Hi
I have a source code come as a Makefile + src folder  and want to convert into ipk so that I can install in openwrt.
I used
./configure
make
make install
It did not work. I am not sure I am doing right thing or not.

Thanks

This creating packages doc will hopefully guide you through on how to package a software source for OpenWRT.

Thanks for the link. I have gone through it before  I raise the help.
Newbie like me don't understand. I thought there might be simpler way to do it for layman like me.

Thanks.

If you don't understand, then perhaps you may want to start from scratch reading all the HowTos.

BTW, what software package are you trying to package?

The link you provided is a ser2net software package that has already been ported to OpenWRT.

Hi
I think you overlook the difference. The one ported to OpenWrt is ser2net which did not support multi connection.
Whereas ser2nets is not ported yet and support multi connection, it claim.
Perhaps, someone help to port to OpenWrt.

Thanks.

The discussion might have continued from here.
