TomatoUSB

Hi,
I use tomatoUSB for 1year, it's work perfectly.
Now i need to install VWIEW [www.wviewweather.com/release-notes/wview-User-Manual.html] but is not in optware repository.
how can i do ?

(sorry for my bad english, i'm french)

Is there at all a possibility to do this?
If so, Could some one please point me in the right direction!
As for now Im running: Tomato Firmware 1.28.0905 MIPSR1-079V K26 USB Mega-VPN
with 3G (HSDPA) as wan and it works flawlessly!
Now I just wish to read the weather station state remotely. ;)

I managed to get this compiled for the router. It's pretty involved. Later today I'll post the binaries and additional necessary libraries.

I now have the files available to download. I've used all optware libraries except for two. Libusb from from what I could see in optware didn't have the necessary header file to allow compilation. So I've included the latest latest libusb library. I've also included radlib because it is not available in optware.

Download wview.tar.gz, place it in /opt , and extract it. In the extracted wview folder, simply run 'install.sh'. You will need to have previously installed optware. It will download the necessary libraries and compilation tools. It will then compile and install the additional libraries and wview to /opt/lib and /opt/bin. Seems like there's a bunch of html files also that are installed to their respective folders. Expect it to take a while, depending on your internet speed and your router cpu. My RT-N16 took around 1/2 hour to compile and install everything.

I have not used wview, and really have no way of checking whether it will work. The compile binaries appear to work from what I can see, so let me know.

Hi
Followed your guide but I was not able to compile, I get the following error when compiling radlib or libusb:

checking for a BSD-compatible install… /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane… yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p… /opt/bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk… gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)… yes
checking for gcc… gcc
checking whether the C compiler works… no
configure: error: in ‘/opt/wview/libusb’:

Hmmm, just ran it again myself without issue. Seems you might have missing libraries or header files which is weird. Installing optware-devel and buildroot should put everything there that's needed.

Try this, create a file called "simple.c" with the following code

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf( "Hello World!\n" );

return 0;
}

Then run: gcc -o simple simple.c

What does is say after running this?

I get the following error:
gcc: can't resolve symbol '_dl_app_init_array'

I'm using dd-wrt k2.6, probably it's the reason.

Take a look at this thread.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=654554

One particular library may be more stripped down in dd-wrt than in tomato.

Also, in the script I have a line that says 'rm /opt/etc/profile'
dd-wrt may need that file present, in tomatousb it causes issues sometimes so I just remove it.

try running:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/jffs/lib:/jffs/usr/lib:/jffs/usr/local/lib:/mmc/lib:/mmc/usr/lib:/opt/lib:/opt/usr/lib
and then try compiling again.

I had a lot of trash on my /opt folders because I didn't clean it after moving from tomato to dd-wrt.
I made a fresh install with the Oleg branch of firmware (on my asus RTN-10U) and was able to compile!
I was having some problems that had to do with incomplete installation of packages. I ended up running each line of your script separately and making sure that missing packages are installed, before following to the next line.
Now I will see if I can get my weather station to work with it.

With the installed packages should I be able to compile applications from source? (I'm a starter in linux…)

Yes, in the script I have it install optware-devel and buildroot. With those two packages you should be able to compile linux software. It won't necessarily work the same with each software package, but in general to compile you'll run…

./configure —prefix=/opt
make
make install

Some software will require additional libraries (wview needs a ton). If available, use the ones from optware, or compile it yourself if not available.

It looks like in order to get the webui going with wivew, you'll also need to install web server software (apache, nginx, etc) with php. You'll likely have to change a variable in php.ini to point to the html file location, along with whatever web server software you use. Just curious, does the weather station use usb to connect? or something else?
