[Buildroot] offline buiding

[Steven Woody]

hi,

i am about to use buidroot to build a cross toolchain on a linux host.
 but the host does not get an internet connection.  after read the
intro of buildroot, i found it need to grab files on internet in the
building process.  is there an offline building mode? thanks.

then sun rose thinly from the sea and the old man could see the other
boats, low on the water and well in toward the shore, spread out
across the current.

buildroot caches everything to the "buildroot/dl" directory
(This can be changed by "make menuconfig")
so if you put all needed packages in that directory, you
do not need to have to be online.

You can 
$ make source
to automatically download all configured source tarballs for later
offline use.

Note that several packages are a bit buggy in this respect since they
lack a
foo-source:
target. These need to be fixed. Patches are -- as always -- welcome.

Attached patch should add these missing targets.

The convention is to put the foo-source target just below the rule to
download the source (plus eventual patches) so it's easier to see if the
-source needs adjustment to include eventual patches.

I corrected your patch accordingly (r17143).
Thanks!

:-( i cann't understand what you said 'foo-source' and the purpose of
the patch.  i think i will go to manually grab the tallballs needed.
it might be easier to me.

The foo-source was directed to Petr.

Either download the tarballs manually, or use a host with an
internet-connection. On that connected host, adjust your .config that
you want to build offline and issue
$ make source

Then transfer the content of the "dl" dir to your offline-host.

HTH,

Hi,

Get all the source packages and put it in the dl directory of your
buildroot root.
