Meraki MR16 - Noob to Unix - please help

HI There,
I'm very new to UNIX, but very Windows and Infrastructure Literate.
After following several different threads for how to set up the build environment - I fail :frowning:
Sorry to ask.. and I know some people HAVE had difficulty in doing this. but....
Has anyone actually done a drains up - dummies guide to building the "unix environment".
for example.
(i use vmware) - Install Ubuntu / or what ever.
Update by typing......
Sudo Apt-Get bah blah blah
CD into what directory and when?
How do I create a package with ONLY the drivers for my MR16?

Sorry - I know it's a pain, but I really want to learn... and I'm struggling at the moment.

please :-:pray:

@xpuser8334, welcome to the community.

  • First, Linux (which OpenWrt uses) and Unix are different.
  • Next, I moved this thread to the for Developers section for you.

Have you seen the developer's guide?

I use Debian (as Ubuntu has become too "helpful" for me). The amd64 CD from https://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/#stable should be sufficient. While logged into the console as root, enabling ssh (during install is easiest), apt get sudo and editing /etc/sudoers (probably with nano) to contain

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo	ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

and adding your user to the sudo group is helpful so you can SSH into the box/VM. See https://www.howtogeek.com/50787/add-a-user-to-a-group-or-second-group-on-linux/ for example.

You should never use sudo with any OpenWrt build!

With sudo you can administer the box/VM from a terminal session, rather than the "console" window.

The apt get line in the post below is what I use, though it could be pared down a tiny bit. If you don't have "bare metal" available, two cores for a VM will almost halve your ongoing build times. Four or more is good, if you can spare them.

HI There - Thanks.... I've read the website for the last 2 weeks...
and to be honest.... I wish I had spent my last 20 yrs in IT using Linux - instead of Windows and Cisco.. maybe I wouldn't feel so dumb :frowning:
I will look again at the developers section - although - if someone had the files to Include LuCi for a Meraki M12 / M16 tht would probably be exeptionaly useful, so I didnt have to compile them while not knowing what to do.
Thanks for the responses so far - I appreciate them.

As I recall, from within make menuconfig it’s LuCI > Collections, luci-nginx-ssl to get a secure, robust server. That will bring in the dependencies required.

Thanks Jeff....
But..... I tried 3 times, did the cleanup in between each time, and the "make" failed after an hour of scrolling trxt in make V=s mode.

I'm just building the Debian VM - 4GB / 4Cores / 30GB Disk - and will have a go there.
can I be cheeky and ask if anyone has the commands to get the build environment up - in order?
I#m really wanting to learn this... but getting the cross compiling / build envirnoment up has literally had me fail at the first hurdle :frowning:

git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git
cd openwrt
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig
make 

Or, that last line probably can be

make -j4 clean download world 

or -j5 with a four-core machine

is that al I need from a vanilla debian build?
I've struggled like hell on Ubuntu and use the lines above...
will give it a go - Thanks @jeff
Still waiting for Debian to finish installing - lol :slight_smile:

With the apt install from prior post, yes.

I think you’re installing too much Debian. It seems to take 5-10 min at most for me. No graphical user environment required.

ok - so... Riptidewave99 has a collection for the MR12-MR16 that people recommend using.... so I tried using it - obviously incorrectly! -
the MR12-MR16 is a build of Chaos_Charmer, LuCI and the Drivers for the AR71xx.. i tried following the "destructions" but obviously not too well - lol

Thanks @jeff

W

(Debian) - doing updates and installing them...
BUT... i'm a GUI monkey... - lol

seem to have some dependencies missing...
are these needed??

well... here goes..... running "make -j4 clean download world"

Cheers

Did you select your device in menuconfig, or are you trying to build everything for everything?

Hi Jeff,
Only selecting My Config.. - will post screenshots showing what I am doing per selection from the default.

Thank you ever so much.
W

Screenshots:-

This is what I have selected - even following a "make clean"

Regards

Have you done a plain, ordinary build, without any added sources?

Never heard of FLUP in all the builds I've done.

I followed the guide o the developers section of the OpenWrt pages.
basically a vanilla build of Debian 9.9.9 64-bit

WARNING: Makefile 'package/feeds/packages/seafile-seahub/Makefile' has dependancy on 'flup', which does not exist

That kind of error is a feed-maintainer issue, and won't matter unless you're building the flup package.

I'm kicking this off, and am not concerned by the problems around pulseaudio, since I know I'm not building it or anything that depends on it
