Commitabce4a2b3"linux: add BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON3" [1] introduced a Kernel dependency on host-python3. Since the Kernel does not have any specific requirements on host Python modules, or recent host Python version, this commit replaces the host-python3 dependency with BR2_PYTHON3_HOST_DEPENDENCY. This will skip the host-python3 compilation if a sufficient version (3.4 or greater at the time of this commit) is already present on host. This will save build time. This optimization was suggested by Peter, in [2]. Note 1: this commit was checked to ensure that Kernel v6.10.9 arm64 defconfig (which does require a python3 interpreter to build) is working with Python 3.4. Note 2: BR2_PYTHON3_HOST_DEPENDENCY was introduced in commitb60729784"support/dependencies: add a check for python3" [3].

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 OFTC IRC.
