Dumping our 176164 variables can take quite some time (~12s here). What
takes the most time is sorting the variables (~9s), followed by the
parsing of our Makefiles (~3s), with the actual printing in the noise.
However, sometimes only one or a few variables are needed. For example,
one may want to retrieve the Linux build dir from a post-build hook (to
get the Linux' actual .config after our fixups and check for various
features).
Add the possibility to only dump the variables listed in $(VAR) which
must be passed as a make argument, like so:
$ make -s printvars VARS="LINUX_DIR TOPDIR O"
LINUX_DIR=/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/linux-4.3 ($(BUILD_DIR)/$(LINUX_BASE_NAME))
O=/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/. (/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/.)
TOPDIR=/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot (/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot)
It is also possible to use make-appterns, like:
$ make -s printvars VARS="BUSYBOX_%"
This is much faster (the time is just about the time it takes to parse
our Makefiles, 3s here) and easier to parse.
[Thomas: improve comment above the printvars target.]

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.
