For some packages, we may need to have a certain set of host-tools built before the download of said packages are attempted. For example, when the system tar is not suitable, we will want to build our own tar before we attempt a git download (because we generate a tarball in the git backend). Mimick the _EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES, and introduce _DOWNLOAD_DEPENDENCIES. As for _EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES, we do not document _DOWNLOAD_DEPENDENCIES, on the assumption that it is mostly for internal use.

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. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
