1This directory contains various useful scripts and tools for working 2with Buildroot. You need not add this directory in your PATH to use 3any of those tools, but you may do so if you want. 4 5brmake 6 a script that can be run instead of make, that prepends the date in 7 front of each line, redirects all of the build output to a file 8 ("'br.log' in the current directory), and just outputs the Buildroot 9 messages (those lines starting with >>>) on stdout. 10 Do not run this script for interactive configuration (e.g. menuconfig) 11 or on an unconfigured directory. The output is redirected so you will see 12 nothing. 13 14check-package 15 a script that checks the coding style of a package's Config.in and 16 .mk files, and also tests them for various types of typoes. 17 18genrandconfig 19 a script that generates a random configuration, used by the autobuilders 20 (http://autobuild.buildroot.org). It selects a random toolchain from 21 support/config-fragments/autobuild and randomly selects packages to build. 22 23get-developpers 24 a script to return the list of people interested in a specific part 25 of Buildroot, so they can be Cc:ed on a mail.
