HOW TO PREPARE A WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR FRESHTOMATO COMPILATION (on Debian 12/64bit)

  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. Set proper date/time:

    $ dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

    In case of problems here:

    $ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin

  6. Add your [username] to sudo group:

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

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

    $ sudo apt-get install autoconf autoconf-archive m4 bison flex g++ libtool 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 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 zip mc cmake ninja-build curl libglib2.0-dev-bin libglib2.0-dev sqlite3 dconf-editor python3.11-dev
$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

  8. Clone/download repository:

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

  9. Reboot system

  10. Add your email address to git config:

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

  11. 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 SDK7 image, use: $ git checkout arm-master then: $ cd release/src-rt-7.x.main/src, check for possible targets: $ make help, use one (RT-AC3200 build AIO): $ make ac3200-128z
  5. To compile SDK714 image, use: $ git checkout arm-master then: $ cd release/src-rt-7.14.114.x/src, check for possible targets: $ make help, use one (RT-AC5300 build AIO): $ make ac5300-128z
