BRN:Software:Build and Distribution:SDE

If you have built your toolchain, it may be useful to use the same toolchain on other machines or shared it with other developers.

Creating a Standard Development Environemnt

To reallise this, create a container for the directory buildroot and copy the necessary files into it. You can choose between a tarball or filesystem image, which can be loop mounted into your running Linux development machine.

Tarball

To create a tarball with all binaries and include files, run:

$ tar czf sde-wgt-toolchain.tar.gz openwgt-dev/buildroot/build_mipsel/staging_dir

The tarball will created as sde-wgt-toolchain.tar.gz.

To extract it, run:

$ TOOLCHAIN_PATH=/sde-wgt-toolchain  # or any other location, you prefer
$ mkdir -p $TOOLCHAIN_PATH
$ tar xzf sde-wgt-toolchain.tar.gz -C $TOOLCHAIN_PATH --no-same-owner
