Back a few years ago, when we were starting to think about top-level parallel build, we were not sure how to deal with packages that installed the same files, so we wanted to catch the situation to assess how prevalent that was, before we decided what to do and how to address it. However, the trend nowadays is that packages will install in a per-package target/ (and staging/ and host/), and the final directories will be assembled in a reproducible (alphabetical) order, so if two packages install the same file, the last one will win (as is currently the case). Besides, check-uniq-files reports loads of spurious errors when packages get reinstalled (e.g. during development). Finally, check-uniq-files is the only script called during the build, that is written in python. So, get rid of check-uniq-files. Signed-off-by: Yann E.

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
