Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

$ sudo apt install binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev gawk gcc-multilib g++-multilib flex git-core gettext libssl-dev ocaml sharutils re2c -y

And This development tools requires Python 3.6 or higher! Please use the following command to check,

$ python3 --version
Python 3.6.13

$ ls -l /usr/bin/python3*
 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.6
 /usr/bin/python3.5
 /usr/bin/python3.5-config -> x86_64-linux-gnu-python3.5-config
 /usr/bin/python3.5m
 /usr/bin/python3.5m-config -> x86_64-linux-gnu-python3.5m-config
 /usr/bin/python3.6
 /usr/bin/python3.6-config -> x86_64-linux-gnu-python3.6-config
 /usr/bin/python3.6m
 /usr/bin/python3.6m-config -> x86_64-linux-gnu-python3.6m-config
 /usr/bin/python3.9
 /usr/bin/python3.9-config -> x86_64-linux-gnu-python3.9-config
 /usr/bin/python3-config -> python3.5-config
 /usr/bin/python3m -> python3.5m
 /usr/bin/python3m-config -> python3.5m-config

Quickstart

1. Clone repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/gl-inet/gl-infra-builder.git

$ cd gl-infra-builder

2. If you have a offline dl folder and corresponding packages, you can make a symlink to feeds/dl (assuming the dl location is /data/dl), it will make compilation easier. If there is no dl and corresponding packages, ignore this command.

$ ln -sf /data/dl feeds/

3. Setup, the command will auto download openwrt-19.07.7 by default and auto config, and then patch all the the GL product Patches

$ python3 setup.py
$ cd openwrt-19.07/openwrt-19.07.7/

Note: If you want to use different branch, please use the -c parameter, for example. If you want to use 18.06

$ python3 setup.py -c config-18.x.yml
$ cd openwrt-18.06

4. Generate your target configuration. (For the following content, we will continue to take 19.07 as an example)

$ ./scripts/gen_config.py list		# show available profile
$ ./scripts/gen_config.py <target_profile> <function_profile>

Note: excute ./scripts/gen_config.py list command, you can get Target Profiles and Function Profiles. Target Profiles is you want to compile products, don't modify. Function Profiles is you want to add/delete packages, you can modify. Those files in the profiles directory.

For example, If you want to compile GL-AR150 product you can use command:

$ ./scripts/gen_config.py target_ar71xx_gl-ar150

If you want to compile GL-AR150 product and add some packages, you can excute make menuconfig to chose the product and other packages.

5. Run make to build your firmware.

Note: If you gcc version is 10, you will encounter some error, like this:

/usr/bin/ld: scripts/dtc/dtc-parser.tab.o:(.bss+0x10): multiple definition of `yylloc'; scripts/dtc/dtc-lexer.lex.o:(.bss+0x0): first defined here
collect2: error：ld returned 1 exit status.

You should execute the following command to reduce the gcc version:

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 100
update-alternatives --config gcc
