Guide to install Homebridge on OpenWRT/LEDE

Is there any guide to install home bridge on openWRT or LEDE ? I tried many things but it failed every time : Error: not found: make

Failed at the curve25519-n2@1.1.3 install script 'node-gyp rebuild'. npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the curve25519-n2 package, npm ERR! not with npm itself.

If help is still needed, I have successfully install HomeBridge on my LEDE Reboot. you can check out this Repo if you are making your ROM from the source code. You may add them in menuconfig

Or if you want to install on your LEDE router follow the steps,

1. Install make tools from opkg, gcc, libavahi-compat-libdnssd and make is needed opkg install gcc make libavahi-compat-libdnssd

Actually we need libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev which contains the header file, but opkg does not have the dev version, so just try to find dns_sd.h somewhere and put it in /usr/include/avahi-compat-libdns_sd/dns_sd.h

1. Install node from opkg, and need to install node-gyp with npm opkg update & opkg install node node-npm npm install -g node-gyp

2. Go back to your LEDE source code, make menuconfig select your device profile and select Package the LEDE-Base Toolchain save and make. The cross-compiled libpthread.a is needed.

3. After make, you will find /path/to/lede/source/staging_dir/toolchain-[YOUR ARCH]/lib/libpthread.a , copy it to your LEDE /usr/lib

4. Use npm to install HomeBridge npm install -g homebridge if getting cc not found, make cc soft link to gcc

The libpthread.a in step 4 is used for compiling node-mdns, which is required by HomeBridge
