Hi,

I made a small package and wanted to give it a try:

git clone git://git.openwrt.org/14.07/openwrt.git
cd openwrt

./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a

#I copy my package into ./package/ at this point

make defconfig
make menuconfig

The problem now is that the package does not show up in the menu.
When I try the search (type / and enter the search term), then it shows up.
But still, it is not listed in the menu or mentioned in the .config file.

I deleted ./tmp/ and did "make defconfig" - no change.

Is there anything I can try?

Here is the Makefile of the package:

include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk

PKG_NAME:=foobar
PKG_VERSION:=1.0
PKG_RELEASE:=1
PKG_LICENSE:=GPL-3.0

include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk

define Package/foobar
  SECTION:=net
  CATEGORY:=Network
  DEPENDS:=+libpthread +libssp
  TITLE:=Open Foo
  URL:=https://github.com/foobar/foobar
  SUBMENU:=VPN
endef

define Package/foobar/description
    foobar
endef

define Build/Prepare
    mkdir -p $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)
    $(CP) ./src/* $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/
endef

define Package/foobar/install
    $(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/usr/bin
    $(INSTALL_BIN) $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/foobar $(1)/usr/bin/
endef

$(eval $(call BuildPackage,foobar))

Please copy&paste what you can see then. I expect you to provide something like

  │ Symbol: PACKAGE_foobar [=n]
  │ Type  : tristate
  │ Prompt: foobar.......................................................... Open Foo
  │   Location:
  │     -> Network
  │ (1)   -> VPN
  │   Defined at tmp/.config-package.in:14463
  │   Depends on: SSP_SUPPORT [=n]
  │   Selects: PACKAGE_libpthread [=n] && PACKAGE_libssp [=n] && PACKAGE_libc [=y] && PACKAGE_librt [=n] && PACKAGE_libpthread [=n]

@Zajec: here you go:

  │ Symbol: PACKAGE_foobar [=n]
  │ Type  : tristate
  │ Prompt: foobar.......................................................... Open Foo
  │   Defined at tmp/.config-package.in:44590
  │   Depends on: SSP_SUPPORT [=n] 
  │   Location:
  │     -> Network
  │ (1)   -> VPN
  │   Selects: PACKAGE_libc [=y] && PACKAGE_libssp [=n] && PACKAGE_librt [=n] && PACKAGE_libpthread [=n] && PACKAGE_libpthread [=n]
  │ 
  │
  │ Symbol: DEFAULT_foobar [=DEFAULT_foobar]
  │ Type  : unknown

Still, the package is not listed in Network => VPN.
Can you verify this observation?

If it depends on SSP_SUPPORT and that is "n", then the item is not visible in the menu.
Does libssp require that symbol, or something like that?

I am not sure I understand correctly.

Package foobar depends on libpthread and libssp, so I thought that both will be selected when the package (foobar) is selected.
The wiki seems to agree with me:

 +<foo>     Package will depend on package <foo> and will select it when selected.

Ah, I think I understand. libssp needs SSP_SUPPORT, otherwise libssp is not visible and therefor package foobar is not visible. Right?

The discussion might have continued from here.
