Topic: HOWTO Compile minidlna on OpenWRT toolchain

The content of this topic has been archived on 12 Apr 2018.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.

- Build your toolchain using OpenWRT as per manual
- Select minidlna from the available packages or use "scripts/feeds install minidlna"
- "make" to compile everything

UPDATE LATEST MINIDLNA
- download the latest source from minidlna.org and save it to ~/OpenWRT/trunk/dl/
   You can use wget <URL> -O ~/OpenWRT/trunk/dl/minidlna_1.1.2_src.tar.gz
- if name is not in the format minidlna_<Rel.x.y.x>_src.tar.gz rename it (i.e. minidlna_1.1.2_src.tar.gz)
  You can also adapt the name in the Makefile below
- cd ~/OpenWRT/trunk/package/feeds/packages/minidlna/
- copy Makefile  Makefile.bak  ... backup the original file
- mv patches  patches.bak  ... backup the original folder
- mkdir patches   ... create a new empty folder ... no need to apply any patch

- vi Makefile  and change

Line11: PKG_VERSION:=1.1.2    ...  Update to the correct version
Line16: PKG_MD5SUM:=65cebffaf9b57bf30fbfcf2a3a3253e6     ...  Update to the correct md5sum of the new source file
Line80: $(INSTALL_BIN) $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/minidlnad     ...  change "minidlna" in "minidlnad"

- cd ~/OpenWRT/trunk/
- make package/minidlna/compile

You may get an error but it shouldn't be during the compiling
At the end anyway you should have a compiled and working minidlnad in the
~/OpenWRT/trunk/build_dir/target-mipsel_r2_uClibc-0.9.33.2/linux-malta_le/minidlna-1.1.2/

Hope this help

Already build OpenWRT attitude_adjustment branch in Ubuntu and use "scripts/feeds install minidlna" to try minidlna package add.
But can't show minidlna item in "make menuconfig"
Is the process wrong?

Same here today. Even with trunk version.

The discussion might have continued from here.
