Michael Pratt a3830a1589 tools: gnulib: fix build with latest glibc C23 changes
Backport a patch that covers a build problem with latest glibc
being used as the host standard C library during tools build.

The C23 standard changes some functions that used to drop qualifiers
like "const" or "volatile" and are now forced to preserve them
in the return type based on the input type at all times.
Developers of glibc have responded by making these functions
into macros after they are declared with prototypes.
This is not compatible with the way gnulib is written,
so when the functions are redeclared in gnulib,
the preprocessor expands the _function name_ itself
as if it is a macro name, but not fully,
which results in unusual looking build errors,
e.g. the failed processing of keywords that were never written
and have no business being in a prototype, or,
as a keyword that is expected to be there and nearly guarenteed
to work but mysteriously is not working, displayed as:
"error: expected identifier or '(' before _____".

The backport patch introduces and implements a new macro
in order to prevent function names from being interpreted as macros,
by wrapping it in parentheses for C, or simply placing it back for C++
in the first stage of macro expansion which satisfies the goal
of no further expansion taking place during preprocessing.

Add an additional patch for the functions declared
in the fts header, as this bug also applies to them,
however, this was overlooked by upstream gnulib,
likely because the bug is not presenting as an error.

Yet another patch corrects the order between
specifiers and attributes in GCC syntax for header
lib/fts.in.h which can be blamed on an upstream commit.

Specifically, the throw() or noexcept() keywords
must be before attributes at the end of a declaration.
There are two headers, lib/cdefs.h and lib/getopt-ext.h
that already demonstrate the correct order which is very
strictly necessary in the latest version of GCC
when compiling C++ code, and acceptable for C code,
as the "__THROW" macro is simply another attribute in that case.

Added backport patch:
 - 400-c23-qualifier-generic.patch

Added pending patch:
 - 410-unmacro-fts-functions.patch
 - 450-attribute-specifier-order.patch

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.8+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
