Hi Dynek,
Thanx a lot for your guide. I think I was able to successfully install optware. I am very new to dd-wrt and optware. After I finished your guide I tried to instal uShare. I used the following SSH command for this:

root@DD-WRT root $ opkg install ushare

I think I was successfull:

root@DD-WRT root $ opkg list-installed
libdlna - 0.2.3-1
libffmpeg - 0.5.4-2
libpthread - 0.9.30.1-43.29
librt - 0.9.30.1-43.29
libupnp - 1.6.12-1
ushare - 1.1a-1
zlib - 1.2.3-5

Now I am trying to startup the media server. I used this SSH command:

root@DD-WRT root $ /opt/etc/init.d/ushare start
/bin/sh: can't open /etc/rc.common

As you can see this did not work. A file called rc.common is needed but this is not present in any of my folders. What did I do wrong? How can I get uShare to work?

Thanx in advance for your help!

I dont know what I did wrong but I followed the guide to the letter but when i get to the update part I get this :
root@DD-WRT:~# opkg update
-sh: opkg: not found

What could I have done wrong?

Well I did all the steps again, and again, and on the third try it magically worked, I have no idea why! Thanks for the tutorial!

Format USB as ext2, Ext3 will not work !!!
cd /mnt/discsda
mkdir etc opt root
touch optware.enable
chmod 755 etc opt root
mkdir opt/lib
chmod 755 opt/lib
cp -a /etc/* /mnt/discsda/etc/
mount -o bind /mnt/discsda/etc /etc
mount -o bind /mnt/discsda/opt /jffs

wget http://backfire.openwrt.org/10.03/ar71xx/packages/libc_0.9.30.1-42_ar71xx.ipk
wget http://backfire.openwrt.org/10.03/ar71xx/packages/opkg_513-2_ar71xx.ipk
ipkg install libc_0.9.30.1-42_ar71xx.ipk
ipkg install opkg_513-2_ar71xx.ipk

Needed to do this again cause JFFS problem
mount -o bind /mnt/discsda/opt /jffs

cat > /etc/opkg.conf << EOF
src/gz snapshots http://backfire.openwrt.org/10.03/ar71xx/packages
dest root /opt
dest ram /opt/tmp
lists_dir ext /opt/tmp/var/opkg-lists
EOF
Needed to do this again cause etc problem
mount -o bind /mnt/discsda/etc /etc

TEST IF WORKING
umount /jffs
mount -o bind /mnt/discsda/root /tmp/root
mount -o bind /mnt/discsda/opt /opt
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/opt/lib:/opt/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/lib'
opkg update

RESULT:
Downloading http://backfire.openwrt.org/10.03/ar71xx/packages/Packages.gz.
Inflating http://backfire.openwrt.org/10.03/ar71xx/packages/Packages.gz.
Updated list of available packages in /opt/tmp/var/opkg-lists/snapshots.


6. Set the startup script to make the changes take effect each time upon reboot

Under DD-WRT’s web interface, Administration->Commands, input the following commands in the window then click "Save Startup":


#!/bin/sh

sleep 10
if [ -f /mnt/discsda/optware.enable ]; then
mount -o bind /mnt/discsda/etc /etc
mount -o bind /mnt/discsda/root /tmp/root
mount -o bind /mnt/discsda/opt /opt
else
exit
fi

if [ -d /opt/usr ]; then
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/opt/lib:/opt/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/lib'
export PATH='/opt/bin:/opt/usr/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin'
else
exit
fi

Note that some users have reported issues that they were able to fix by making the script sleep 10 seconds instead of 5.

7. Modification of the profile file

SSH into your box then copy/paste the commands below to PuTTY window to create a script running each time when user root logins:

cat > /mnt/discsda/root/.profile << EOF
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/opt/lib:/opt/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/usr/local/lib'
export PATH='/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/usr/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/usr/local/bin'
export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'
export TERMINFO='/opt/usr/share/terminfo'
EOF

Reboot then SSH back and TEST IF WORKING
opkg update
Downloading http://backfire.openwrt.org/10.03/ar71xx/packages/Packages.gz.
Inflating http://backfire.openwrt.org/10.03/ar71xx/packages/Packages.gz.
Updated list of available packages in /opt/tmp/var/opkg-lists/snapshots

Dynek,thank you for your guide,I was successful install optware on my router(WNDR3700 V2).I want to install transmission now.According to http://g300nh.blogspot.com/2010/06/bittorrent-client-transmission-on-dd.html

I type transmission-daemon, no error.After 10 secs,I type killall transmission-daemon oops the PUTTY show me killall: transmission-daemon: no process killed
Of course /mnt/root/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json is not exist!

I tried several times, same result. I'm confused.Could you or anyone else can help me!Thank you very much!

Hello all,
I have been trying to configure optware on my DIR-825 (Using 18024) I have followed the instructions carefully, and everything has installed correctly, however after install, I cannot run many applications. They all segfault

[laocha]

I encounter exactly the same issue on my HP-G300NH. Thought it was due to JFFS enabled, so disabled it, cleaned JFFS, even restore the router to factory default, and then reinstall, but still the same. Run transmission-daemon -f, and got segamentation fault.

[Logo78]

I have the same problem! WZR-HP-AG300H
The transmission v2.44 worked fine on my router. After an update was the problem!

[Logo78]

Log in with putty, run commands:

cp /lib /opt/lib/libnvram.so


Let’s forget the dd-wrt lib folder in putty, or you can spend time figuring out how to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH...:
Code:
mount -o bind /opt/lib /lib

Run:
transmission-daemon
wait for 10 seconds then stop it:
killall transmission-daemon

This will create default configuration file for transmission, the file is located at /mnt/root/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

How can you make the router startup?

[dynek]

I have updated my first post so that it reflects what I see on my WNDR3700 (sda_part1).

However I still have the damn Segmentation fault when running busybox sh.

Hi
After I add optware features written in http://dd-wrt.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=86912&highlight=optware
I have updated the libc to an advance version and since than
I see duplicate menus for each of the administration console

how can i fix this issue?
what kind of information is need to debug this?

(Im using 18024 with tp-link wr1043nd )

thanks

I can´t install optware using this tutorial on a tp-link 1043nd (v1. and DD-WRT build v24-sp2 (08/07/10) std - build 14896.

If I run ipkg install libc_0.9.30.1-43.29_ar71xx.ipk opkg_576-2_ar71xx.ipk
, I get this


ERROR: File not found: //usr/local/lib/ipkg/lists/whiterussian
You probably want to run `ipkg update'
ERROR: File not found: //usr/local/lib/ipkg/lists/non-free
You probably want to run `ipkg update'
ERROR: File not found: //usr/local/lib/ipkg/lists/backports
You probably want to run `ipkg update'
/bin/ipkg: line 1184: sort: not found


Is there a way to solve it, or should I install openwrt in order to use samba shares with my router?

[yaniv1111]

Hi

the version of OPKG and libc are very old,
replace section 5 with:

** make sure that the usb is mount correctly.

5. Install the required libraries for the MIPS (big-endian) architecture and OpenWRT's opkg
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/libc_0.9.33-104_ar71xx.ipk
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/opkg_618-2_ar71xx.ipk
ipkg install libc_0.9.33-104_ar71xx.ipk opkg_618-2_ar71xx.ipk

and

cat > /etc/opkg.conf << EOF
src/gz snapshots http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages
dest root /opt
dest ram /opt/tmp
lists_dir ext /opt/tmp/var/opkg-lists
EOF

**

Thanks guys. I have modified the first message of the thread to use updated libc and opkg!
