Hello,
I need an openwrt-image including the package tinc for my TL-WR841N.
because of its small flash-space, I planned building an image without LuCi but with tinc integrated.

After a few stumbling stones, I finally did it to run make without any errors.
Half an hour later, everything finished, I got no errors and found a few files in my directory ./bin/ar71xx/

I was looking for a file including the words "factory" and "WR841N", but as you can see here, there is no file looking like this:

-rw-r--r-- 1 sb sb  729 Nov 22 10:38 amd5sums
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sb sb 157K Nov 22 10:32 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-nbg460n_550n_550nh-u-boot.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 sb sb 2,7M Nov 22 10:38 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-root.squashfs
-rw-r--r-- 1 sb sb 2,6M Nov 22 10:38 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-root.squashfs-64k
-rw-r--r-- 1 sb sb 1,6M Nov 22 10:38 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-uImage-gzip.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 sb sb 1,2M Nov 22 10:38 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-uImage-lzma.bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sb sb 3,4M Nov 22 10:38 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-vmlinux.bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sb sb 3,4M Nov 22 10:38 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-vmlinux.elf
-rw-r--r-- 1 sb sb 1,6M Nov 22 10:38 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-vmlinux.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 sb sb 1,2M Nov 22 10:38 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-vmlinux.lzma
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sb sb 1,2M Nov 22 10:38 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-vmlinux-lzma.elf
drwxr-xr-x 8 sb sb 4,0K Nov 22 10:38 packages
-rw-r--r-- 1 sb sb 1,2K Nov 22 10:38 sha256sums
drwxr-xr-x 2 sb sb 4,0K Nov 22 10:32 uboot-ar71xx-nbg460n_550n_550nh

Can I use one of these files or is there anything I did wrong?

these are the options I configured:

CONFIG_TARGET_ar71xx=y
CONFIG_TARGET_ar71xx_generic=y
CONFIG_TARGET_ar71xx_generic_TLWR841=y
CONFIG_OPENSSL_WITH_EC=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-ledtrig-usbdev=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-nls-base=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-tun=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-usb-core=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-usb-ohci=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-usb2=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_liblzo=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_libopenssl=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_tinc=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_uboot-ar71xx-nbg460n_550n_550nh=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_zlib=y

thank you

Don

The correct image was probably oversized and got deleted again, run "make -j1 V=s" and check towards the end of the build log for corresponding error messages.

ok, thank you for thr fast help

I started it.
If you are right, and the image was oversized: is there anything I can do, to make it small enough so tinc has enough space to become included ?

edit: looks like, you are right:

[mktplinkfw] kernel length aligned to 1166336
[mktplinkfw] *** error: images are too big
Makefile:2197: recipe for target 'install' failed

what can I do ?


Thank you and greetings


Don
