Hey Lantis,
I just noticed your note above about "rejecting" this request.
According to the link:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrv54g
This router has 8MB of Flash and 32 MB Ram
I am still very much interested in a Gargoyle firmware for this router if you are willing to build one for me. (Please?)

That should say "too slow".
CPU Speed: 266 Mhz
It's not worth the 6 hours of processor time to build sorry mate.
You should put openwrt on it if you are after third party firmware capabilities. But nothing on Gargoyle is going to run very well at all.
Otherwise, definitely consider doing the build yourself. It isn't that hard at all! I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

In that case,
As I am new to building images, what is the best way to start. I have some spare computers lying around ranging from Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, i5 and i7.
currently running from Windows XP to Windows 10
I can use the currently installed Windows OS or install a new OS?
Any suggestions is appreciated and welcomed.
Then a "How To" build images would be helpful. I can then assist in building from a dedicated box and putting the images up for torrent distribution.

I would suggest loading Ubuntu on one of those layabout PCs.
The build instructions are in the doco.
https://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/do ... umentation
Basically you load some software (git and other dependencies)
Code: Select all
apt-get install git build-essential asciidoc binutils bzip2 gawk gettext git libncurses5-dev libz-dev patch unzip zlib1g-dev lib32gcc1 libc6-dev-i386 subversion flex uglifyjs git-core gcc-multilib p7zip p7zip-full msmtp libssl-dev texinfo
Get a copy of the Gargoyle code
Code: Select all
git clone https://github.com/ericpaulbishop/gargoyle.git
Build Gargoyle (download and crunches for a few hours)
Thats it!

Thanks very much, I will try to follow the instructions as best as I can.
When I build the ubuntu server I will continue and build the images as needed.
Thanks a bunch again!!!

===================================================================
I have a couple of GL.iNet 6416A routers that I use as repeaters for my home net, I already have 1.7.1 installed on them. I'd be willing to slap a copy of 1.9.x onto one & give it a test drive, I'd even be sure to run most traffic through the new install to give it a workout; plus report any bugs back to you...
Thanks in advance
Router Model: GLI GL.iNet 6416A
Link to Openwrt wiki:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/gl-inet/gl-inet_64xx
Is it supported in Openwrt? Yes
Does it have >= 4MB of flash? Yes
Does it have >= 8MB of flash? Yes
Does it have USB support? Yes
Notes from Lantis:
Accepted
Got the file, installed, configured & have been cruising the net for the last couple hours on the new 1.9.X. Amazing going from a request to an install in 3 hours, Thanks for the fast compile!
EDIT 3-3-2016:
I've managed to run a few PB through this by looping a large file transfer through the router for a couple of weeks, while browsing, running a Tor node, BOINC, etc...
So far no problems, didn't expect any in the first place with Gargoyles reputation, Now I just have to buy a couple more routers, then do some roll outs for a couple of family & some friends that are computer illiterati...
