Re: [LEDE-DEV] A Wiki for LEDE Documentation

[Fernando Frediani]

A while ago in the begining of the project, put my time and myself to
be one of the responsible to set it up, give it LEDE's face, and start
transfering content from OpenWrt but unfortunatelly almost nobody
bored much at the time. It seemed that if you are not a "known person"
you might not get much reply.

Here we go with this topic again, thankfuly as a nice wiki is more than needed.

I don't mind about the wiki software much, they all have pretty much
the same concept and even if it's a different one it mighy actually be
a chance to refresh formats and review information with more care.
I like MediaWiki with VisualEditor plugin. Makes it a lot friendly for
everybody to edit.

Since this was directly passed down to scripts/ext-toolchain.sh, it
seems like we may need need to assign this value somehow based on the
choice offered below, I will respin a patch doing that.

[LEDE-DEV] gen_initramfs_list.sh escaping problem or stale dependency file?

[Florian Fainelli]

Hi,

I have a root filesystem embedding filenames that look like these:

/lib/data/:

these are essentially files that can be matched against an USB
vendor/product id in an easy way.

Now, the fun part is that this is only a problem when doing the
following (using OpenWrt/LEDE as a build system):

1:
- set CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=""
- build kernel modules
- build my user-space tools
- build the kernel image
- reconfigure the kernel to now use an initramfs
- build the kernel w/ initramfs

and then back to step 1 with the kernel build, would I hit this error:

usr/Makefile:64: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

which comes from usr/.initramfs_data.cpio.d containing these files
without escaping:

deps_initramfs := ./scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh \
/exp00/fainelli/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/target-arm-linux-gnueabihf/root-brcmstb
\
/exp00/fainelli/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/target-arm-linux-gnueabihf/root-brcmstb/lib
\
...

/exp00/fainelli/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/target-arm-linux-gnueabihf/root-brcmstb/lib/network/wwan
\
/exp00/fainelli/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/target-arm-linux-gnueabihf/root-brcmstb/lib/network/wwan/19d2:0063
\

Which sorts of make sense here because the file name contains a ":"
which is not escaped, so GNU Make tries to interpret it.

Now the part that does not quite make sense to me is why this file is
even relevant here considering that the first thing we do is set
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="" to disable the initramfs basically.

Any clues what could be wrong here? I am happy to provide any build
drops you may need to reproduce that.

Thanks!

Shall I do set up a dokuwiki on our open wireless community infrastructure?
