<h2>Testing Buildroot for an Architecture</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<h4>scripts/mkpkg script</h4>
|
||||
If you want to test the build of a single package you can use the mkpkg script.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<li>$ scripts/mkpkg PACKAGE</li>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Will make the board, and save the result in a log file.
|
||||
The log file resides in
|
||||
<li>$ log/OK/PACKAGE.log.OK</li>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
if the build succeeds and in
|
||||
<li>$ log/OK/PACKAGE.log.FAIL</li>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
if it cannot complete.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
By creating an alias
|
||||
<li>alias mk=scripts/mkpkg</li>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
it is enough to type
|
||||
<li>$ mk PACKAGE</li>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
mkpkg will only print out the <h4>{PACKAGE}......OK</h4> or <h4>{PACKAGE}......FAIL</h4>
|
||||
depending on success or failure making it easy to get an overview
|
||||
of the status of this specific architecture.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It is recommended to build a simple board before running the test
|
||||
to get some basic things done.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<h4>scripts/buildall.sh script</h4>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
By running this script you will run scripts/mkpkg on
|
||||
a lot of the packages available in Buildroot.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You need to run the script while in the TOP directory.
|
||||
I.E: Where you typically run make.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are a few lacking, for no very good reason,
|
||||
but these can be easily added.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that some packages will not build properly
|
||||
if you do not enable them using makeconfig.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Examples are:
|
||||
<li>freetype</li>
|
||||
<li>socat</li>
|
||||
</p>
