Most of the tools are useful only on virtualization hosts. After the upgrade to QEMU 7.2.0, it is possible to build only quemu-ga, which makes more sense when we build guest VM images. Also do not build the other tools by default if none of the emulators is selected, since the user does not necessarily wants them. Ideally, it should not be possible to select qemu without selecting at least one of the subcomponents but it is hard to guess what the user wants.

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.
