   1 This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.

   3 Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated
   4 configuration for the toolchain and firmware.

   6 You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl
   7 make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, libz-dev and libc headers.

   9 Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
  10 defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
  11 and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
  12 package/feeds/.
  13
  14 Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.
  15
  16 Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
  17 It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain,
  18 the kernel and all choosen applications.
  19
  20 You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded
  21 system via tftp.
  22
  23 The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution
  24 and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it.
  25
  26 To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
  27 (case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
  28 the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
