Hi, I'm trying to compile an openwrt firmware with the buildroots that are specified in the openwrt home page, but without luck.
I have already downloaded the linksys sources version 2.02.7 and put them into the sources/dl directory. Also I modified the /make/openwrt.mk to indicate that version of linksys tarball.
When I do "make" the patches can't be applied.
-openwrt-wrt54g-router.patch fails in the src/router/nvram/nvram_linux.c file.
-openwrt-wrt54g-netfilter.patch fails in the src/linux/linux.stock/net/ipv6/mcast.c file.

I didn't continue trying to solve the problems because I imagine there are a lots of errors. So I ask for help. I have the wrt54g v1.1 and the linksys sources wrt54g.2.02.7.tgz.
If somebody can help me I will thanks a lot.

Does anybody have a solution to my problem?

Hello!

I thing I have the same problem. I use the version
from cvs.
I got the following output:

make: *** [/home/michael/Software/Linksys/openwrt/buildroot/build_mipsel/WRT54G/.prepared] Error 1

Could anybody help me?

Thanks in advance

cheers

I think that the patches were made for the Linksys source wrt54gs.2.07.1.tgz and I have the ver. wrt54gv2_2.00.8.tgz. That's why I got errors in the patching process. I solved this probles patching "by hand" the files that that the patch specified. In fact I just only apllied the openwrt-linux-patch to make the openwrt partition work. So I made my own firmware based in openwrt to have a read-write partition. That was what I looked for.

Hi
Are the patches only made for wrt54gs?
How can I change this. I red on the homepage:

The openwrt-g-code.bin is for the WRT54G, openwrt-gs-code.bin is for the WRT54GS (speedbooster).

It seems to be that in the "Getting started description"
the installation procedure is not completely described.
I changed some values in make/openwrt.mk:

WRT54G_SOURCE=wrt54g.2.02.7.tgz
WRT54G_SITE=http://www.linksys.com/support/opensourcecode/wrt54gv2/2.02.7
WRT54G_DIR=$(BUILD_DIR)/WRT54G
#WRT54G_DIR=$(BUILD_DIR)/WRT54GS

Maybe I have change other configuration files to get openwrt
up and running. I already try to patch the files by hand, but
after that other patches went wrong.

Please help me !

thanks

Michael

I get stuck here:

Applying /usr/src/openwrt/buildroot/sources/uClibc-sigaction.patch using plaintext:

This is after I got this error message:

I edited buildroot/make/uclibc.mk to get it's snapshot like so:

On the whole I'm finding the make procedure for compiling OpenWRT VERY VERY VERY frustrating at this point.  It seems that when I fix one thing, another problem pops up - is there someplace I can look to find out a complete list of which tarballs I should download and where I should save or untar them to?  I'm quite sick and tired of having to guess at fixes for compilation errors.  I tried using CVS and that doesn't seem to work either.

tradeoff we get to have the newest packages :-(

Because it uses links from other packages and many are also 'latest' experimental ones, it will continue to break like this.

Hopefully, it will stablize to 'released' version of packages and that upstreams don't remove them at will.

to compile cvs

1. update the main Makefile (the one at the root level of the buildroot) so that SNAPSHOT is defined as something recent.  i just used 091304 and it compiled with no problem.

2. comment out this line from make/uclibc.mk

$(SOURCE_DIR)/patch-kernel.sh $(UCLIBC_DIR) $(SOURCE_DIR) uClibc-sigaction.patch

Thank you very much Sam, I did that and it worked like a treat.  Now to get on with some real dev work.
