Makefile for the luci on openwrt.
                      Also i downloaded the current 8.01 release of kamikaze. As posted by you above i tried to update the luci package by
./scripts/feeds update packages luci
but it is not getting connected ....the error is

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/openwrt/branches/packages_8.09'
svn: PROPFIND of '/openwrt/branches/packages_8.09': could not connect to server (https://svn.openwrt.org)

Hello Yanira,

Thanks for your guide. I was able to build my first OpenWrt image flawlessly at very first try.
Could you please advise now how to remove both Luci and Uci smile and compile an image with good old /etc/* text config files instead of Windows registry-like Uci setup?
I feel it must be quite easy but I only start to understand building process.

Removing LuCI is easy, just don't select it in the first place. Getting rid of uci is harder, either learn to live with it or rewrite the init scripts to suit your needs. You can override any file by creating a files/ folder within the buildroot and put custom files there (for example files/etc/init.d/dnsmasq).

The developers put pretty much thought into the init scripts and uci integration, it's hard to just replace that. You have to redo the firewall, hotplug handling, wireless configuration, network config and switch setup. Many packages won't be compatible anymore etc. Good luck with that.

Jow, thank you for your reply. I think I have to live with uci till I gain more experience with building images.

Hi,
Seems there isnt carl9170-0.9.2.1.tar.bz2 file hosted anymore at kernel.org as shown here: http://paste.debian.net/57242/ , seems its now old packages.. replaced by 0.9.7 or 0.9.8..
But it still exist in "old" direcotry in this url http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ … /carl9170/ so the download script should be changed to look at correct url for carl9170.

Edit: Thnx to Bartman007 the file is now hosted on openwrt.org mirrors.

I have just successfully built OpenWRT backfire 10.03 with Luci following the post at the top if this topic.

So far so good. Luci is version 0.9.0

Here is my question:

- Which files do I edit to modify the GUI?

I want to edit network.lua but it seems in V0.9.0 - the files are 'compiled' binaries. I assume they are built from some source files but don't know which ones.

Any help appreciated.

Rob

it seems that nobody has working kexec-tools for mips. I have browsed the web and found no positive results. I won't try to port the kexec-tools to mips on my own, but if somebody can point me to a patchset, that is claimed to actually work, then i'll happily apply it.

For Attitude Adjustment, it appears that the menuconfig option that needs to be set is

LuCI > 1. Collections > <M> luci

(or <*> to compile into ROM image)

It doesn't make sense to me to have an option M in Menuconfig. If =M doesn't store the module in the flash, what's the point?  The compiled package isn't going to go anywhere useful to the router, and you're likely then to download, install and configure the module(s) from the internet via the OPKG utility anyway.  OK, I suppose you could be sourcing the packages locally, in which you would need them compiled, but I am sure not many of us are doing that.

Based on my exploration into the Westell 7500 sourcecode, =y meant module was bound within the kernel Built-in, =M meant it was not bound within the kernel built-in but rather an external module stored in the filesystem on the flash, making it available to be loaded manually or by script.
By the way I suspect this is why the resulting compile of the Westell sourcecode caused the system to watchdog reset every 60 seconds: the config option flag was misspelled in the Make for Watchdog, causing it to default to =y when it was supposed to be compiled as an external module).

Hi All,

I am trying to compile Luci in my OpenWRT distibution [Attitude Adjustment ]. However, I am stuck at the very first step of it.

I have used following command,
$ ./scripts/feeds update packages luci

and I am getting following error message,
$ ./scripts/feeds update packages luci
Updating feed 'packages' from 'svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/packages_12.09' ...
Updating '.':
At revision 42306.

$

Am I doing any mistake? Could anyone help me in this respect.

Thanks in advance.
