Older distributions such as CentOS6 come with python2.6, which causes build failures in packages such as host-libglib2 because they require python2.7 and above. host-libglib2 will produce the error message: /bin/sh: python2.7: command not found Python2.7 is a hard-coded value in configure.ac. If one changes the value to just "python," the following stack trace is produced: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./gdbus-2.0/codegen/gdbus-codegen.in", line 55, in <module> self.outfile.write(LICENSE_STR.format(config.VERSION)) ValueError : sys.exit(codegen_main.codegen_main()) zero length field name in format Instead of supporting an ancient version of Python that had its support ended in October os 2013, it would be more pragmatic only to support Python2.7 and above. Luckily; CentOS6 has the centos-release-scl repository, which allows users to install python2.7, and Debian 8 comes with Python2.7 already, making this patch relatively low impact.

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
