[Buildroot] Running Packages

[Buildroot] Running Packages

[Aditya Rawat]

Okay this my first attempt of adding custom packages to Buildroot where I
added  the "Php" package along with all its extensions.
After the build when I try the updated image it does seem to have the php
package installed
I tried "php -v" in shell and it could not find anything :(

Is there something I am missing the equation ?, maybe more any other
configuration that is required.

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?

Regards,
Dimitris

Thank your for the insight Dimitris , the Buildroot environment is
quite aged( Released February 28th, 2011) but has php :D >>
https://github.com/j1nx/buildroot-AmLogic

The original Buildroot environment above had php5.2 so I replaced only
the /package/php dir with the one which had a php5.3
(http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=aeb9350cfbd2f4675f0d095394660cc0c2cc0d7b)
Seems like it missing it target altogether, I will try the "make
php-dirclean php" and post my findings.

  The package infrastructure has changed in the mean time, so copying the 
directory won't work.  You can either cherry-pick the commit in git

git cherry-pick aeb9350cfbd2f467

or you can modify the last line of php.mk into:

$(eval $(call AUTOTARGETS,package,php))
