Q: how to compile for OpenWRT / WNDR3700v2

Has anyone had success with (cross)compiling Tvheadend for OpenWRT running on a Netgear WNDR3700v2 router?
If so: how can I make this work? Is there a manual / howto?

I found a package but could not make that work:
- using a DVB-C stick the muxes are not found.
- when I enter the muxes manually, services are found but I can't map channels to services.

The DVB-C stick itself does work (Sundtek MediaTV Pro).

Thanks in advance!

What version of the gconv library do you have?
maybe this thread might help you:

Thanks!
Judging by the pictures, that seems wxactly what's going on on my router!
Unfortunately, I dont't have gconv at all on the router, and despite attempting for hours I can't make sense of the poorly documented buildroot toolchain from OpenWRT to built it myself :-(((

I'll keep searching for MIPS package ...

Look for gconv-modules ... There is a package for that, that depends on glibc .. So make sure that it is included in your openwrt build enviroment

I got this response on the OpenWRT forum:

Afaik "gconv-modules" is glibc specific, OpenWrt does not have that. 
Its probably just used for internationalization anyway so its better to patch tvheadend instead to not require it.

So unfortunately I guess there's no easy fix.

Tvheadend hangs on Service probe started on "Sundtek DVB-C" but no services are found ...

/edit:
Muxes aren't added automatically, too; but that I can live with
