openwrt make targets

Useful_Trunk_Rebuild_Make_Targets

These were culled from IRC logs at irc.freenode.net on #wgt634u . The comments may not be correct. If so, please fix them. This page was put together to help with build problems related to dirty source trees.

• make package/base-files-clean target/linux-clean target/lzma-clean target/utils-clean
• good general cleaning and doesn't rebuild toolchain
• clobbers certain changes you may have made to files in 'root' - (i.e. is it incompatible with WGT634U_USB_root building?)

• make target/linux-clean
• cleans kernel

• make clean
• duh, calls 'make dirclean'

• make toolchain/uClibc-clean
• clean uClibc only

• make package/base-files-clean
• always run before rebuild?
• DANGER - remove package and unpacks the source archive again
• aka: make package/package_name-clean (ie: make package/jpeg-clean)

• make package/package name-rebuild
• recompile the package after you make changes
• if this still does a make clean (ie: deletes everything, including your changes) add this to your package/whatever/Makefile:

• mostlyclean:
• rm $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/.built

 I can't seem to get the above to look right, so just remember to indent the rm with a tab.

• make package/clean
• cleans all packages, not always required

• make target/clean
• ?

• for specific packages, e.g. courtesy of frop
• ...well, if there's a new version of madwifi (from svn)... 'make package/madwifi-clean'

• make target/install
• rebuilds install image (and kernel too?)

• make (any command) world
• runs that command, and recompile (same as "make (command); make" (i think))
• confirmed - yes, make takes multiple targets on the command line. Be careful when you type commands - if you miss a "-" and type make package/jpeg clean instead of make package/jpeg-clean it'll delete everything as it does the clean after a make package/jpeg. MUCH DIFFERENT!
