Hi Aditya,

There are a lot of steps in between. You need to take it one step at a time.

First check that your package is integrated into the buildroot system.

Assuming you called your package php, run the command below to see if
your package is integrated into the buildroot system:

make php-dirclean php

You should see at least the following (and usually a lot lot more):
>>> php Configuring
>>> php Building
>>> php Installing to target

If the the package is being compiled, but just missing from the target,
then watch carefully what happens during the 'Installing to target' step.

By the way, buildroot has a php package. Which version of buildroot are
you using?
