The term gdb-client is deceptive - although it parallels the gdb-server name, it is actually a full fledged gdb version. I want to use it to debug uClibc core files on my host system. Although I haven't got that to work yet, I wasted time figuring out how to do build gdb for the host not realizing it already had a target. With this documentation change, things would have been a lot clearer to me. |

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! -Erik Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to: Erik Andersen <andersen@codepoet.org>
