<h1 id="GeneratingCompilingIPK">Generating / Compiling IPK Package File for OpenWrt</h1>
<p>
To add additional features, one can generate a package file that can then be added to an already running openwrt system.
</p>
<p>
There are two ways to do this:
</p>
<ol><li>Compile IPK file manually
</li><li>Turn on functions in make menuconfig and have them built automatically. (See this link <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/OpenWrt/Configuration">here</a>)
</li></ol><p>
Option 1 is listed below:
</p>
<p>
To generate IPK Files, an example is listed here:
</p>
<ol><li>Checkout the gateworks source code as explained on the wiki <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/OpenWrt/building">OpenWrt/building</a>.  Build the software.
</li><li>cd into the trunk directory.
</li><li>Type the following command, adjusting it depending on the needed package:
</li></ol><pre class="wiki">make package/feeds/packages/lighttpd/install -j8 V=99 &amp;&amp; make package/index
</pre><p>
Example output below:
</p>
<pre class="wiki">rx@xdev:rx/builds/gateworks-openwrt-12-10/trunk$ make package/feeds/packages/lighttpd/install -j8 V=99 &amp;&amp; make package/index
 make[1] package/feeds/packages/lighttpd/compile
 make[2] -C package/e2fsprogs compile
 make[2] -C feeds/packages/libs/gettext compile
 make[2] -C feeds/packages/libs/libiconv compile
 make[2] -C package/libtool compile
 make[2] -C package/zlib compile
 make[2] -C feeds/packages/libs/libxml2 compile
 make[2] -C feeds/packages/libs/pcre compile
 make[2] -C package/libreadline compile
 make[2] -C package/ncurses compile
 make[2] -C package/ncurses compile
 make[2] -C feeds/packages/libs/sqlite3 compile
 make[2] -C package/ocf-crypto-headers compile
 make[2] -C package/openssl compile
 make[2] -C feeds/packages/net/lighttpd compile

</pre><ol start="4"><li>Find the ipk file located at a location such as:
</li></ol><pre class="wiki">rx@xdev:rx/builds/gateworks-openwrt-12-10/trunk$ ls bin/cns3xxx/packages/lighttpd_1.4.28-1_cns3xxx.ipk 

</pre><h1 id="InstallIPKFile">Install IPK File</h1>
<h3 id="ViaWebgui">Via Webgui</h3>
<p>
Once the ipk file is acquired:
</p>
<ol><li>Place it on an accessible location on the same network as the Gateworks board
</li><li>Simply upload it via the OpenWRT webgui as pictured below (typically found at 192.168.1.1):
</li></ol><p>
<a style="padding:0; border:none" href="/attachment/wiki/ipkupload/uploadipk.png"><img width="800px" src="/raw-attachment/wiki/ipkupload/uploadipk.png" /></a>
</p>
<h3 id="Viacommandline">Via command line</h3>
<ol><li>Transfer ipk file to Gateworks board via utility such as wget
</li><li>Run command: 
<pre class="wiki">opkg install example.ipk
</pre></li></ol><p>
where example.ipk is the ipk to be installed.
