Hi,

this program is really needed to be able to run it on our router (even in remote).
Please have a look and create the needed package.

Sincerely thanks and have a nice day,

Did you even try to look ?

Aria2 is available on AA and in trunk. see the packages directory or the output of opkg on your router.

Dear zloop,

sorry but the only recommended version for my router (ASUS WL-500g Premium V1) is Backfire :
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/asus/wl500gp

And Aria2 is not available for it :
http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/1 … /packages/

Then the answer is : yes I already checked if already exist. And as you can see it is not available to run on Backfire 10.03.1

This is why I asked if some developer could please create this really interesting package.

Could you help or see it with the developer team if you are one of them.

Sincerely thanks and have a nice day,

Miguipda ;-)

You might want to or have to compile it yourself.

Backfire and older is not supported anymore (EOL = End of Life).
The backfire build environments requires older software versions - they might break new openwrt buildroots of AA/trunk.

new Debian doesnt like the old Backfire build environment: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/14302 (set to obsolete)

try aria2_1.17.1-1_brcm47xx.ipk
compiled from with backfire and debian6 - most recent version of aria2 requires C11+ features not available on the buildroot with default setting

what about 1.18.1 for OpenWRT 12.09 ar71xx?

last compiled version available is 1.15.1-1_ar71xx.ipk

but from the developer the last stable one is 1.18.1, how can i get/compile myself this one?

update the Makefile (Version and MD5SUM)
package/feeds/packages/aria2/Makefile
that works at least in trunk - there might be other stuff you have to edit if you hava AA - just compare the files

probably i'm stupid, but is the first time that i'm trying to compile a package, i followed the wiki to install the toolchain on ubuntu, this is what i get when trying to compile aria2:

~/openwrt/openwrt$ make package/feeds/packages/aria2
make: `package/feeds/packages/aria2' is up to date.

what i'm doing wrong?

Im sorry for the noob question, but is aria2 supported on x86?

Today I've seen that is available in BB & trunk package repository, so tried to install it (i've tried to install it both via terminal and including it into a self-build image) but I wasn't able run it, since it seems that I didn't get any aria2 script file into /etc/config.

Initially, when I've tried to install it via terminal, I thought that was a problem of missing dependency, so I've tried to include it from the buildroot building a new image, (that if I dont mistake, when a package were selected it automatically set the correct dependency, right?), but I haven't solved the problem.

Any idea??

Thanks you very much in advance.

Today I've tried again to install the package but I didn't solved the problems that I ran into; sincerely I don't know what else I can do.

To be sure that the package provided from the snapshot download isn't broken, today I've tried to built by myself Aria2, but since Aria2 documentation covers the topic in general mode and not in a specific way for OpenWrt, I would like to ask you if there isn't any guide about how to build Aria2 for OpenWrt, I've already googled it but i didn't find anything...

In particular, once I've downloaded the source and built it, what I've to do to get the output working with OpenWrt?
In other words what I've to do to get an .ipk file that we can use with Openwrt?
Thank you very much in advance.
