embedded system has a different processor, you need a cross-compilation

toolchain: it's a compilation toolchain that runs on your host system but

that generates code for your target system (and target processor). For

example, if your host system uses x86 and your target system uses ARM, the

regular compilation toolchain of your host runs on x86 and generates code

<p>Even if your embedded system uses a x86 processor, you might interested

in Buildroot, for two reasons:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The compilation toolchain of your host certainly uses the GNU Libc
|
||||
which is a complete but huge C standard library. Instead of using GNU
|
||||
Libc on your target system, you can use uClibc which is a tiny C standard
|

library. If you want to use this C library, then you need a compilation
|
||||
toolchain to generate binaries linked with it. Buildroot can do it for
|
||||
you.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Buildroot automates the building of a root filesystem with all needed

tools like busybox. It makes it much easier than doing it by hand.</li>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>You might wonder why such a tool is needed when you can compile
|
||||
<code>gcc</code>, <code>binutils</code>, uClibc and all the tools by hand.
|
||||
Of course, doing so is possible. But dealing with all configure options,
|
||||
with all problems of every <code>gcc</code> or <code>binutils</code>
|
||||
version it very time-consuming and uninteresting. Buildroot automates this

version it very time-consuming and uninteresting. OpenWrt Buildroot automates this

process through the use of Makefiles, and has a collection of patches for

|
||||
<code>Makefile.in</code>, here is an example :</p>
|
||||
<p>To add your package to the build process, you need to edit
|
||||
the Makefile in the <code>package/</code> directory. Locate the
|
||||
lines that look like the following:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
ifeq ($(strip $(BR2_PACKAGE_FOO)),y)
|
||||
TARGETS+=foo
|
||||
endif
|
||||
package-$(BR2_PACKAGE_FOO) += foo
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As you can see, this short <i>Makefile</i> simply adds the
|
||||
target <code>foo</code> to the list of targets handled by Buildroot
|
||||
if software <i>foo</i> was selected using the configuration tool.</p>
|
||||
<p>As you can see, this short line simply adds the target
|
||||
<code>foo</code> to the list of targets handled by OpenWrt Buildroot.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In addition to the default dependencies, you make your package
|
||||
depend on another package (e.g. a library) by adding a line:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
foo-compile: bar-compile
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>The <i>.control</i> file</h3>
|
||||
<p>Additionally, you need to create a control file which contains
|
||||
information about your package, readable by the <i>ipkg</i> package
|
||||
utility.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The file looks like this</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
1 Package: foo
|
||||
2 Priority: optional
|
||||
3 Section: net
|
||||
4 Maintainer: Foo Software <foo@foosoftware.com>
|
||||
5 Source: http://foosoftware.com
|
||||
6 Description: Your Package Description
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can skip the usual <code>Version:</code> and <code>Architecture</code>
|
||||
fields, as they will be generated by the <code>make-ipkg-dir.sh</code> script
|
||||
called from your Makefile</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>The real <i>Makefile</i></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Finally, here's the hardest part. Create a file named
|
||||
<code>foo.mk</code>. It will contain the <i>Makefile</i> rules that
|
||||
<code>Makefile</code>. It will contain the <i>Makefile</i> rules that
|
||||
are in charge of downloading, configuring, compiling and installing
|
||||
the software. Below is an example that we will comment

||||
