Gargoyle portability

Post by nixnoob »

This is not specifically about "DoesItMatter"s router, but is it possible to cross compile gargoyle for an intel chipset running a mini pci atheros?
If so what are some key tools I would require to get the job done? (so I can research and learn them)

I say 'cross' compile because im guessing I cannot compile actually on a device running openWRT.

I don't mind how general the advice is but I just need a kick in the right direction to take the next step. I am extremely new to linux but am willing to learn.

Thanks in advance..

EDIT: Just for some context on what I am trying to get done.
Using Netgear WG302 v1 (intel XScale Ixp4xx/ mini pci atheros) for home wifi.
Successfully deployed openWRT Kamikaze 08.09.
I was then progressing my way through the install guide for Gargoyle but came to a halt after being unable to install some packages..
(opkg install haserl-dev
opkg install qos-gargoyle
opkg install ddns-gargoyle
opkg install httpd-gargoyle
opkg install bwmon-gargoyle
opkg install gargoyle)

Error: * Packages were found, but none compatible with the arhitectures configured

There is..
haserl (0.9.24-1) at http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8 ... s/Packages
But is this version an acceptable replacement for the prescribed..
haserl-dev (0.9.24-3) at http://gargoyle-router.com/packages/kam ... 6/Packages
?

The other packages are obviously Gargoyle specific and are not part of the pre compiled Kamikaze packages @ openWRT.

All the Kamikaze (ixp4xx) packages use Architecture 'armeb'. Do I have to compile the missing packages for 'armeb' or will the router accept some sort of force feeding the Gargoyle 'mips' code?
