-This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux Distribution
-It is a modified uClibc buildroot2.
+This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution
Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated
configuration for the toolchain and firmware.
-Simply running 'make' will build your firmware and a tarball
-of kernel modules. It will download all sources, build the
-cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications.
+You need to have installed gcc, binutils, patch, bzip2, flex, bison,
+make, gettext, pkg-config, unzip, libz-dev and libc headers.

You can use scripts/flash.sh for remotely updating your embedded system
via tftp.
+The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution
+and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type make -C docs/ to build it.
-There are some cleanup targets we would like to explain.
-"make clean" will only clean the firmware images and the root
-filesystem. "make dirclean" will remove the extracted kernel source
-and all exctracted software. (busybox,bridge-utils,..), but will
-preserve your toolchain. (compiler,linker,..)
-"make distclean" will remove everything, including the toolchain,
-all downloaded source code archives and your firmware configuration.
-You can cleanup separate directories by using "make application-dirclean"
-and rebuild the firmware with "make".
+Building your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system.
+Cygwin will not be supported because of the lack of case sensitiveness.
-Be happy..
+Sunshine!
