We currently use $(HOST_DIR)/usr as the prefix for host packages. That has a few disadvantages: - There are some things installed in $(HOST_DIR)/etc and $(HOST_DIR)/sbin, which is inconsistent. - To pack a buildroot-built toolchain into a tarball for use as an external toolchain, you have to pack output/host/usr instead of the more obvious output/host. - Because of the above, the internal toolchain wrapper breaks which forces us to work around it (call the actual toolchain executable directly). This is OK for us, but when used in another build system, that's a problem. - Paths are four characters longer. To allow us to gradually eliminate $(HOST_DIR)/usr while building packages, replace it with a symlink to . The symlinks from $(HOST_DIR)/usr/$(GNU_TARGET_NAME) and $(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib that were added previously are removed again. Note that the symlink creation will break when $(HOST_DIR)/usr already exists as a directory, i.e. when rebuilding in an existing output directory. This is necessary: if we don't break it now, the following commits (which remove the usr part from various variables) _will_ break it. At the same time as creating this symlink, we have to update the external toolchain wrapper and the external toolchain symlinks to go one directory less up. Indeed, $(HOST_DIR) is one level less up than it was before.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
