The cmake build appears to be missing features, such as pkg-config
generation support which is needed for some packages to find re2, like
qt5webengine.
Upstream is not keen on fixing the CMake-based buildsystem [0]
Instead of patching it on our side, and then have to carry the patch
forever, we switch to the Makefile-based generic buildsystem.
Note that previously some packages like grpc failed when the generic
Makefile was used, because they would not find the cmake-equivalent
of pkg-config, but this is now fixed [1].

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. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
