Guide to compiling kamikaze with the webif

[pier11]

Looks like BerliOS is back again. Just have been able to commit my stuff there.

Hello,
I tried to make my own firmware compiling kamikaze+webif^2 on OpenWrt buildroot, but something is wrong.
It appears that Config.in and control files are not present on berlios, and so I tried to create them. I include the content of Config.in

Config.in

Code:

endmenu

I also edited packages/Config.in to add Webif to the buildroot menu.
So executing make menuconfig, I can see webif into the application menu

Code:

This is the content of .config

When I execute "make" to make my firmware, the creation process seems to be ok, but Webif is not compiled or included into the firmware.
Can anyone help me? I hope to be useful also for someone else.
Thank you

[thepeople]

the config.in files are not needed in kamikaze. In the administration menu hit "enter" when you have the webif selected to select which webif packages you would like to make.

Hi everyone

Trying to compile Kamikaze x86 with webif^2 using this post

I keep getting this error and I have even tried to go back one version should be 3.8.3 I even tried 3.8.2

....
checking iconv.h usability... yes
checking iconv.h presence... yes
checking for iconv.h... yes
checking where to find iconv_open... not found (panic)
configure: error: iconv.h found, while iconv library not found
make[3]: *** [/home/user/trunk/build_i386/id3lib-3.8.2/.configured] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/user/packages/libs/id3lib'

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/user/trunk/package'
make[1]: *** [package/compile] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/trunk'
make: *** [world] Error 2

Anyone have any thoughts???

Thanks,

UPDATED 3/11/07
...
      d) Next again from within the trunk/package/ directory checkout the webif

Code:

svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/xwrt/kamikaze/package/webif

...

The URL from the first post should be changed to http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/xwrt/trunk/package/webif/ .

[ramponis]

I try to download the last Rev of xwrt.

But when i try to download with:

Code:

svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/xwrt/kamikaze/package/webif

I receive an error that the url not exist.

is the url changed?

Can someone give me the new?

Thank you

[lubek]

The directories were exchanged.
The trunk became whiterussian and kamikaze became trunk.
All necessary information concerning the SVN are permanently available at the project web pages at BerliOS https://developer.berlios.de/projects/xwrt/.

Code:

svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/xwrt/trunk/package/webif

The compilation problem from the first page is back in Kamikaze 8380+:

Looks like your fix was only temporary.

[lubek]

There has not been any fix.

After having a quick look to the current svn, I think that the place of headers has been changed.
Try to fix it in the webif²'s Makefile, replace:

Code:

                -I$(STAGING_DIR)/include-host -include endian.h \

with:

Code:

                -I$(STAGING_DIR)/host/include -include endian.h \

I do not have the possibility to verify it, please report your results.
It looks like the include structure has changed and the changes are probably permanent.

Thank you for the response.  I can test this when I get back to testing new Kamikaze revisions, lately they seem to break other packages as well.  Perhaps around K8500 or K8600 things will start falling back into place.  By then I'm sure this problem will also have been fixed.  Is there an application-shell script for the webif that works with Atheros routers?  There are several application pages that I'd like to try.  Also do you have a guide for interfacing the .ahtml files to .sh or .awx files?  The variable transferring is what I find terribly confusing.

Finally, is it possible to have individual item refreshing in the webif?  Currently the only thing that refreshes without refreshing the whole page is the SVG graph display (CPU, network interfaces).

[lubek]

Is there an application-shell script for the webif that works with Atheros routers?  There are several application pages that I'd like to try.

No.
There are application pages that were created on a brcm device. The original developer does not maintain them.

Also do you have a guide for interfacing the .ahtml files to .sh or .awx files?  The variable transferring is what I find terribly confusing.

Basically the awx is the awk shell.
I copied all documentation, we have, to the wiki page http://wiki.x-wrt.org/index.php/Programmer%27s_Guide_to_awx. There is a plenty of space for your imagination. 

Finally, is it possible to have individual item refreshing in the webif?  Currently the only thing that refreshes without refreshing the whole page is the SVG graph display (CPU, network interfaces).

Yes. You have mentioned pages that use this feature.

[meltyblood]

Please give me an example of code that would automatically refresh individual items (and would this code need to be in an .sh or .awx file?).

Finally, is there any way to create a page that emulates shell access?  Perhaps a field where you enter commands and a field where data appears in realtime?  This is a very sought-after feature.

[lubek]

You must perform these necessary steps:

• study busybox's httpd
• study haserl
• study busybox's ash
• study busybox's awk
• study busybox's awx
• study the existing graph pages code
• study X-HTML reference
• study javascript

You will have enough information to know how to write the pages that would automatically refresh individual items at this point.
I am still somewhere in the middle of the list.

Finally, is there any way to create a page that emulates shell access?  Perhaps a field where you enter commands and a field where data appears in realtime?  This is a very sought-after feature.

There are several ways for sure. We will appreciate your contributions. 

[meltyblood]

Yuck, javascript.  Your fix did not work.  It still yields the same errors.

[lubek]

Fixed in r3547.
