-Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your preferred
-configuration for the toolchain and firmware.
+This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.
-You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make,
-find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers.
+To build your own firmware you need a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case
+sensitive filesystem required) Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack
+of a case sensitive file system.
-Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
-defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
-and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
-package/feeds/.
+You need gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff,

-Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.
+1. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to obtain all the latest package definitions
+defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default
-Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
-It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain,
-the kernel and all choosen applications.
+2. Run "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks for all obtained
+packages into package/feeds/
-To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
-(case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
-the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
+3. Run "make menuconfig" to select your preferred configuration for the
+toolchain, target system & firmware packages.
+4. Run "make" to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build
+the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the Linux kernel & all
+chosen applications for your target system.
