[Buildroot] Build root local site method

[Buildroot] Build root local site method

[Vasanth Ragavendran]

Hi

This is with reference to the download method which is specified while
compiling a new package. I'm writing certain programs which needs to be
cross compiled and run in my embedded board. In my <pkg>.mk file I'm
specifying the 'site' to the directory containing my source code and the
'site_method' to "local". I've made necessary changes to the Config.in
files in all locations. I am able to select this package of mine from the
menuconfig, however the package refuses to build for some unknown reason
neither does the build print any errors. It just quietly skips compiling
this package and finishes generating the file system. And the location
which I'm pointing to in the mk file contains the necessary source code.
I'm wondering what step I've skipped. Attaching the Config.in and <pkg>.mk
file which I've created for my package. Kindly help as I'm struck in this
and unable to proceed. I've referred to the manual but unable to solve this
issue.

And forgot to mention I'm using the latest buildroot version 2012.08. So it
should work but I'm not sure if I'm missing something. Plz help.

  FTPCLIENT_INSTALL_TARGET should be YES, in capitals, else it will NOT install.
(Actually, YES is the default so you can just remove that line).

  Maybe we should check that _INSTALL_TARGET etc. are either YES or NO.  But
I'm afraid that will make an empty make much slower again...  So maybe there
should be a 'make ftpclient-wtf-is-wrong-with-it' that does the checks :-)

  Regards,
  Arnout

Thanks you so much Arnout. It works fine. My mistake. I hadn't looked into
the case sensitive feature. Thanks again!
