Package.mk not found

I try to compile the ipkg on my openwrt router, but i get this instead:

root@OpenWrt:~/package/DslrDashboardServer# make menuconfig Makefile:13: /package.mk: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target '/package.mk'. Stop. root@OpenWrt:~/package/DslrDashboardServer#

You should not build as root, and also you should build from the openwrt forlder and not from the package/DslrDashboardServer sub folder.

i got it, i need to compile the complete openwrt with that package included right? that was a bit hard to understand from the readme.md - however i'm stuck during compiling and i dont know why sadly
