With CMake build system, the "make install" command always compiles before installing, to make sure that everything is up-to-date. In Buildroot environment, this is quite useless, because the package has always already been compiled, either at first build, or when invoking "make <package>-rebuild". In all cases, when it comes to staging or target installation step, the package has just been compiled. Using "make install/fast" - in order to skip the compilation step - is therefore more appropriate, more consistent with what other build systems do, and saves time when you need to rebuild your package.

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.
