* system: add option to pass extra args to post-build and post-image scriptsYann E. MORIN2013-07-101-7/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It can be useful to have different configuration use the same post-build and/or post-image scripts as they share a common infrastructure, but yet have minor differentiation. This option allows passing zero or more additional arguments to each post-build or post-image script. The same set of extra arguments are passed to all scripts, it is not possible to pass different arguments to each script.

* docs/manual: slightly reword the solutions to customize rootfsThomas Petazzoni2013-02-081-11/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The order of the solutions to customize the root filesystem is changed: we now mention the post-build script mechanism *before* the custom root filesystem skeleton mechanism, because the former is preferred over the latter. In addition to this, we give a few more details about direct customization of the root filesystem in output/target, and about the custom target skeleton solution.

* target/generic: add filesystem overlay optionArnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)2013-02-051-6/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | The filesystem overlay is a tree that is copied over the target fs after building everything - which is currently usually done in the post-build script.

* Makefile: don't export O to the environmentPeter Korsgaard2013-01-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Several projects use the kernel style O=<dir> syntax to build out of tree, and atleast uClibc doesn't check that it was explictly passed on the command line, so setting it in the environment breaks the build. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
* Makefile: export a few variables to help support scriptsYann E. MORIN2013-01-131-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support scripts (in support/) may need to parse the .config file, so give them an easy access to it, by exporting BUILDROOT_CONFIG with the fully- qualified path to .config. Also, post-build scripts may need to reference a few locations, so export those, too. Note: we export both O and BASE_DIR. Although they are the same, BASE_DIR is used internally, while O is used on the command line, which makes it a bit ambiguous to know which to use. As users use O= on the command line, they will probably tend to use that in their post-build scripts. Update doc accordingly. [Peter: fixed typo] Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* manual: rework the whole documentation stubSamuel Martin2012-11-151-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new skeleton of the manual as it has been thought: 1. About Buildroot: Presentation of Buildroot 2. Starting up: Everything to quickly and easily start working with Buildroot 3. Working with Buildroot Basics to make your work fitting your needs 4. Troubleshooting 5. Going further in Buildroot's innards Explaination of how buildroot is organised, how it works, etc 6. Developer Guidelines 7. Getting involved 8. Contibuting to Buildroot 9. Legal notice 10. Appendix It is easy to distinguish two parts in this plan: - Sections 1 to 4 mainly address people starting with Buildroot - Sections 5 to 10 are more focused on how to develop Buildroot itself Most of the existing sections have just been moved in the hierarchy, few were split and dispatch in, what i think was the relevant section, and numerous others have been created.

* New top-level directory: systemThomas Petazzoni2012-11-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This directory groups the following elements: * the default root filesystem skeleton * the default device tables * the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for getty, system hostname, etc.) * the make rules to apply the system configuration options Even though the skeleton and device tables could have lived in fs/, it would have been strange to have the UART, system hostname and other related options into fs/. A new system/ directory makes more sense. As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which has become useless in the process.
