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 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 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-mips.git

9. Reboot system .

10. Add your email address to git config:

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

11. Add your username to git config:

    $ cd freshtomato-mips
    $ git config --global user.name [name]

.
HOW TO COMPILE

1. Change dir to git repository ie: $ cd freshtomato-mips
2. Before every compilation, use $ git clean -fdxq && git reset --hard, and possibly $ git pull to pull recent changes from remote
3. To compile RT image, use: $ git checkout mips-master then: $ cd release/src-rt, check for possible targets: $ make help, use one (Mini for ie. WRT54G): $ make f
4. To compile RT-N image, use: $ git checkout mips-RT-AC then: $ cd release/src-rt, check for possible targets: $ make help, use one (RT-N66U build AIO): $ make r64z
5. To compile RT-AC image, use: $ git checkout mips-RT-AC then: $ cd release/src-rt-6.x, check for possible targets: $ make help, use one (RT-AC66U build AIO): $ make ac66z

.
WARNING

To compile n6, n60, rtn53, e2500, e3200, wndr3400v2 and f9k targets (RT-N), before compilation you have to revert patch to the kernel:

$ cd release/src-rt/linux
$ patch -R -p4 < fix4usbap.patch
