  Where did you get this variable from? We don't use SOURCE_DIR.

  Buildroot doesn't check if you change anything in the source code. You 
have to explicitly force a rebuild with

make helloworld-rebuild all

  Hm, that section doesn't say anything about adding packages to 
buildroot. You should refer to 
http://buildroot.net/downloads/manual/manual.html#_the_literal_mk_literal_file

  OpenWRT is a different project, that forked from buildroot many years 
ago. There are a few similarities, but the OpenWRT documentation is 
useless for buildroot questions and vice versa.

  Err, you refer to /home/koehler/Desktop/Kernel/ldt/ in your 
helloworld.mk file...

  This looks good.

  This should be

HELLOWORLD_SITE = /home/koehler/Desktop/Kernel/ldt/
HELLOWORLD_SITE_METHOD = local
