The upstream changelog for version 34 states that the next major version will drop the Autotools build, and the 34 series is meant for distros to switch. Notable changes in the Buildroot package: * The Meson build handles symlink install, so we can drop the post install hooks. * Simplify the merged-usr and merged-bin symlink install handling. Only the non merged-usr case needs special handling now for placing the correct symlink to block busybox placing it's only kmod applet symlink unto /sbin later. * The previous point also means that host-kmod now installs the full set of tools. * Explicitly disable openssl support in host-kmod tools. It is enabled by default and the build fails if OpenSSL cannot be found. In the autotools build it was not explicitly set.

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 https://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.
