[Buildroot] compiling package/libcgi before my cgi code

[Sridhar Addagada]

Hi,
I'm working to implement web management on our device, and have enabled lighttpd, and created a new directory under packages (packages/mycgi) where i put in my xxx-cgi.c code.? I need to make sure that libcgi compiles before my cgi sources are compiled.? Here is the makefile I've cooked up.? Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

You use rather use the new-style GENTARGETS format, and simply add
WEBCFG_DEPENDENCIES = libcgi like you already did. For details, see the
documentation:
