Arjav,
As far as I know, the final package will end up in the "staging_dir"
directory, not the build_dir. Inside the build_dir will be all the binaries
compiled by the package.
Try doing something like:
1) Edit the Makefile(s) and remove the lines that install binaries you
don't want.
Hi Ronaldo,
I tried doing that by removing the copy line in Makefile but anyhow those
files come into build_dir.
I suspect that those files get included from dl directory. Is my
understanding in this correct?
If I remove packages from dl directory then I get compilation errors.
Thanks & Regard
Arjav,
I'm not 100% sure of that, but if I were you I would take a look at the
Makefiles that generate those packages whose files you don't want to be
included in the final build image.
Often the "install" directive of an OpenWrt Makefile is where developers
"include" the files they want to

Hi Ronaldo,
I am building firmware for IPQ806x platform. I have been able to
reduce my firmware image from 22 MB to 10 MB by disabling unwanted
kernel modules and libraries using make menuconfig.
But there are files in root-ipq806x/lib/fimrware directory of approx
size 4.4 MB. I do not require a
Hi Arjav,
Which kind of firmware are you using? An OpenWrt prebuilt (from
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/) or a firmware build by yourself?
Well, in or case, I suggest you build your firmware ... using "make
menuconfig" is the first thing to try for removing unnecessary binaries.
Hi,
I want to reduce the root file system size for my project. Till now
after removing the unnecessary kernel modules, libraries and using
strip binary the file system size has been reduced to 8.3 MB. Bu there
are still some files which are not required and I am unaware of how to
prvent these file
