BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS is a bit special. When Busybox is enabled, it is a Busybox option. When Busybox is not enabled, it is a stand-alone option, forcibly enabled. So we can safely 'select' it without ensuring (via a 'depends on' or another 'select') that Busybox is enabled. However, the name of this option does not express the fact that it is safe to select it without checking Busybox, which can lead to a bit of time-consuming head-scratching. To avoid future puzzlement from an unsuspecting observer, add a a big fat comment that this option can be selected without any dependency on Busybox. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

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.
