openwrt-vagrant
Intro
Simple Vagrantfile for creating a Debian based OpenWrt Buildroot virtual machine. Intended purpose is for cross compilation, specifically I was trying to compile the Cannon CAPT 2.6 printer driver for OpenWrt.
Usage
First of all you will need to create a VM and build OpenWrt Build root
# Create the VM and ssh into it
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
# Configure and build OpenWrt
cd ~/openwrt
make menuconfig
make
# KABOOM - Cups is failing to compile now for some reason :/
Next you can cross compile things for buildroot using the cross-compile script. (The script sets a bunch of environment variables before calling the command with arguments as passed to it.)
# Cross-compile something
cross-compile your-make-configure-command
Compiling Cannon CAPT driver
sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev libc6-dev-i386 libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev intltool libtool-bin
wget -O ~/capt-2.6.tar.gz http://pdisp01.c-wss.com/gdl/WWUFORedirectTarget.do?id=MDEwMDAwNDU5NjAz&cmp=ABS&lang=EN
cd ~/ && tar xvzf capt-2.6.tar.gz
cd ~/Linux_CAPT_PrinterDriver_V260_uk_EN/Src
tar xvzf cndrvcups-common-2.60-1.tar.gz
tar xvzf cndrvcups-capt-2.60-1.tar.gz
cd cndrvcups-common-2.60-1
# Now comment out the cngplp line near the bottom of Makefile
cross-compile make gen
cd ../cndrvcups-capt-2.60-1
# Now comment out statusui section at bottom of allgen.sh
cross-compile sh allgen.sh
** Now, how do we actually install this stuff on the device?! **
