[Buildroot] how to x-compile an in-house shared library ?

[David Picard <davepiq@yahoo.fr>]

Hi,

Well, OK, I didn't think the program had to be built by BR too. Anyway, 
I read various documents a bit more ; I think I am starting to bite it.

*** Another question, though :
As I am building out of tree, is there a way to patch package/Config.in 
automatically, just like $(BR2_EXTERNAL)/package/*/*.patch are applied 
automatically ?

I'm using qmake (with Qt Creator) for both the library and the program. 
I'll take package/qwt as an example.

David.
