Several users of rolling-release distributions have been reporting on IRC that Buildroot is broken now that they have switched to the newly released make 4.3. It turns out that the constructs we use to generated and include the internal br2-external related fragments is no longer working with make-4.3. Indeed, an upstream bug report [0] seems to imply that it so far was working by chance. There has been no further feedback, whether this is really considered a fix for a previous ill-defined behaviour, or an actual regression... In the meantime, we add a workaround, suggested in that same bug report, that fixes the issue for make 4.3, and that should not break on older make versions either (verified on all relevant versions: from 3.81, 3.82, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2).

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
