Topic: What is ImageBuilder?

The content of this topic has been archived on 22 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello,

I am trying to prepare OpenWrt for use with USB Flash drive. I follow instructions and there is a step:

make clean image PACKAGES=....

Here I get "make: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop."

I read about some ImageBuilder and I am not sure is it included in my system. Is it necessary to compile the kernel to have this? I got precompiled 2.4 kernel. It is very hard to look for information at every step - I read some "how to" and every time there is something missing and mentioned with 1 word (or less)...

The ImageBuilder is a mess. Use the build-system.

The discussion might have continued from here.
