will clean the entire tree, so the toolchain will be rebuilt as well, which is
not necessary in most cases, and will take a while.
So in summary, to update and rebuild a Gluon build tree, the following commands should be used (repeat the
``make clean`` and ``make`` for all targets you want to build):
::
git pull
(cd site && git pull)
make update
make clean GLUON_TARGET=ar71xx-generic

Gluon's build process can be controlled by various variables. They can
usually be set on the command line or in ``site.mk``.
GLUON_SITEDIR
Path to the site configuration. Defaults to ``site``.
GLUON_BUILDDIR
Working directory during build. Defaults to ``build``.
GLUON_OPKG_KEY
Path key file used to sign the module opkg repository. Defaults to ``$(GLUON_BULDDIR)/gluon-opkg-key``.
The private key will be stored as ``$(GLUON_OPKG_KEY)``, the public key as ``$(GLUON_OPKG_KEY).pub``.
GLUON_OUTPUTDIR
Path where output files will be stored. Defaults to ``output``.
GLUON_IMAGEDIR
Path where images will be stored. Defaults to ``$(GLUON_OUTPUTDIR)/images``.
GLUON_MODULEDIR
Path where the kernel module opkg repository will be stored. Defaults to ``$(GLUON_OUTPUTDIR)/modules``.

@ -187,14 +181,51 @@ GLUON_ATH10K_MESH
Setting GLUON_ATH10K_MESH to ``11s`` or ``ibss`` will enable generation of images for ath10k devices
and install the firmware for the corresponding WLAN mode.
GLUON_BRANCH
Sets the default branch of the autoupdater. If unset, the autoupdater is disabled
by default. For the ``make manifest`` command, GLUON_BRANCH defines the branch to
generate a manifest for.
So all in all, to update and rebuild a Gluon build tree, the following commands should be used (repeat the
``make clean`` and ``make`` for all targets you want to build):
GLUON_LANGS
Space-separated list of languages to include for the config mode/advanced settings. Defaults to ``en``.
``en`` should always be included, other supported languages are ``de`` and ``fr``.
::
GLUON_PRIORITY
Defines the priority of an automatic update in ``make manifest``. See :doc:`../features/autoupdater` for
a detailed description of this value.
git pull
(cd site && git pull)
make update
make clean GLUON_TARGET=ar71xx-generic
make GLUON_TARGET=ar71xx-generic
GLUON_REGION
Some devices (at the moment the TP-Link Archer C7) contain a region code that restricts
firmware installations. Set GLUON_REGION to ``eu`` or ``us`` to make the resulting
images installable from the respective stock firmwares.
GLUON_RELEASE
Firmware release number: This string is displayed in the config mode, announced
via respondd/alfred and used by the autoupdater to decide if a newer version
is available.
GLUON_TARGET
Target architecture to build.
