Dear devs, I succesfully installed pre compiled img then noticed Squid has been compiled without basic_auth which I need. I then tried to compile myself using openwrt-sdk-24.10.4-ath79-nand_gcc-13.3.0_musl.Linux-x86_64 but Squid pkg is outputed to
bin/packages/mips_24kc
NOT to
bin/targets/ath79/nand/packages/
how can I set proper target?
Kind regards
Try here: https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/
Option name https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/2dc53690941d08802be79113e9418396e129a9ff/net/squid/Config.in#L26
Compile parameter https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/2dc53690941d08802be79113e9418396e129a9ff/net/squid/Makefile#L83
Enable squid, then the 20 other opts appear.
Consider fixing ACL https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/28082/changes
It is the proper target, ath79 is mips_24kc.
$ arches ath79
ath79/generic mips_24kc
ath79/mikrotik mips_24kc
ath79/nand mips_24kc
ath79/tiny mips_24kc
There is non-default compile option needed. One can install self-built 24kc squid only.
Thanks for reply! It was kind of weired to me since the ath79 dir was empty.
I am facing issues with SQUID and digest_auth which was compiled 15 mins ago by myself. Digest_auth not found on system. I started with make menuconfig then selected all items basic_ncsa, digest_auth then compiled, installed but squid not starting says helper files missing. How do I get that?
damn thanks, I can just select packages there and they will be included?
What is in ls -l /usr/lib/squid/ after installing package?
weired seems like it is there: here is no root password defined on this device!
Use the "passwd" command to set up a new password
in order to prevent unauthorized SSH logins.

ok, guess got it. Supposed to be referenced to digest_file_auth in config…and several others like permission issues missing dirs and so on….
Now prompt pops up and asks for user/psw but wont accept it
switched over to basic_auth this is working nicely!
