HOW TO PREPARE A WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR FRESHTOMATO COMPILATION (on Debian 9.x/64bit or Debian 10.x/64bit)

1. Install Debian via the graphical interface (for simplicity); install the SSH server, choose default [username]; the rest may be the default

2. Login as root

3. Update system:

   $ apt-get update
   $ apt-get dist-upgrade
   

4. Install basic packages:

   $ apt-get install build-essential net-tools
   

5. NOT NECESSARY (depends if sys is on vmware); install vmware-tools:

   $ mkdir /mnt/cd
   $ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd
   

   unpack

   $ ./vmware-install.pl
   

   Or from debian package:

   $ apt-get install open-vm-tools
   

6. Set proper date/time:

   $ dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
   

   In case of problems here:

   $ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
   

7. Add your [username] to sudo group:

   $ apt-get install sudo
   $ adduser [username] sudo
   $ reboot
   

8. Login as [username], install base packages with all dependencies:

   $ sudo apt-get install autoconf m4 bison flex g++ libtool sqlite gcc binutils patch bzip2 make gettext unzip zlib1g-dev libc6 gperf automake groff
   $ sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 libncurses5 libncurses5-dev gawk gitk zlib1g-dev autopoint shtool autogen mtd-utils gcc-multilib gconf-editor lib32z1-dev pkg-config libssl-dev automake1.11
   $ sudo apt-get install libmnl-dev libxml2-dev intltool libglib2.0-dev libstdc++5 texinfo dos2unix xsltproc libnfnetlink0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtk2.0-dev libnotify-dev libevent-dev git
   $ sudo apt-get install re2c texlive libelf1 nodejs mc cmake
   $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
   

9. Remove libicu-dev if it's installed, it stopped PHP compilation:

   $ sudo apt-get remove libicu-dev
   

10. Remove uuid-dev if it's installed, it stopped miniupnpd compilation:

    $ sudo apt-get remove uuid-dev
    

11. Install i386 elf1 packages:

    $ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install libelf1:i386 libelf-dev:i386
    

12. Clone/download repository:

    $ git clone https://bitbucket.org/pedro311/freshtomato-arm.git
    

13. Edit profile file, add:

    PATH="$PATH:/home/[username]/freshtomato-arm/release/src-rt-6.x.4708/toolchains/hndtools-arm-linux-2.6.36-uclibc-4.5.3/bin"
    PATH="$PATH:/sbin"
    

14. Reboot system

15. Add your email to git config:

    $ cd freshtomato-arm
    $ git config --global user.email "[email-address]"
    

16. Add your username to git config:

    $ cd freshtomato-arm
    $ git config --global user.name [name]

HOW TO COMPILE

1. Change dir to git repository ie: $ cd freshtomato-arm
2. Before every compilation, use $ git clean -fdxq && git reset --hard, and possibly $ git pull to pull recent changes from remote
3. To compile SDK6 image, use: $ git checkout arm-master then: $ cd release/src-rt-6.x.4708, check for possible targets: $ make help, use one (RT-N18U/AC56S without SMP build AIO): $ make n18z
4. To compile SDK6-NG image, use: $ git checkout arm-ng then: $ cd release/src-rt-6.x.4708, check for possible targets: $ make help, use one (RT-N18U/AC56U/AC68U(R/P)/AC66U B1/RT-AC1900P build AIO): $ make ac68z
5. To compile SDK7 image, use: $ git checkout arm-sdk7 then: $ cd release/src-rt-7.x.main/src, check for possible targets: $ make help, use one (RT-AC3200 build AIO): $ make ac3200z
