1FreeWRT - functional and secure GNU/Linux distribution for vintage Wireless routers
2===================================================================================

4This is the menu based buildsystem for the FreeWRT Linux distribution.

6Before you can start with the build process, you need to install some tools:
7
8perl, patch, gzip, bzip2, flex, bison, make, tar, unzip, sed; what is usually
9known as build-essential package (gcc, g++, binutils, glibc-dev); pkgconf (or
10its antecessor pkg-config), and the zlib and ncurses headers (usually called
11libz-dev, libncurses-dev). The framework checks for the required versions
12of these tools in advance, though (to re-issue the checks, use "make prereq").
13
14Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your Wireless router and configure like you
15want to.
16
17Simply running 'make' will build the firmware for your Wireless router. The
18buildsystem will download all sources, build the toolchain, the kernel and all
19applications.
