===============
|
|
|
|
To build Gluon, after checking out the repository change to the source root directory
|
|
to perform the following commands:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/freifunk-gluon/site-ffhl.git site # Get the Freifunk Lübeck site repository - or use your own!
|
|
make update # Get other repositories used by Gluon
|
|
make # Build Gluon
|
|
|
|
When calling make, the OpenWRT build environment is prepared/updated. To rebuild
|
|
the images only, just use:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
make images
|
|
|
|
The built images can be found in the directory `images`. Of these, the factory
|
|
images are to be used when flashing from the original firmware a device came with,
|
|
and sysupgrade is to upgrade from other versions of Gluon or any other OpenWRT-based
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
For the build reserve 6GB of disk space. The build requires packages
|
|
for `subversion`, ncurses headers (`libncurses-dev`) and zlib headers
|
|
(`libz-dev`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two levels of `make clean`:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
make clean
|
|
|
|
will ensure all packages are rebuilt; this is what you normally want to do after an update.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
make dirclean
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Environment variables
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Gluon's build process can be controlled by various environment variables.
|
|
|
|
GLUON_SITEDIR
|
|
Path to the site configuration. Defaults to ``site/``.
|
|
|
|
GLUON_IMAGEDIR
|
|
Path where images will be stored. Defaults to ``images/``.
|
|
|
|
GLUON_BUILDDIR
|
|
Working directory during build. Defaults to ``build/``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
So all in all, to update and rebuild a Gluon build tree, the following commands should be used:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
git pull
|
|
(cd site && git pull)
|
|
make update
|
|
make clean
|
|
make
|
