[Discussion] Building McDebian #30

Closed BoxcarFields closed 6 years ago

BoxcarFields commented 7 years ago

Hi @Chadster766

I wish to build McDebian from source. What packages do I need on my PC for the build environment (beyond build-essential)? The reason behind doing this is my need to stay bleeding edge: keeping McDebian on the WRT1900ACv1 aligned to Debian mainline with latest package updates, etc (including keeping up with the latest kernel). I wish to do weekly builds. I can also help contribute back into McDebian.

I did see your build notes, but I couldn't interpret them enough to do a step by step reproduction at my end. Your help would be truly appreciated!

[edit] I also want to try building Ubuntu. I've reached out to cilix-lab for that.

Hi, I have made script to help compiling. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jbsky/Debian-On-WRT1900AC-V1/master/kernel/mkKNLWRT1900AC Change only the .config file to the root directory. Maybe @Chadster766 can help provide an updated .config if you like.

BoxcarFields commented 7 years ago

Sweet. Thank you, @jbsky ! I will give this a spin. @Chadster766 , how do I generate the .config?

jbsky commented 7 years ago

This script automatically downloads my .config and applies fixes specifically for the V1. After studying the process of creating the firmware through this script, you can try the .config Chadster.

Got it. I will do that. Thank you, @jbsky

Chadster766 commented 7 years ago

Thanks @jbsky for providing more info to @sid8tive

@jbsky Your script worked flawlessly. I just finished building kernel 4.11.9 and the rootfs using debian stretch. need to now test it. Somehow I wasn't able to build 4.12.3 due to a gpio function error during compile time.
