Hi guys, recently i've moved to DD-WRT to OpenWRT and i must admit, i really like it. I've failed to activate IPV6 on DD-WRT but with OpenWRT it works like charm.
Anyway, atm i'm using OpenWrt Backfire 10.03.1 and it's ok. Still, i wanted to compile my own image fw from the trunk to be up-to-date. Now the problems arise...
I've used the informations from :http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence, to get the latest trunk sources... all went fine. Latest trunk is #31059.
I launch make menuconfig,
I modify only Target System and Target Profile, like in the pic. I also add radvd / wide-dhcpv6-client / kmod-ipv6 / LuCI. These i want to be build into the image. After all this, i've saved and exited OpenWRT menuconfig. On the exit, i've seen the below warnings in the console:
[ionut@localhost trunk]$ make menuconfig
tmp/.config-package.in:14822:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'PACKAGE_deluge-ui-gtk' refer to undefined symbol 'PACKAGE_python-gtk'

# using defaults found in .config... typed MAKE.. and after 1h30m, the image was built. Installed on my router the default Linksys firmware and tried to upgrade to my new compiled FW, named: openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wrt160nl-squashfs-factory.bin. I had no luck, it gave me an error like, Upgrade failed. I said ok, let's try another aproach.
I've upgraded my router to OpenWrt Backfire 10.03.1, then tried to install my compiled openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wrt160nl-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin. This time the upgrade process was ok but after the reboot, my router won't boot anymore..... That's not the problem, i've managed to revive him with "tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT code.bin" ( with latest Linksys FW ).
My question is, why my compiled img didnt want to boot? What i did wrong?
Thanks in advance.
PS: Sorry for the wall of text...
PPS: I've tried to compile the OpenWRT, on two different linux destros ( openSUSE 12.1, Fedora 16 ), same results...
