OpenWrt Custom Build System

Build Options

Native Build

# All available options
./scripts/build.sh --help

# Parallel build with specific job count
./scripts/build.sh --device netgear-r6850 --profile home --jobs 8

# Force rebuild
./scripts/build.sh --device netgear-r6850 --profile home --force

Docker Build

For systems where installing build dependencies (like libncurses, awk, etc.) is difficult:

# Make the docker wrapper executable
chmod +x docker-build.sh

# Build using Docker (all build options supported)
./docker-build.sh build -d netgear-r6850 -p home

# Build with clean environment
./docker-build.sh build -d netgear-r6850 -p business --clean

# Open interactive shell in build container
./docker-build.sh shell

# Clean build environment and Docker volumes
./docker-build.sh clean

# Check status
./docker-build.sh status
