-You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl
-make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, libz-dev and libc headers.
-
-Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
-defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
-and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
-package/feeds/.
+This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.
-Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.
+To build your own firmware you need a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case
+sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack
+of a case sensitive file system.
-Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
-It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain,
-the kernel and all choosen applications.
+You need gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff,
+unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers installed.
-You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded
-system via tftp.
+1. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to obtain all the latest package definitions
+defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default
-The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution
-and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it.
+2. Run "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks for all obtained
+packages into package/feeds/
-To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
-(case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
-the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
+3. Run "make menuconfig" to select your preferred configuration for the
+toolchain, target system & firmware packages.
+4. Run "make" to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build
+the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the Linux kernel & all
+chosen applications for your target system.
