How to build FOWSR 2.0 for OpenWRT. Help ??

[James Nichols]

i want to build the latest fowsr 2.0 package for OpenWRT.

I did a build with some success months ago,

but I have forgotten what I did and cannot repeat it.

Is there anyone out there that can help?

I tried manually editing the OpenWRT-style "Makefile" for fowsr that is supplied with OpenWRT (located in /trunk/feeds/packages/utils/fowsr/ )

The "makefile" looks like this after my edits:

After I do make menuconfig and make commands, this is the tail of the build log where the error seems to be:

I found the problems:

1) http://fowsr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/openwrt/Makefile

download the above Makefile and replace the file: package/feeds/packages/fowsr/Makefile

2) Edit the new makefile, replace "libusb-compat" with "libusb". (libusb-compat doesn't exist in OpenWRT.)

Cheers,

James

I think, that's not the right way. You should instead
1) Invoke "make menuconfig" in the OpenWrt folder and select libraries--> libusb-compat
2) The file http://fowsr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/openwrt/Makefile should be unmodified copied to feeds/packages/utils/fowsr.

Well it worked great for me.  I even added a way to send data to WeatherFlow.com !! (wind speed and gust updates, but timezone and direction seem to be somewhat broken)

However, I will try your method one more time.  Maybe I missed something.

Another issue is with the log directory on installation.  If the /var/log/fowsr directory doesn't exist on installation or is ever deleted; then it is not created and fowsr doesn't work.

The page https://code.google.com/p/fowsr/wiki/OpenWrt helped me alot.

But changing to libusb in the Makefile worked for me.

When I do menu-config, under Libraries there is

libusb (A library for accessing Linux USB devices) and

libusbpp (A C++ library for accessing Linux USB devices)

I don't find a libusb-compat there.
