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.

Using the generated toolchain outside Buildroot
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You may want to compile, for your target, your own programs or other
|
|
software that are not packaged in Buildroot. In order to do this you
|
|
can use the toolchain that was generated by Buildroot.
|
|
|
|
The toolchain generated by Buildroot is located by default in
|
|
+output/host/+. The simplest way to use it is to add
|
|
+output/host/usr/bin/+ to your PATH environment variable and then to
|
|
use +ARCH-linux-gcc+, +ARCH-linux-objdump+, +ARCH-linux-ld+, etc.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to relocate the toolchain - but then +--sysroot+ must
|
|
be passed every time the compiler is called to tell where the
|
|
libraries and header files are.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to generate the Buildroot toolchain in a directory
|
|
other than +output/host+ by using the +Build options -> Host dir+
|
|
option. This could be useful if the toolchain must be shared with
|
|
other users.
