let me back up a bit regarding make targets and documentation. where should i have looked for documentation on that and other useful make targets? if i go to the wiki documentation page: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/start and search specifically on "make download" (assuming that i knew that was the target i wanted), this is all i get: http://wiki.openwrt.org/?do=search&id=%22make+download%22 none of which really corresponds to official documentation for that target. short of examining all the .mk files in openwrt, where does one learn about targets like that? a search for the string "make download" in the entire docs/ turns up no matches. another question about possible make targets -- i "git clone"d the openwrt repo, and used the ramips_mt7620a config file as my starting point, at which point the build took massively long only because i failed to appreciate that the config file built all sorts of optional packages i could probably have lived without. is there a make target equivalent to "make firmware-only"? i'm sure there must be, i just don't see it. and if there is, is it possible there's a "make download" variation that downloads only that which is required for the firmware? (equivalently, is there some sort of make option that deactivates all packages selected with "=m"?) last question regarding docs -- are there online versions of the tex docs in the docs/ directory? that would be nice so it didn't require one to install all the tex-related packages just to format those doc files. more later... rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
