After You had complete build the openwrt firmware from openwrt source ,you may found you need some package but not on your source build root/packages
Then you figure out the required package is on openwrt svn feeds floder.
Seems now you need install these packages ,but how ?
you may just checkout these packages from SVN feeds ,it should be work but it's too slow.
So how about follow openwrt's recommand method to feed more packages you need
Just do floow steps:
go to your Openwrt Build root , mostly it would be trunk/, and must have a file called feeds.conf.default
or feeds.conf
Ok ,do follow steps first
(1.) ./scripts/feeds update -a
(2.) ./scripts/feeds install -a
after these steps,your build root floder will have a new floder name feeds, and it contain ,many
packages...
now for example add libpam (Now your path still on build root trunk/ )
(1) scripts/feeds install -p libpam
(2) make package/feeds/packages/libpam/compile V=99
(3) make package/feeds/packages/libpam/install V=99
on step (3) ,if you see :
WARNING: skipping libpam -- package not selected
you may need make menuconfig ARCH=xxx to select the libpam.
after slect the libpam, repeat the step (3) .
ok ! done !
