![]() Recently a build failure was reported which was traced back to to the fact that the user had a TOOLCHAIN_VERSION environment variable set which leads to a strange looking error message: toolchain/toolchain/toolchain.mk:40: *** TOOLCHAIN_SITE cannot be empty when TOOLCHAIN_SOURCE is not. Stop. Environment variables automatically gets converted to make variables by GNU make - E.G. from the manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Environment.html): Variables in make can come from the environment in which make is run. Every environment variable that make sees when it starts up is transformed into a make variable with the same name and value So we end up in make with TOOLCHAIN_VERSION set to the value of the environment variable. As virtual packages do not have a version, there is no explicit TOOLCHAIN_VERSION = .. line in toolchain.mk overriding this value, and the logic in package/pkg-generic.mk sets a default value for TOOLCHAIN_SOURCE when TOOLCHAIN_VERSION is set, and finally errors out as TOOLCHAIN_SITE isn't set. As a workaround, explicitly set <pkg>_VERSION and <pkg>_SOURCE to the empty string in the virtual package infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com> |

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
