Buildroot
Buildroot is a build system.
Useful commands
Buildroot is built around Makefiles. Each command should be run as follow: make <Target>.
| Target | Comments |
|---|---|
| toolchain | Build only the toolchain |
| <package> | Build the package and its dependencies |
| <package>-cleandir | Remove the build folder of the package |
| <package>-reconfigure | Remove the stamp to reconfigure and rebuild the package; useful after having change the configuration |
| <package>-rebuild | Remove the stamp to rebuild the package |
Notes
- By default, Buildroot compiles every library as shared. That is why the compilation of some projects failed at the link edition step because static symbols are stripped out of shared libraries.
