Hello,
I am interested in doing some work on the usb/ip module in OpenWRT, and I want to set up a build system to support this. My plan is to install everything needed on a machine dedicated exclusively to building OpenWRT (actually to a new hard drive in an existing machine).
The wiki contains some instructions: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence
Are these instructions appropriate and reasonably up-to-date for setting up a build system on my host? Are there other resources I should read before commencing?
If I am generally on the right track, I have one other question:
Debian seems to be the first choice for an OS, but I've got more time on Ubuntu - how important is this?
Thank you
P.S. there does not seem to be a link on the how-to wki page (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/start) to the OpenWRT build system installation instructions (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence ). Consequently, the build system instructions may be overlooked.
