Thomas Petazzoni ddd69b5609 libffi: switch to using a Git version, brings Microblaze and Xtensa support
We already had backported patches for the Blackfin and AArch64
support, and now we would have needed to also backport the Xtensa
support and the Microblaze support. This starts to get crazy.

Let's switch to using a Git version from Github, until libffi finally
releases a new stable version.

In order to achieve this, we also need to:

 * autoreconf the package, so that a libffi.pc file gets generated

 * manually install the libffi.pc file, because it doesn't get
   installed by libffi Makefile, for some reason

 * remove the part of the target post install hook that was messing
   with libffi.pc, since it was modifying the one in STAGING_DIR
   (which is odd for a target post install hook), and the libffi.pc
   file is anyway not installed to the target anymore.

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

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) Use your shiny new root filesystem. Depending on which sort of
    root filesystem you selected, you may want to loop mount it,
    chroot into it, nfs mount it 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!

Offline build:
==============

In order to do an offline-build (not connected to the net), fetch all
selected source by issuing a
$ make source

before you disconnect.
If your build-host is never connected, then you have to copy buildroot
and your toplevel .config to a machine that has an internet-connection
and issue "make source" there, then copy the content of your dl/ dir to
the build-host.

Building out-of-tree:
=====================

Buildroot supports building out of tree with a syntax similar
to the Linux kernel. To use it, add O=<directory> to the
make command line, E.G.:

$ make O=/tmp/build

And all the output files (including .config) will be located under /tmp/build.

More finegrained configuration:
===============================

You can specify a config-file for uClibc:
$ make UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=/my/uClibc.config

And you can specify a config-file for busybox:
$ make BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FILE=/my/busybox.config

To use a non-standard host-compiler (if you do not have 'gcc'),
make sure that the compiler is in your PATH and that the library paths are
setup properly, if your compiler is built dynamically:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3.orig HOSTCXX=gcc-4.3-mine

Depending on your configuration, there are some targets you can use to
use menuconfig of certain packages. This includes:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 linux-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 uclibc-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 busybox-menuconfig

buildroot mailing list: buildroot@uclibc.org
