How to install the 1.8.1.7-2a package?

[sunwen]

Hi all,

I download the 1.8.1.7-2a package from wl500g.dyndns.org, I untar it to the directory of broadcom/src, and type 'make' to apply the patch.

After the patch, I go to the router directory to 'make images-wl500g', but the result is remain 1.8.1.7, not plus 2a.

Are there additional steps to upgrade the 1.8.1.7 to 2a version?

BTW: Anyone have been compile this package successfully?

TIA.

I've done this several times. :D
Name does not matter.

Following is my steps:

tar zxvf GPL_1817.tar.gz
tar jxvf wl500g-1.8.1.7-2a.tar.bz2
mv wl500g-1.8.1.7-2a /home/user/broadcom/src/
cd /home/user/broadcom/src/wl500g-1.8.1.7-2a/
make

this procedure is ok, then

cd /home/user/broadcom/src/gateway/
make images-WL500g

make -C busybox STRIP=mipsel-uclibc-strip PREFIX=/home/user/broadcom/src/gateway/mipsel-uclibc/install/busybox install
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/user/broadcom/src/gateway/busybox'
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/user/broadcom/src/gateway/busybox'
make[2]: *** [busybox-install] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/user/broadcom/src/gateway'
make[1]: *** [image-WL500g] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/broadcom/src/gateway'
make: *** [images-WL500g] Error 2

Can you tell me the reason???

I continue by make the busybox and kernel manually, but there is still problem which prohibit me going:

make -C /home/user/broadcom/src/linux/linux/scripts/squashfs mksquashfs CC=gcc
make: *** /home/user/broadcom/src/linux/linux/scripts/squashfs: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: Entering an unknown directorymake: Leaving an unknown directorymake[2]: *** [install] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/user/broadcom/src/gateway'
make[1]: *** [image-WL500g] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/broadcom/src/gateway'
make: *** [images-WL500g] Error 2

Very disappointed, for I can't find any readme or instructions to install this package, any body can tell me what's wrong with me?

Forgive the question, but how do you connect to the router to execute these commands??

telnet my.router
