The 'local' site method is easily confused with the 'file' site method,
making people create packages like this:
FOO_SITE_METHOD = local
FOO_SOURCE = foo.tar.gz
$(eval $(generic-package))
Due to the intricacies of the generic package infra, this does not
cause an error; instead, the foo.tar.gz tarball that happens to be
present in the download directory will be used. This behaviour differs
greatly from what is specified in the manual.
Instead, error out immediately if a package specifies the 'local' site
method but does not specify a _SITE.
We check for _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR rather than checking for _SITE, just
after _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR has been set to _SITE. Indeed, a package that
sets _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR but not _SITE currently works correctly. There is
no reason to make it fail.

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.
