'make' tips
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Because Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches, there are a few
|
|
things that are useful to know, such as:
|
|
|
|
+make *config+ commands offer a search tool. Read the help message in
|
|
the different frontend menus to know how to use it:
|
|
|
|
* in _menuconfig_, search tool is called by pressing +/+;
|
|
* in _xconfig_, search tool is called by pressing +ctrl+ + +f+.
|
|
|
|
The result of the search shows the help message of the matching items.
|
|
|
|
Display all commands executed by make:
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
$ make V=0|1 <target>
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Display all available targets:
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
$ make help
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Note that some settings in the +.config+ file may hide some targets:
|
|
|
|
* +busybox-menuconfig+ depends on whether +busybox+ is enabled or not
|
|
in the +Package selection+ menu
|
|
* +linux-menuconfig+ and +linux-savedefconfig+ depend on whether
|
|
+linux+ is enabled or not
|
|
* +uclibc-menuconfig+ depends on whether the toolchain uses the
|
|
Buildroot internal toolchain backend or not
|
|
* +ctng-menuconfig+ depends on whether the toolchain uses the
|
|
crosstool-NG backend or not
|
|
* +barebox-menuconfig+ and +barebox-savedefconfig+ depend on whether
|
|
+barebox+ bootloader is enabled or not
|
|
|
|
Delete all build products (including build directories, host, staging
|
|
and target trees, the images and the toolchain):
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
$ make clean
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Delete all build products as well as the configuration:
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
$ make distclean
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Note that if +ccache+ is enabled, running +make clean|distclean+ does
|
|
not empty the compiler cache used by Buildroot. To delete it, refer
|
|
to xref:ccache[].
