How to turn a normal openwrt buildroot checkout into a Freifunk Franken Firmware

We assume that your current working directory is the root of the openwrt repository and that your checkout of this repo resides in ${FF_REPO}. We also assume that you have compiled openwrt before and thus have all dependencies already installed. If not see: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/easy.build

Apply our patches for openwrt

git am ${FF_REPO}/patches/openwrt/*

Fetch the offical package feeds

./scripts/feeds update -a

Apply patches for openwrt packages

cd feeds/packages && git am ${FF_REPO}/patches/packages/* && cd -

Apply patches for openwrt routing packages

cd feeds/routing && git am ${FF_REPO}/patches/routing/* && cd -

Add our packages as an additional feed

echo "src-link FF_FEED ${FF_REPO}/packages" >> feeds.conf

Index and install all selected package feeds

./scripts/feeds update -i
./scripts/feeds install -a

Add our packages that differ from official profiles

cat ${FF_REPO}/package.config > .config

Configure openwrt:

make defconfig
make menuconfig

Now select the "Target System" and "Target Profile" for your AP model. Make sure, that you include one of the freifunk franken packages:

freifunk-franken-basic or freifunk-franken-debug

Finally start the build process

make
