Subject: [Buildroot] Documentation question
Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 20:39:45 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <hfp1uh$6fk$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
I've been reading the "buildroot usage and documentation"
document over the past couple days, and in order to not be a
complete leech, I'm fixing various minor problems (typos,
spelling, punctuation, usage, grammar, etc.) and will submmit a
patch when I've finished.
However, I've run across one paragraph where I think the actual
content could use a tweak, and I thought I should ask about it
before making a change. In the section "Using Buildroot"
there's a paragraph that describes what the top-level "make"
does:
$ make
This command will download, configure and compile all the
selected tools, and finally generate a toolchain, a root
filesystem image and a kernel image (or only one of these
elements, depending on the configuration).
Doesn't the toolchain have to be generated _before_ the
selected tools are configured and compiled?
IOW, "generate a toolchain" seems to me to be in the wrong
place in the sequence. Right?
