How to Compile

1. Install a Linux distribution, Debian 11 or Ubuntu LTS is recommended.

2. Install dependencies:

   sudo apt update -y
   sudo apt full-upgrade -y
   sudo apt install -y ack antlr3 asciidoc autoconf automake autopoint binutils bison build-essential \
   bzip2 ccache cmake cpio curl device-tree-compiler fastjar flex gawk gettext gcc-multilib g++-multilib \
   git gperf haveged help2man intltool libc6-dev-i386 libelf-dev libglib2.0-dev libgmp3-dev libltdl-dev \
   libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev libreadline-dev libssl-dev libtool lrzsz \
   mkisofs msmtp nano ninja-build p7zip p7zip-full patch pkgconf python2.7 python3 python3-pyelftools \
   libpython3-dev qemu-utils rsync scons squashfs-tools subversion swig texinfo uglifyjs upx-ucl unzip \
   vim wget xmlto xxd zlib1g-dev python3-setuptools
   

3. Clone the source code, update feeds and configure:

   git clone https://github.com/coolsnowwolf/lede
   cd lede
   ./scripts/feeds update -a
   ./scripts/feeds install -a
   make menuconfig
   

4. Download libraries and compile firmware

   (-j is the thread count, single-thread is recommended for the first build):

   make -j8 download V=s
   make -j1 V=s
   

These commands are supposed to compile the source code successfully. All source code of R23 is included, including IPK.

You can use this source code freely, but please link this GitHub repository when redistributing. Thank you for your cooperation!

Rebuild:

cd lede
git pull
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make defconfig
make download -j8
make V=s -j$(nproc)

If reconfiguration is need:

rm -rf ./tmp && rm -rf .config
make menuconfig
make V=s -j$(nproc)

Build artifacts will be outputted to bin/targets directory.

If you are using WSL/WSL2 as your build environment

WSL's PATH potentially contain Windows paths with spaces, which may cause compilation failure. Please add the following lines to your local environment profiles before compiling:

# Update and reload your profile, ~/.bashrc for example.
cat << EOF >> ~/.bashrc
export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:$PATH"
EOF
source ~/.bashrc

NTFS-formatted drives mounted to a WSL distribution will be case-insensitive by default. This will cause the following error when compiling in WSL/WSL2:

Build dependency: OpenWrt can only be built on a case-sensitive filesystem 

A simple solution is to create a case-sensitive directory for the repository before git clone:

# Open a terminal as administrator
PS > fsutil.exe file setCaseSensitiveInfo <your_local_lede_path> enable
# Clone this repository to the case-sensitive directory <your_local_lede_path>
PS > git clone git@github.com:coolsnowwolf/lede.git <your_local_lede_path>

For directories that have already been git cloned, fsutil.exe will not take effect. Case sensitivity will only be enabled for new changes in the directory.

macOS Compilation

1. Install Xcode from AppStore
2. Install Homebrew:

   /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   

3. Install toolchain, dependencies and packages with Homebrew:

   brew unlink awk
   brew install coreutils diffutils findutils gawk gnu-getopt gnu-tar grep make ncurses pkg-config wget quilt xz
   brew install gcc@11
   

4. Update your system environment:

   echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
   echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/findutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
   echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-getopt/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
   echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-tar/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
   echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/grep/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
   echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
   echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/make/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
   

5. Reload your shell profile source ~/.bashrc && bash, then you can compile normally like Linux.
