| 99 | |
| 100 | Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that makes it easy generate a |
| 101 | cross-compilation toolchain and root filesystem for your target Linux |
| 102 | system using the <a href= "http://www.uclibc.org/">uClibc C library</a>. |
| 103 | Buildroot is useful mainly for people working with small or embedded |
| 104 | systems. Embedded systems often use processors that are not the regular |
| 105 | x86 processors everyone is used to using on their PC. It can be PowerPC |
| 106 | processors, MIPS processors, ARM processors, etc. And to be extra safe, |
| 107 | you do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. |
| 108 | |
| 109 | <p> |
| 110 | |
| 111 | And as of today buildroot even has its own webpage, making it a first class |
| 112 | citizen of uclibc.org and busybox.net, and more importantly, make it easy |
| 113 | to find and point to buildroot. |
| 114 | |
| 115 | <p> |
| 116 | |
| 117 | If you find a bug in buildroot, or wish to submit a patch to fix a problem |
| 118 | or add a shiny new feature, please use the <a |
| 119 | href="http://bugs.uclibc.org/">Bug and Patch Tracking System</a> to post |
| 120 | the details, to make certain your work is not lost. |
