I've been trying for days to get LibreMesh installed into an openwrt system. I'm using Mikrotik devices, which I just got for this project. I've been trying to build OpenWRT for a couple days. I finally got a bare bones image of openwrt to build and boot. Then, I tried to add LuCI as a package and things started going downhill. Specifically, building LuCi requires uwsgi, which requires libpcre. According to a thread I read: "uwsgi has a dependency on libpcre, which was moved from the feeds to the core packages a few days ago. ( https://github.com/openwrt/packages/commit/6f5412e6beb25d94cb30f088177900f2… 7 <https://github.com/openwrt/packages/commit/6f5412e6beb25d94cb30f088177900f2619af514> ) If you are updating your feeds, but still maintaining a 19.07.3 base, it probably won't work. It'll report that xxx has a dependency on libpcre and cannot be found type error. I'm sure if it already isn't backported, it'll be in the next milestone release. If you are building from source, make sure you either pull or rebase from the master branch, which should fix it." https://forum.openwrt.org/t/cant-install-luci-ssl-nginx-missing-uwsgi-depen… This is even getting to LibreMesh yet. I'm trying to get master to build now, but not sure if it will work either. Is there any other way to get LibreMesh going other than building my own OpenWRT firmware?

Hi Which specific MikroTik device ? What steps are you using for building ? Refer to the "Compiling LibreMesh from source code" guide here https://libremesh.org/docs/en_quick_starting_guide.html On Mon, May 31, 2021 at 2:36 PM Jason Gauthier <jagauthier(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I have two different devices: RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT-US (https://mikrotik.com/product/RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT) RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD-BE-US (https://mikrotik.com/product/RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD-BE) I checked the prebuilt images but did not see any for Mikrotik devices. So, I started here: https://libremesh.org/development.html Spent some time here: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/use-buildsystem What I did previously was: git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git openwrt cd openwrt git pull scripts/feeds update -a scripts/feeds install -a git checkout v19.07.7 make menuconfig (If I just select the architecture it will build and boot) Then I added LuCI because a web interface is preferred. (I'm taking it in small steps) Then just a: make V=s However, it failed to compile LuCI based on the message I sent previously. So, then I tried 'master' and it was actually built. However, the initramfs system won't boot (mikrotiks can net boot) They changed the architecture for compilation from ar7xx to ath9 between 19.07 and 21.02. I'm not sure if that's related, or the larger image size (3.8M to 5.4M) even though the devices are 16M/64M. So, there I am. Dead in the water.

Ok, have not followed all the steps required from the development guide as you need to deselect some feeds and packages ? Select the *Target System*, *Subtarget* and *Target Profile* accordingly. Optionally, *deselect* erroneous feeds locations: - Image configuration → Separate feed repositories → Enable feed libremesh - Image configuration → Separate feed repositories → Enable feed profiles *Deselect* problematic packages: - Base system → dnsmasq - Base system → firewall - Network → odhcpd-ipv6only Optionally, *deselect* unused packages: - Network → ppp Here what i did in the past - modify further to include all the required lime-packages you require or select them with make menuconfig __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ git clone -b v19.07.7 https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git openwrt cd openwrt #rm -f feeds.conf #rm -f .config cp feeds.conf.default feeds.conf cat << EOF >> feeds.conf src-git libremesh https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages.git;master src-git profiles https://github.com/libremesh/network-profiles.git EOF ./scripts/feeds update -a ./scripts/feeds install -a # Select your target, subtarget and profile then exit and save config make V=s menuconfig echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_dnsmasq=n" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_odhcpd=n" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_odhcpd-ipv6only=n" >> .config #Optional remove KPPP #echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-ppp=n" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-system=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-proto-babeld=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-proto-batadv=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-proto-anygw=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-proto-wan=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-hwd-openwrt-wan=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_shared-state=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_hotplug-initd-services=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_shared-state-babeld_hosts=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_shared-state-bat_hosts=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_shared-state-dnsmasq_hosts=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_shared-state-dnsmasq_leases=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_shared-state-nodes_and_links=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_check-date-http=y" >> .config #echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-app=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-docs-minimal=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_first-boot-wizard=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-docs=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-hwd-ground-routing=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_lime-debug=y" >> .config #add your other packages #Enable LUCI-SSL does not work with piania echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_luci-ssl=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_luci-theme-bootstrap=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_nano=y" >> .config echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_wpad-mesh-openssl=y" >> .config echo "PACKAGE_luci-compat=y" >> .config make defconfig make download make -j$(nproc) On Mon, May 31, 2021 at 3:29 PM Jason Gauthier <jagauthier(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Ah, Yes, I have done all that. They don't create the issues with the build I have. I guess my question stands: Is my only recourse to build? On Mon, May 31, 2021 at 9:43 AM Mark Birss <markbirss(a)gmail.com> wrote:

No, you can install libremesh packages over a binary release of openwrt ( I would suggest the latest 19.07 releases). Then the libremesh packages can be copied and installed from a local build of libremesh or from prebuilt feeds like for example: * https://github.com/libremesh/lime-feed/tree/gh-pages/v2020.1 * https://github.com/libremesh/lime-feed/tree/gh-pages/master * https://repo.libremesh.org/current/packages/mips_24kc/ Best!
