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.

README

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make'
2) select which packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) Use your shiney new root filesystem. Depending on which sortof
root filesystem you selecter, you may want to loop mount it,
chroot into it, loop mount it and then nfs mount that on your
target device, burn it to flash, or whatever is appropriate
for your target system.

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun!
