- Removed manual installation loop for individual dependencies that caused hangs
- Dependencies now handled via 'feeds install -a' and .config settings
- lucihttp and cgi-io disabled in .config (compilation failures)
- SecuBox packages are PKGARCH:=all (scripts), don't need compiled deps
Fixes interactive prompts and ^C hangs during build process.
Applied same fix as GitHub Actions workflow to local build script.
Problem:
- lucihttp and cgi-io fail to compile in SDK environment
- Missing lua.h headers cause: ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed
- Our SecuBox packages are PKGARCH:=all (scripts only), don't need these
Changes to secubox-tools/local-build.sh:
1. Removed lucihttp and cgi-io from build loop
- Only build: lua, liblua, rpcd (essentials that work)
- Skip: lucihttp, cgi-io (fail with missing lua.h)
2. Added configuration to disable problematic packages
- Explicitly disable in .config:
# CONFIG_PACKAGE_lucihttp is not set
# CONFIG_PACKAGE_cgi-io is not set
3. Enabled use of pre-built packages from feeds
- CONFIG_DEVEL=y
- CONFIG_FEED_packages=y
- CONFIG_FEED_luci=y
4. Updated dependency installation
- Install lucihttp/cgi-io from feeds (for metadata)
- But disable compilation to prevent SDK failures
Result:
- Local builds will no longer fail with "ninja: build stopped"
- SDK uses pre-built dependencies instead of compiling
- SecuBox packages (pure scripts) build successfully
This matches the fix in .github/workflows/build-openwrt-packages.yml

OpenWrt 25.12.0-rc1 introduced a major change: switching from opkg
to apk (Alpine Package Manager). This commit adds full support for
building both package formats based on the OpenWrt version.
**Package Build Workflow (.github/workflows/build-openwrt-packages.yml):**
- Added automatic version detection for package format
- 25.12+ and SNAPSHOT → .apk format
- 24.10 and earlier → .ipk format
- Updated feeds configuration to use correct branch (openwrt-25.12, openwrt-24.10, etc.)
- Modified artifact collection to handle both .apk and .ipk files
- Updated build summary to show package format
- Added PKG_EXT environment variable to track format across workflow steps
- Updated dependency download to handle both APKINDEX.tar.gz and Packages formats
- Skip dependency downloads for RC versions (repos may not be stable)
**Local Build Script (secubox-tools/local-build.sh):**
- Added package format detection based on OPENWRT_VERSION
- Updated feeds.conf generation to select correct branch dynamically
- Modified build_packages() to detect and build correct package format
- Updated collect_artifacts() to collect both .apk and .ipk files
- Updated SHA256SUMS generation for both formats
- Export PKG_EXT variable for use across functions
**Documentation:**
- CLAUDE.md: Added package format support details
- README.md: Updated compatibility table with package format column
- Added note explaining apk vs ipk distinction
**Key Changes:**
- Backwards compatible: existing workflows continue to work for .ipk
- Future-proof: ready for OpenWrt 25.12 stable release
- Automatic detection: no manual configuration needed
- Comprehensive: covers all build scenarios (GitHub Actions, local builds)
Tested scenarios:
- OpenWrt 24.10.5 → builds .ipk ✅
- OpenWrt 25.12.0-rc1 → builds .apk ✅
- SNAPSHOT → builds .apk ✅🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

During firmware image creation, opkg tries to create a lock file in the
staging root filesystem's /tmp directory, but this directory doesn't
always exist, causing the build to fail at the final packaging stage.
Error:
opkg_conf_load: Could not create lock file
.../root.orig-mvebu//tmp/opkg.lock: No such file or directory
ERROR: target/linux failed to build
Solution:
- Create tmp directories in all staging root filesystems before build
- Apply fix in both parallel and single-threaded build paths
- Use wildcard patterns to catch all target architectures
Changes:
- local-build.sh: Create tmp dirs before and during retry
- build-secubox-images.yml: Create tmp dirs in workflow
- .gitignore: Ignore build artifacts (openwrt/, local-feed/, .vscode/)
This ensures the build can complete the final image packaging step
successfully, generating the firmware images.

The firmware builds were failing during toolchain compilation due to
GDB (GNU debugger) missing testsuite/Makefile. This is a known issue
with OpenWrt's GDB toolchain component.
Error:
Missing testsuite/Makefile
make[7]: *** [Makefile:1992: subdir_do] Error 1
ERROR: toolchain/gdb failed to build
Solution:
- Disable GDB in toolchain with '# CONFIG_GDB is not set'
- GDB is not needed for building firmware images
- Only useful for on-device debugging (can be installed separately)
- Enable BUILD_LOG for better debugging
This fix applies to both:
- Local firmware builds (local-build.sh)
- GitHub Actions firmware builds (build-secubox-images.yml)
Impact:
- Toolchain will compile successfully
- Firmware images will be generated
- Build time remains the same (1-2 hours for full build)
- No impact on firmware functionality
Tested with:
- OpenWrt 23.05.5
- Target: mvebu/cortexa72 (MOCHAbin)

Add comprehensive diagnostics when firmware images aren't generated and
a new debug-firmware command to troubleshoot build configuration without
running the full build process.
New Features:
- debug-firmware command to check configuration and available profiles
- Enhanced diagnostic output when no firmware images are found:
* Shows all files in target directory
* Lists available targets that were built
* Scans build log for errors
* Analyzes file types in target directory
* Provides actionable troubleshooting steps
The debug-firmware command shows:
- Device configuration (target, subtarget, profile)
- Current .config settings
- Whether device profile is properly configured
- Available device profiles for the target
- Build output directory contents
- Suggestions for next steps
Usage:
./secubox-tools/local-build.sh debug-firmware mochabin
This helps identify configuration issues before running the lengthy
build process again.

Fix critical build failure in GitHub Actions workflows and local build script.
The issue was that LuCI package Makefiles reference ../../luci.mk which doesn't
exist when packages are copied to SDK or OpenWrt build environments.
Changes:
- build-openwrt-packages.yml: Auto-fix Makefile paths after package copy
- build-secubox-images.yml: Auto-fix Makefile paths for image builds
- local-build.sh: Complete rewrite to use feed-based architecture
* Packages installed as local feed instead of direct copy
* Automatic Makefile path correction (../../luci.mk → $(TOPDIR)/feeds/luci/luci.mk)
* Skip dependency resolution with NO_DEPS=1 for arch-independent packages
* Single package build support throughout the pipeline
This fixes the "No such file or directory: ../../luci.mk" error that prevented
all package and firmware image builds from succeeding.
