Compiling Gargoyle for PC Engines Wrap, Alix and Ath5k
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2022 5:52 am
by errikos
Hello,
I have a PC Engines Alix routerboard, a PC Engines Wrap routerboard and several Winstron CM9 and CM6 boards (Main Chipset Atheros AR5212, AR5111, AR2111)
I managed to install and boot gargoyle_1.13.0-x86-geode-combined-squashfs
root@Gargoyle:~# uname -a
Linux Gargoyle 4.14.261 #0 Thu Jan 6 14:31:19 2022 i586 GNU/Linux
but the wifi cards are not recognized and kmod-ath5k package is not available for installation.
When I installed latest OpenWRT and package kmod-ath5k they were recognized, however I prefer Gargoyle interface.
What is the easiest way to make these cards and the routerboard work with gargoyle?
1)Download the packages?
2)Download newest Gargoyle?
3)Compile and install newest gargoyle?
4)Compile and install all packages needed to recognize the cards?
For 1 and 2 I have not found anything ready made for x86 geode.
For 3 and 4 while I am comfortable with console I need a bit of assistance / how to compile.
Thank you!!

Combination of 3 & 4. Compile with the required packages pre installed.
Start with an unmodified x86 build

You can’t build as root.
Kill your build environment and start again as a non root user is a folder that the regular user has permissions for.

Ok! Compilation is running severa hours now.
What are the next steps when it is finished?!

That doesn't show enough of the error.
Please run

The successfully compiled images are in the "images" folder in the gargoyle folder.

so, these images contain the packages that are required by CM6 and CM9 ? (I think its kmod-ath5k)

Well what step are you up to? Did you just do a compile of the default x86.alix to test that your build environment is good?
The next step is to customise it to include the necessary drivers, then build it again.
