Instructions on how to create the compile environment on debian 64bits machine to Compile LEDE or Openwrt

Pre-requisites

• 64bits Debian or Ubuntu Machine

Create an LXC container

Create a dev environment using an LXC container with Debian:

sudo lxc-create -t debian -n openwrt
sudo lxc-stop -n openwrt --kill
sudo chroot /var/lib/lxc/openwrt/rootfs
apt-get update
apt-get install sysvinit-core curl nano
exit
echo "lxc.aa_profile = unconfined" | sudo tee -a /var/lib/lxc/openwrt/config

To run some command you can do:

sudo lxc-start -d -n openwrt
sudo lxc-attach -n openwrt -- apt-get update

To have a full terminal you can do (user root password root):

sudo lxc-start -d -n openwrt
sudo lxc-console -n openwrt -t 1

Prepare the LXC container

Make some adjustments inside LXC container
