Build gargoyle from source

[aha2940]

Hi!

I recently installed OpenWRT SVN on a 3Com router (this is my thread: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=37120). I had to compile OpenWRT from source (and use SVN version) because with latest stable the wireless wouldn't work. Unfortunately, I am stuck with no web management interface. I am thinking of compiling Gargoyle and installing it, but I have some questions:

1. Where can I find documentation on how to compile Gargoyle from source?
2. Will Gargoyle work with OpenWRT SVN (Attitude Adjustment)? has it been tested?

Thanks for any help with this and best regards,

Germán

The download page shows how to compile Gargoyle from source.

BUT, Gargoyle is based on OpenWRT Backfire branch and will not work with the trunk release you are using.

Thanks for the reply, pbix. Do you think it will bee too difficult to make Gargoyle work in OpenWRT trunk? I am not a developer myself, but I understand some C, C++, Java, shell code, etc. and I can solve some problems if they appear. Also, I looked for the compilation instructions in the download page and I didn't find them. There are links to download the code from Git, but I see nothing about how to create the cross-compiling environment (which I assume is required), choosing the modules to compile, etc. I was hoping for something like the compilation guide provided by OpenWRT: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build

Best regards,

Germán

I met the same issue with you now, and my openwrt source code is 12.09 attidude adjustment as well.

I modified the feeds.conf.default and add the below code in it. then we can seed gargoyle relevant menu.

src-git gargoyle http://xxxx.xx.xxx/gargoyle.git

just the github.com 's source link.

I am trying to reach my target now, please keep contact with me, I need more hints.thanks

Current Gargoyle source cannot be built from inside OpenWrt. It cannot be built by adding it to the feeds config file. You have to build Gargoyle using the included build script.

I tried once to change the line "rnum = 36xxx" in build.sh to the latest build number in Openwrt trunk. It built fine for me at that time but I didn't test too much. (I tried to solve an unrelated problem but it was solved otherwise.) I also found someway to do menuconfig after the first building using "make custom" and these approaches work fine so far as I posted elsewhere. Not sure if there will be any pitfall though.
