All options are possible of course, but option 1) is the one that will
allow you to re-use your software as-is. We already have gtk+ support
in Buildroot, and I don't think that gtkmm has many more dependencies
outside of gtk+, so it should be relatively easy to integrate into
Buildroot.

There is some documentation in the Buildroot sources, run 'make manual'
to generate the documentation.

You can also read the documentation online at
http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot.html.

Best regards,
