This script generates graphs of packages build time, from the timing
data generated by Buildroot in the $(O)/build-time.log file.
Example usage:
./support/scripts/graph-build-time \
--type=histogram --input=$(O)/build-time.log --output=foobar.pdf
Three graph types are available :
* histogram, which creates an histogram of the build time for each
package, decomposed by each step (extract, patch, configure,
etc.). The order in which the packages are shown is
configurable: by package name, by build order, or by duration
order. See the --order option.
* pie-packages, which creates a pie chart of the build time of
each package (without decomposition in steps). Packages that
contributed to less than 1% of the overall build time are all
grouped together in an "Other" entry.
* pie-steps, which creates a pie chart of the time spent globally
on each step (extract, patch, configure, etc...)
The default is to generate an histogram ordered by package name.

[yann.morin.1998@free.fr: adapt to the format of the step-hooks build-time.log,
add sort order by name, default to name-ordered histogram, use our colours
for pie-charts, add alternate color-scheme, add short-options, add
--input/-i]

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:
1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) Use your shiny new root filesystem. Depending on which sort of
root filesystem you selected, you may want to loop mount it,
chroot into it, nfs mount it on your target device, burn it
to flash, or whatever is appropriate for your target system.
You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun!
Offline build:
==============
In order to do an offline-build (not connected to the net), fetch all
selected source by issuing a
$ make source
before you disconnect.
If your build-host is never connected, then you have to copy buildroot
and your toplevel .config to a machine that has an internet-connection
and issue "make source" there, then copy the content of your dl/ dir to
the build-host.
Building out-of-tree:
=====================
Buildroot supports building out of tree with a syntax similar
to the Linux kernel. To use it, add O=<directory> to the
make command line, E.G.:
$ make O=/tmp/build
And all the output files (including .config) will be located under /tmp/build.
More finegrained configuration:
===============================
You can specify a config-file for uClibc:
$ make UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=/my/uClibc.config
And you can specify a config-file for busybox:
$ make BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FILE=/my/busybox.config
To use a non-standard host-compiler (if you do not have 'gcc'),
make sure that the compiler is in your PATH and that the library paths are
setup properly, if your compiler is built dynamically:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3.orig HOSTCXX=gcc-4.3-mine
Depending on your configuration, there are some targets you can use to
use menuconfig of certain packages. This includes:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 linux-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 uclibc-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 busybox-menuconfig
