Hello William,

you might want to look at
http://free-electrons.com/blog/buildroot-2011-11/ , especially the
source directory override mechanism.

This is when you modify the mypkg.mk file, what you probably do not want
to do.

Just read the next chapter.

[Buildroot] wanna compile busybox and uclib with self modified code, please help

[hacklinux]

according to the guidelines i made attempt as follow:

/home/wangk/buildroot-2012.11.1 is where buildroote preject locate in server machine, under this directory a local.mk was created the snapshot of the project is as follow:

[root at buildroot-2012.11.1]# ls
arch   boot     config         Config.in         configs  dl    fs     local.mk  Makefile.legacy  package  system
board  CHANGES  config_custom  Config.in.legacy  COPYING  docs  linux  Makefile  output           support  toolchain

and then variable LINUX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /home/wangk/linux-2.6.39 was aslo added in the local.mk file. after this i made menuconfig and in Build options -> location of a package override file i gave the location where local.mk locate and  the value is as follow:

($(TOPDIR)/local.mk) location of a package override file

however, when i tried to rebuild the project an error was posted concerning linux kenel  that is :

[root at buildroot-2012.11.1]# make
--2013-08-28 11:25:08--  http://www.kernel.org/pub//linux/kernel/v2.6//linux-2.6.39.tar.bz2
Resolving www.kernel.org... failed: No address associated with hostname.
wget: unable to resolve host address ?.ww.kernel.org?
--2013-08-28 11:25:08--  http://sources.buildroot.net//linux-2.6.39.tar.bz2

make: *** [/home/wangk/buildroot-2012.11.1/dl/linux-2.6.39.tar.bz2] Error 1
[root at buildroot-2012.11.1]# 

very confused about this, is there anything wrong with i  configure? 

By the way ,  within the article variable concerning linux source override is given, what about variables concerning busybox and uClib ?

is there any  way to rebuild only part of  buildroote project, i mean, for example just rebuild kerenl  or  busybox, uClib etc . thx.

Best regards
wang

/I am not sure about this. In my .config there it is:

BR2_PACKAGE_OVERRIDE_FILE="$(TOPDIR)/local.mk"

Maybe the paranthesis break it.

You can substitute LINUX by any packet name you want. Isn't that written
in the manual?

  Perhaps you are using an internal toolchain? In that case buildroot 
also needs to install kernel headers (as part of the toolchain), and this 
is handled separately. So you should also add this to you local.mk:

LINUX_HEADERS_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /home/wangk/linux-2.6.39

Dear Arnout Vandecappelle,

Originally, William said he wanted to modify Busybox and uClibc. So why
would using LINUX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR or LINUX_HEADERS_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR be
useful for that?

I'm thinking that William has read the LINUX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR example in
some slides or documentation, without realizing that it's actually
<pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR and that therefore if the intent is to make some
modifications to Busybox, BUSYBOX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR should be used.

Also, note that both linux-headers and uclibc became real packages
*after* the 2013.05 release. So if anyone is using 2013.05 or earlier,
those aren't packages, and the override source directory feature cannot
be used.

Best regards,

Thomas

Dear hacklinux,

Please do not reply to me directly, keep the Buildroot mailing list in
Cc.

It depends for which package you want to use the override source
directory feature.

That said, the override source directory feature is just an additional
"help". You can also make your source modifications separately, create
some patches, and import those patches in Buildroot once you're done
doing your changes. For components that are simple to build outside of
Buildroot (like Busybox), it's probably the easiest option.

We do not support Linux 2.4. Linux 2.6 itself is almost 10 years old.
If you're still stuck at Linux 2.4, I believe that the absence of
Buildroot support for it will be the smallest of your problem. A lot of
userspace libraries and components will most likely use new system
calls or Linux kernel features that were not available in Linux 2.4, so
you would also have to use very old userspace components.

I have no idea. Maybe because your e-mails are all base64 encoded
instead of being plain text e-mails? Or something else. I don't use
hotmail, so I have no idea, sorry.

[Buildroot] wanna compile busybox and uclib with self modified code, please help

[hacklinux]

Dear 
thomas:
i got buildroot-2013.08.1 package and created the local.mk file, the content of the file is as follow:
BUSYBOX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /home/wangk/busybox-1.21.1UCLIBC_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /home/wangk/uClibc-0.9.33.2
when i tried the make cmd the compile error occured which is as follow:
ROSS_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE  -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wcast-qual -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition  -isystem ./include   -fpic -g -DIN_LIBGCC2 -fbuilding-libgcc -fno-stack-protector   -fpic -I. -I. -I../.././gcc -I../../../libgcc -I../../../libgcc/. -I../../../libgcc/../gcc -I../../../libgcc/../include  -DHAVE_CC_TLS  -DUSE_TLS -o _gcov_execv.o -MT _gcov_execv.o -MD -MP -MF _gcov_execv.dep -DL_gcov_execv -c ../../../libgcc/libgcov.c../../../libgcc/generic-morestack-thread.c:41:21: fatal error: pthread.h: No such file or directorycompilation terminated.make[2]: *** [generic-morestack-thread.o] Error 1make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/wangk/buildroot-2013.08.1/output/build/host-gcc-intermediate-4.7.3/build/i686-buildroot-linux-uclibc/libgcc'make[1]: *** [all-target-libgcc] Error 2make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/wangk/buildroot-2013.08.1/output/build/host-gcc-intermediate-4.7.3/build'make: *** [/home/wangk/buildroot-2013.08.1/output/build/host-gcc-intermediate-4.7.3/.stamp_built] Error 2
i knew the reason for this error is miss of pthread.h, but how should i config the busybox to solve the problem.
Best regards.
