Building a LuCI package

Essentially, you follow the build system instructions:

Fetch the OpenWrt repository.
Update the feeds.conf.default to point luci at a local directory
Build out the full toolchain
Then follow the instructions for a single package to build the .opkg file for the example app.

Wiki documentation overrides this file.

Setup

Create a working directory, like ~/src
Clone the OpenWrt repository into ~/src/openwrt
Clone the LuCI repository into ~/src/luci

From here on you'll be working in ~/src/openwrt

Remapping LuCI source to local disk

Edit ~/src/openwrt/feeds.conf.default and comment out the src-git luci entry
Add a src-link luci entry pointing to your luci checkout - for example src-link luci /home/myuser/src/luci
Use the scripts/feeds tool per the documentation to update and install all feeds; you should see the local directory get used for luci

If you're doing a whole new application, instead of editing this one, you can use the src-link custom example instead as a basis, leaving src-git luci alone.

Selecting the app

Run make menuconfig
Change the Target system to match your test environment (x86 for QEMU for instance)
Select the LuCI option
Select the Applications option
Navigate the list to find luci-app-example
Press m to make the selection be <M> - modular build
Choose Exit all the way back out, and save the configuration

Toolchain build

Even though you're only building a simple JS + Lua package, you'll need the whole toolchain. Though the command says "install", nothing is actually installed outside of the working directory (~/src/openwrt in this case).

Run make tools/install
Run make toolchain/install

Package build

This will trigger the build of all the dependencies, such as ubus, libjson-c, rpcd etcetera.

Run make package/luci-app-example/compile

The IPK file will be produced in bin/packages/<architecture>/luci/. This file can be copied to your test environment (QEMU, real hardware etcetera), and installed with opkg.
