Building a raspberry pi OS using Buildroot

[drpilot]

every time I modify the packages (menuconfig) and make, buildroot downloads everything again. how to make offline builds/ do not download again the same packages ? in the manual it is said :

Code: Select all

8.4. Offline builds
If you intend to do an offline build and just want to download all sources that you previously selected in the configurator (menuconfig, nconfig, xconfig or gconfig), then issue:

 $ make source
You can now disconnect or copy the content of your dl directory to the build-host.

I don't even know where (build-host) is, I found the packages I used for making the last build in (dl) what should I do next.

thank you for your time.

i suggest finding a new tutorial, try youtube if your a hands-on worker(like most of us pi guys). or try different means of setup. for more information try this

there aren't much tuto's for buildroot . the best resource is the huge manual that doesn't explain offline builds well
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/m ... ine_builds
no response from buildroots mail list / no results in google / youtube ...
THIS FORUM IS MY LAST CHANCE .

There is the elinux wiki and i guess build root have a mailing list could try asking at..

Perhaps you could set up a local server to respond to what ever request are made with files you all ready have localy ?..
