build: make find_md5 reproducible with AUTOREMOVE
While experimenting with the AUTOREMOVE option in search of a way to use
prebuilt host tools in different buildroot, it was discovered that the
md5 generated by find_md5 in depends.mk is not reproducible.

Currently the hash is generated by the path of the file in addition to
the file mod time. Out of confusion, probably, there was an idea that
such command was used on the package build_dir. Reality is that this
command is run on the package files. (Makefile, patches, src)

This is problematic because the package Makefile (for example) change at
each git clone and base the hash on the Makefile mtime doesn't really
reflect if the Makefile actually changes across a buildroot or not.

A better approach is to generate an hash of each file and then generate
an hash on the sort hash list. This way we remove the problem of git
clone setting a wrong mtime while keeping the integrity of checking if a
file changed for the package as any change will result in a different
hash.

Introduce a new kind of find_md5 function, find_md5_reproducible that
apply this new logic and limit it only with AUTOREMOVE option set to
prevent any kind of slowdown due to additional hash generation.

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
