Questions about building

[Lantis]

Not sure what went wrong mate.

were you doing anything else special at the make custom screen?
I can try and do a build and see where it gets to.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I had a quick question about what is required to build for a router not officially supported by gargoyle but is supported by OpenWRT?

One in question is a WDR-3500v1 and my build finished successfully but I want to verify if there was more I should have done before generating a plausible test image.

All I did was add the line

-tl-wdr3500-v1-squashfs

to /targets/ar71xx/profiles/usb/profile_images

and the lines

"tl-wdr3500-v1-squashfs-factory.bin",
"tl-wdr3500-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin",

to /dev-utils/gen-js.pl

bump the version of dosfstools with commands

grep -i -rl 'dosfstools' | xargs sed -i -e 's/3.0.27/3.0.28/g'

grep -i -rl '2e31e7bdf92998e41ed17de505a4a552' | xargs sed -i -e 's/2e31e7bdf92998e41ed17de505a4a552/64e3b3a59b51d2a97d7ac38b23a124bb/g'

and finally run the command

make -j6 FULL_BUILD=true ar71xx.usb

But I'm skeptical this was enough to generate the right image for my WDR-3500.

that sounds perfectly fine to me

It keeps failing at the same exact spot and my image is not being generated.

Anyway I think the problem is different, since a lot of models are actually failing with the next error:

Code: Select all

[mktplinkfw] *** error: images are too big
Makefile:2153: recipe for target 'install' failed

What exactly can be done? I should remove packages? What packages? Last time I built Gargoyle myself it didn't even come with wireless-tools because they didn't fit. Now what is there to be removed?

Also I can't do "make custom" anymore, it does not even show me the "make menuconfig" menu, it just builds. How do I get to that configuration menu again without rebuilding for the umpteenth time?
