如何单独编译ASUS RT-N14U/N56U/N65U/N11P/AC51U/AC54U/AC1200HP/N56UB1

install git(安装git):

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install git

Go to directory /opt and run command for create the local copy of repository:

跳转到/opt目录并运行以下命令来创建一个本地副本的仓库

cd /opt
sudo git clone https://bitbucket.org/padavan/rt-n56u.git

This copies all the source code, creates a local git-repository. Directory /opt/rt-n56u will be the root of the git-repository.

Read the document /opt/rt-n56u/readme.eng.txt and install all the required packages that are listed in it:

 

sudo apt-get install build-essential gawk pkg-config gettext automake autoconf libtool bison flex zlib1g-dev libgmp3-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev texinfo mcmc (midnight commander) do not need to build the firmware, but it will help you navigate through directories, copy or edit files.Go to directory with toolchain sources (cross-compiler and tools for building) and build it:

mc (midnight commander) do not need to build the firmware, but it will help you navigate through directories, copy or edit files. Go to directory with toolchain sources (cross-compiler and tools for building) and build it:

cd /opt/rt-n56u/toolchain-mipsel
sudo ./clean_sources
sudo ./build_toolchain

The result will be collected the target of toolchain /opt/rt-n56u/toolchain-mipsel/toolchain-3.4.x

If you plan to build the firmware with the kernel 3.0, you must build the appropriate version of tolchain:

cd /opt/rt-n56u/toolchain-mipsel
sudo ./clean_sources
sudo ./build_toolchain_3.0.x

The result will be collected the target of toolchain /opt/rt-n56u/toolchain-mipsel/toolchain-3.0.x

In the future, you will need these commands only if the toolchain will be updated.

Now go to directory with sources:

cd /opt/rt-n56u/trunk

and edit file /opt/rt-n56u/trunk/.config to fit your needs.

Edit path to toolchain (if you need it):

CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_DIR=/opt/rt-n56u/toolchain-mipsel

To build the firmware, for example, for router RT-N65U uncomment (remove the simbol #) the line:

CONFIG_FIRMWARE_PRODUCT_ID="RT-N65U"

and comment the line:

#CONFIG_FIRMWARE_PRODUCT_ID="RT-N56U"

Save the file after edit.

Clear source tree (every time before a new build)

 

sudo ./clear_tree

Build the firmware:

sudo ./build_firmware

Created custom firmware file will be in the directory ./path_to_your_dir/rt-n56u/trunk/images. If you want to save the firmware that you created earlier - copy it to another location, because the command clear_tree overwrites the directory images.

When repository updated a local source tree must be updated with command: 

sudo git pull

If you made ​​any changes to the local repository, when you upgrade tree some files could not be copied. In this case, you must give the command: 

sudo git stash
sudo git pull

If toolchain sources (cross-compiler and tools for building) is changed you must re-build it: 

cd /opt/rt-n56u/toolchain-mipsel
sudo ./clean_sources  
sudo ./clean_toolchain  
sudo ./build_toolchain
