Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

$ sudo apt install binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev gawk gcc-multilib g++-multilib flex git-core gettext libssl-dev ocaml sharutils re2c -y

And This development tools requires Python 3.6 or higher! Please use the following command to check,

$ python3 --version
Python 3.6.13

$ ls -l /usr/bin/python3*
 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.6
 /usr/bin/python3.5
 /usr/bin/python3.5-config -> x86_64-linux-gnu-python3.5-config
 /usr/bin/python3.5m
 /usr/bin/python3.5m-config -> x86_64-linux-gnu-python3.5m-config
 /usr/bin/python3.6
 /usr/bin/python3.6-config -> x86_64-linux-gnu-python3.6-config
 /usr/bin/python3.6m
 /usr/bin/python3.6m-config -> x86_64-linux-gnu-python3.6m-config
 /usr/bin/python3.9
 /usr/bin/python3.9-config -> x86_64-linux-gnu-python3.9-config
 /usr/bin/python3-config -> python3.5-config
 /usr/bin/python3m -> python3.5m

Compile OpenWrt firmware(No GL.iNet packages)

1. Run git clone https://github.com/gl-inet/gl-infra-builder.git && cd gl-infra-builder to clone repository

2. Run ls configs -hl to list the openwrt verizon

3. Chose your want version, for example, if you want to use openwrt-21.02.2, Run python3 setup.py -c configs/config-21.02.2.yml to download openwrt-21.02.2 source code

4. Run cd openwrt-21.02/openwrt-21.02.2 to enter openwrt-21.02.2 directory

5. Run ./scripts/gen_config.py list to get target_xxx and glinet_xxx files. target_xxx is you want to compile products, don't modify. glinet_xxx is you want to add/delete packages, you can modify. Those files in the profiles directory.

6. Run ./scripts/gen_config.py <target_profile> <function_profile> to chose the product target and add some packages. <target_profile> is you want to compile products. <function_profile> is you want to add/delete packages.

7. For example, If you want to compile GL-A1300 product and add luci, you can run ./scripts/gen_config.py target_ipq40xx_gl-a1300 luci. You can run make menuconfig to chose other packages

8. Run make to build your firmware.

Compile GL.iNet standard firmware

9. Base on the steps above, at openwrt-21.02/openwrt-21.02.2 directory, run git clone https://github.com/gl-inet/glinet4.x.git to get GL.iNet packages.

10. Run ./scripts/gen_config.py target_ipq40xx_gl-a1300 glinet_depends to add A1300 GL.iNet packages

11. Run make V=s -j5 GL_PKGDIR=pwd/glinet4.x/ipq40xx/ to compile GL.iNet standard firmware.

Note

1. If you gcc version is 10, you will encounter some error, like this:

/usr/bin/ld: scripts/dtc/dtc-parser.tab.o:(.bss+0x10): multiple definition of `yylloc'; scripts/dtc/dtc-lexer.lex.o:(.bss+0x0): first defined here
collect2: error：ld returned 1 exit status.

You should execute the following command to reduce the gcc version:

$ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 100
$ update-alternatives --config gcc
