docs acutetech writes in Bug 266: the buildroot docs point to the download dir off of uclibc.org when it should be buildroot.uclibc.org 2005-08-28 08:08:14 +00:00
package Build 'file' for the host as well as the target. If the host system has a version older than that being built for buildroot, the target build will fail. So, we build 'file' for the host and add actually add '$(TOOL_BUILD_DIR)/bin' to the TARGET_PATH so that it takes precedence over the host system version. 2005-08-30 03:35:37 +00:00

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make'
2) select the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) Use your shiny new root filesystem.  Depending on which sortof
    root filesystem you selected, you may want to loop mount it,
    chroot into it, nfs mount it on your target device, burn it
    to flash, or whatever is appropriate for your target system.

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!
