Hi,

Please mail the buildroot mailing list in the future so other people
can help as well.

I'm afraid the java stuff may have bitrotted or is incomplete - I have
never tried it in all the time I have been working on buildroot, and I
don't ever remember any questions and/or patches about it on the list.

Anyone else?

The ntpl branch of uclibc is supposed to be merged real-soon-now, but
I don't actually know much more about it. I would suggest to stick to
the default linuxthreads for now.

 Jackson> Thanks for you time,

You're welcome.

 gsam> 1. Is there a log file output of the make when building from buildroot?

Not automatically, but just run

make 2>&1 | tee buildroot.log

to generate a buildroot.log of the output of make.

 gsam> 2. Is there anyway to verify the buildroot installation after make completes?

What do you exactly mean? Some way of booting the rootfs?
