Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon.git
cd gluon
git clone git://github.com/freifunk-gluon/site-ffhl.git site
make update
make

Builds

For the build reserve 6GB of disk space. The building requires packages for subversion, ncurses headers (libncurses-dev) and zlib headers (libz-dev).

Building Gluon

To build Gluon, after checking out the repository change to the source root directory to perform the following commands:

git clone git://github.com/freifunk-gluon/site-ffhl.git site # Get the Freifunk Lübeck site repository - or use your own!
make update                                                  # Get other repositories used by Gluon
make                                                         # Build Gluon

When calling make, the OpenWRT build environment is prepared and updated. To rebuild the images only, just use:

make images

The built images can be found in the directory images.

Cleaning up

There are three levels of make clean:

make clean

will only clean the Gluon-specific files;

make cleanall

will also call make clean on the OpenWRT tree, and

make dirclean

will do all this, and call make dirclean on the OpenWRT tree.
