The above post is blog spam.

What's the best way to deal with issues like this? Sure enough line 474 has spaces instead of a tab. Also... Does this mean I should be building gargoyle as root?
This is using...

I've tried compiling OpenWRT backfire RC5 from source and got
an image that flashes, but it doesn't include the Luci interface.

Do you know how to compile that in?

I guess it's a matter of selecting it in the build process. If that fails, opkg update && opkg install luci should do the trick. You'll probably have to do /etc/init.d/uhttpd enable && /etc/init.d/uhttpd start as well.

Thats the part I was missing for Luci

Forgot to add the feeds

I have a current trunk (Build 27840) compiled for the AR71XX

I put way too many options in though, the firmware for the
WZR-HP-G300NH was about 11MB, but using kernel 2.6.39.2

Have to do some testing with wireless, but this build seems snappy!

Now to try and see if I can incorporate Gargoyle into Trunk.

-------------

Frederik - so yes, OpenWRT trunk compiles and works on the
WZR-HP-G300NH just fine. I did have to use serial to recover a
faulty flash, but that was fairly easy since I already have that setup.

The trick will be trying to get Gargoyle compiled with trunk now.

@DoesItMatter: can you spare a few keystrokes as to exactly how you've built from Git?

I suspect I might be missing something simple and obvious to others.

markc,

I've been using the SVN and building from that.

Just to try, I did a git clone and ran - make ar71xx

I see some errors reported about patches or directories not existing

I'm letting the make run and see if it will generate valid images.

Environment:

Ubuntu 10.10 - all patched up to latest
Build environment per Developer Documentation page.

It would appear it's not without challenges to build gargoyle on trunk. I managed to get it built with a few patches on r27832, but now it can't install for missing iptables-mod dependencies. Seems like iptables-mod-imq, -bandwidth, -timerange etc aren't being compiled anymore - they're missing from the iptables Makefile. I'm guessing I'll have a few more missing dependencies if & when I manage to satisfy these.

Did you get everything sorted out in the mean time?

I've been using the SVN and building from that.

Doh, of course, I should have twigged with the "trunk" reference instead of "master". I haven't used subversion for years and didn't even have it installed until I realized it was mandatory for OpenWRT.

If anyone has a Github account I'd love to get or provide pull requests to get Erics master branch to build. I'm keen to start a Github specific thread and provide some pull requests to Eric (as anyone can) as soon as I manage to get something to successfully build and install.

I realize that I'm resurrecting an older thread here, but I'm wondering if there was any success with this finally.

I'm asking because I have one of the newer WZR-HP-G300NH routers with the incompatible realtek switches that won't run backfire, but will run trunk. I really want Gargoyle on this and I've got very little experience with building packages.

Is there a working gargoyle, preferably 1.4 branch, built on OpenWRT trunk? I'm looking to get this router working!

Thanks!

I was wondering same thing. I have dir-615E3 with 1.5.3 working, but led's are not. There is a trunk on OpenWRT with led working.

Since I posted that message I managed to fix the source for backfire and build myself a working 1.5.x. Not all of my LEDs are working, but I wasn't worried about it as the router is stuck in a closet and isn't a visual centerpiece.
I'd suggest you look into what makes the LEDs work in trunk and modify the sources for 1.5.x and compile yourself a working 1.5.x. I learned a great deal through the process.
