I had succeed on compiling my - OpenWRT SDK 25875 - target RT3883 - with lots of package per-exciting.

Now I'm trying to cross-compile a c program.

my project files are placed like this:
/home/ubuntu/Desktop/openwrt-na9xx-r25875-20121204/package/fr-recognizer/makefile
/home/ubuntu/Desktop/openwrt-na9xx-r25875-20121204/package/fr-recognizer/src/makefile
/home/ubuntu/Desktop/openwrt-na9xx-r25875-20121204/package/fr-recognizer/src/fr-recognizer.c

I tested the program it run on my pc. so it's ready for crosscompiling.

but when I com to cross compiling my package wouldn't appear in the menuconfig tool.
here is the OpenWRT makefile :
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------begin makefile
include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk

PKG_NAME:=fr-recognizer
PKG_RELEASE:=1

PKG_BUILD_DIR := $(BUILD_DIR)/$(PKG_NAME)

include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk

define Package/fr-recognizer
    SECTION:=utils
    CATEGORY:=Utilities
    TITLE:=fr-recognizer -- excute spoken utterances
    DESCRIPTION:=\
    Users may spok commands,\\\
    program identify the spokken words,\\\
    program search the corespendent command and excute it.
endef

define Build/Prepare
    mkdir -p $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)
    $(CP) ./src/* $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/
endef

define Package/fr-recognizer/install
    $(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/bin
    $(INSTALL_BIN) $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/fr-recognizer $(1)/bin/
endef

$(eval $(call BuildPackage,fr-recognizer))

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------end makefile

I searched on the net and I run this commands :
$./scripts/feeds update –a
$./scripts/feeds install –a

$./scripts/feeds install fr-recognizer
>>Collecting package info: done
>>Ignoring feed 'packages' - index missing

How can I fix that problem ?

Hi louwi

Try to move the content of your DESCRIPTION variable to a block like this:
define Package/fr-recognizer/description
...
endef

and as you put you code already into "openwrt/package/" you don't need the feeds!

I made that change and still be the same problem. it don't apear in the menu config and
this is what I get when I excute the cross-compiling toolchaine:

$(eval $(call BuildPackage,fr-recognizer))

problem Solved, Thanks to Good.
Its was the the name of the makefile it should be "Makefile" not "makefile".

theire is a project for beginer you can have a look :
