System requirements
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Buildroot is design to run on Linux system.
|
|
|
|
Buildroot needs some software to be already installed on the host
|
|
system; hereafter the lists of the mandatory and optional packages
|
|
(package names may vary between distributions).
|
|
|
|
Take care of _installing both runtime and development data_, especially
|
|
for the libraries that may be packaged in 2 distinct packages.
