   1 This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.
   2
   3 Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated
   4 configuration for the toolchain and firmware.
   5
   6 You need to have installed gcc, binutils, patch, bzip2, flex,
   7 make, gettext, pkg-config, unzip, libz-dev and libc headers.
   8
   9 Run "./scripts/feeds update" to get the latest package definitions
  10 defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
  11 and "./scripts/feeds install" to install symlinks into "package/feeds/*".
  12
  13 Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.
  14
  15 Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
  16 It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain,
  17 the kernel and all choosen applications.
  18
  19 You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded
  20 system via tftp.
  21
  22 The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution
  23 and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it.
  24
  25 To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
  26 (case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
  27 the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
