How to build my own fork?

[stinger2k]

Hey guys out there... ^^

can anyone explain what is needed to build a custom firmware for dsl versions...
What are the first steps to enable a persistent jffs partition with script support on stock firmware?

Thanks for your explanation and help...

Just simply download your model GPL/source code, do your modifications (your own code, jffs code, etc etc) and compile it after.

hi,

thanks for reply, where can i find where jffs code is needed, maybe you can it explain it clear what is needed and what changes in what files are to do?

I would suggest that you have a look here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Compile-Firmware-from-source-using-Ubuntu to see how it's done for the non-DSL versions.

If you understand that process you might be able to adapt it for the DSL version, although I'm not sure whether all of the source code is available.

To do that type of change, you will need programming skills. It's not something that can be put in a tutorial and followed step-by-step.

I do have skills in c#, c++ and bash (i need it for some little projects on arduino and raspberry pi) so programming is not a new word for me, that what i need is - what to edit for got persistent jffs partition running, so i think it would be a good start with Merlin´s source...

Persistant JFFS partition has been part of the stock firmware for quite some time already.
