Thomas De Schampheleire cee060e98e core infra: make sure apply-patches is called with correct tar Buildroot has a mechanism to detect a too-old or missing tar program on the host machine, and builds a custom host-tar if needed. An example situation is a RHEL5 host machine, where tar is knowingly too old. The apply-patches script also employs tar, in case the patches come as an archive. However, tar is called as 'tar' without any absolute path, and the environment does not point in any way to the possibly custom tar. As a result, the too-old-tar is called. A particular problem is the flag '-a' which is missing on e.g. RHEL5. Previously, this problem went unnoticed: tar would fail, but apply-patches did not notice it, and the overall return code of the script was 'success'. However, commit `d5ae67b4` added 'set -e' to the script, causing any error to halt execution of the script with an error. Fix the problem by adding the Buildroot-built host tools to the PATH when calling apply-patches.

README

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.
