[Buildroot] Q. How to use a custom kernel tree?

[Jeremy Rosen <jeremy.rosen@openwide.fr>]

simplest is to set a local.mk containing

LINUX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR=<path to your uncompressed source>


this will use your directory as the sources.

there is also an option to specify the config file.

with those two you should be good
