Some packages (e.g. libjxl) requires a quite recent cmake version,
that is not yet available in most distributions, especially those
LTS versions.
Currently, when we bump the minimum cmake version we require, it gets
bumped for all packages, regardless of their own minimum required
version, which means that a given configuration will trigger the
build of our host-cmake even if the packages that require it are not
enabled and those that are would be content with the system-provided
cmake.
Since host-cmake can take quite some time to build, this can get a
bit annoying to pay the price of a host-cmake build that would
otherwise not be needed.
Some packages even use an alternative build system when available
since they requires a more recent version of cmake than the our
minimum cmake version

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 OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
