Topic: Creating Packages with the Buildroot

The content of this topic has been archived on 12 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello i want to cross compile some code and i want to use the SDK,  i followed the instruction on:

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence

So after

make defconfig
make prereq
make menuconfig

and make

i build the "Buildroot"

Now i want to build packages.

So i followed
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/obtain.firmware.sdk
instruction to build nano for example.

i have obtained the package source of "nano" with:

svn export svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages/utils/nano package/nano

and do a

make package/nano/compile

Everything went fine without errors but there is no nano.ipk in the

/home/ubuntu/openwrt/trunk/bin/ar71xx/packages

folder!

I also do a

find /home/ubuntu/openwrt/trunk | grep nano.*ipk

but no package!
Why? Where are the packages?
Or do i have to config something else?

I solved my problem!

i now use the generated sdk.

And when i compile nano it works!

The discussion might have continued from here.
