Compare: http://git.buildroot.org/buildroot http://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/ The former (without the ending '/') is always up-to-date, while the latter (with the ending '/') often lags behind, by up to a few days. > I will use that.

Nope, that's probably your mailer trying to be too smart, and replacing all '@' sy,mbols with '' in an attempt to thwarte spammers from harvesting email addresses. > Thanks Yann.

Reviews are here to catch problems in the submissions, and to direct the submitter to the adequate ressources to fix potential issues. A good way to add a new package in Buildroot is to: - look at the manual: http://buildroot.net/downloads/manual/manual.html - look at existing packages > Slightly off topic question but what would be your recommendation > about taking an existing package compiled for and written for a > regular Linux host (i.e. Mint) and integrating it into Buildroot? > Convert the traditional Makefile into CMake?

Buildroot can handle a few common, generic build systems and types of packages, as you'll see in the manual ;-) : - autotools, - cmake - python - lua - perl But it also handles packages with a specific build system, such as plain Makefiles. So, it is not required to convert packages to include them in Buildroot. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. > On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 9:20 AM, Yann E.
