Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that makes it easy generate a
|
|
|
|
cross-compilation toolchain and root filesystem for your target Linux
|
|
|
|
system using the <a href= "http://www.uclibc.org/">uClibc C library</a>.
|
|
|
|
Buildroot is useful mainly for people working with small or embedded
|
|
|
|
systems. Embedded systems often use processors that are not the regular
|
|
|
|
x86 processors everyone is used to using on their PC. It can be PowerPC
|
|
|
|
processors, MIPS processors, ARM processors, etc. And to be extra safe,
|
|
|
|
you do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And as of today buildroot even has its own webpage, making it a first class
|
|
|
|
citizen of uclibc.org and busybox.net, and more importantly, make it easy
|
|
|
|
to find and point to buildroot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you find a bug in buildroot, or wish to submit a patch to fix a problem
|
|
|
|
or add a shiny new feature, please use the <a
|
|
|
|
href="http://bugs.uclibc.org/">Bug and Patch Tracking System</a> to post
|
|
|
|
the details, to make certain your work is not lost.
