NOTE: After finally being convinced by the Entware & OpenWRT Developers that neither Build Environment was meant to be Compiled Natively on a Router (Neutered C Libraries), I decided to pursue this Cross-Compile OnionShare Entware Package via Debian Live DVD solution; which, is presumably a bit slower, but ultimately successful. It wasn't too terrible after finding the right cross-compiling platform and combining a few different build references.
Requirements/Assumptions:
Cross-Compiling Host Machine:
1. Plenty of Physical Memory (RAM)
2. Debian Live (Testing) DVD
3. Flash Drive >= 32GB (Preferably USB 3.0/3.1)
OnionShare Installation Machine:
1. An Asuswrt-Merlin Compatible Router (i.e., Asus RT-AC66U)
2. Asuswrt-Merlin Compatible Firmware (i.e., 384.19)
3. Formated JFFS Partition and Enabled JFFS Custom Scripts and Configs
4. Entware installed on USB 3.0 Interface Device via Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu (AMTM) with Swap File created
NOTE: Not sure if it matters... At the time of this writing, Debian Bullseye (Testing) Live DVD contained the same package versions as the current Entware repository, opposed to the Debian Buster (Stable) Live DVD, so we opted to use the Debian Bullseye (Testing) Live DVD.
### Download & Burn Debian Live (Testing) DVD ###
### Boot Debian Live (Testing) DVD on the Cross-Compiling Host Machine ###
Our Cross-Compiling Host Machine required the [F12] key to be pressed during boot to enter into the Boot Menu and select the Debian Live (Testing) DVD. Make sure you setup and have Internet access on the Cross-Compiling Host Machine.
### Open Terminal ###
### Mount Flash Drive (Repeat after each DVD Boot) ###
### Download & Install Build System (Repeat after each DVD Boot) ###
### Clone, Setup, & Make Entware Build Env ###
### Download, Prepare, & Compile Test Package from OpenWRT Feed ###
### Download & Prepare OpenWRT Feed Package modified for Entware (When Available) ###
### It is unnecessary to edit the Makefile as Entware & PYPI take care of the configuration for us ###
### Select onionshare-cli for [M]odular inclusion under the SECTION => CATEGORY => SUBMENU of menuconfig ###
### Compile OpenWRT Feed Package modified for Entware ###
### SFTP & SSH OnionShare Packages & Dependencies to the Installation Machine(s) ###
### (Optional) Remove OnionShare & Dependencies ###
Congratulations! You've Cross-Compiled an OnionShare Entware Package via Debian Live (Testing) DVD! The Possibilities are Endless with Good-Times Ahead!
