针对的是:http://kamikaze.openwrt.org/docs/openwrt.html#x1-390002
1.If you want, you can also modify the kernel config for the selected target system. simply run "make kernel_menuconfig" and the build system will unpack the kernel sources (if necessary), run menuconfig inside of the kernel tree, and then copy the kernel config to target/linux/<platform>/config so that it is preserved over "make clean" calls. ---- 如果你愿意,你也可以修改内核配置为选定的目标系统。简单地运行“make kernel_menuconfig”和构建系统将解压缩内核源代码(如果有必要)。此命令会展示针对内核的配置选择界面,然后其结果再复制内核配置到目标/ linux的/<platform>/配置。这样得到的针对内核的.config文件,在"make clean"后依然是保留的。
2.During the build process, buildroot will download all sources to the "dl" directory and will start patching and compiling them in the "build_dir/<arch> " directory. When finished, the resulting firmware will be in the "bin" directory and packages will be in the "bin/packages" directory -- 在编译过程中,buildroot会将所有的源下载到“dl”目录下,并在“build_dir/<arch>”目录中对它们进行patch和编译。完成后,所产生的固件将在“bin”目录,而各个package将在“bin/packages"目录中
3.openwrt中的一个典型的package目录结构:
- package/<name>/Makefile --- 必须存在;其作用是定义下载包和编译包的步骤
- package/<name>/patches --- 可有可无;是对所下载包的修复和优化,即补丁
- package/<name>/files --- 可有可无;是此包特有的启动脚本和配置文件
4.openwrt中的一个典型的package目录结构(以backfire的package/bridge-utils为例)。其makefile的内容如下:
#
# Copyright (C) 2006-2008 OpenWrt.org## This is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License v2.# See /LICENSE for more information.#include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mkinclude $(INCLUDE_DIR)/kernel.mkPKG_NAME:=bridge-utils //The name of the package, as seen via menuconfig and ipkg。不过我在CPE上使用opkg list命令,看到的是bridge - 1.4-1;而通过make menuconfig看到的是 bridge(在Base System里面)。 此外,在package中有一个bridge-utils;在feeds/package中也有一个。到底这些如何对应呢?PKG_RELEASE:=1 //The version of this package MakefilePKG_SOURCE_URL:=@SF/bridge //Where to download the sources from (no trailing slash), you can add multiple download sources by separating them with a and a carriage return. @SF表示从SourceForge下载ifeq ($(CONFIG_LINUX_2_4),y) PKG_VERSION:=1.0.6 PKG_MD5SUM:=9b7dc52656f5cbec846a7ba3299f73bdendififeq ($(CONFIG_LINUX_2_6),y) PKG_VERSION:=1.4 //The upstream version number that we are downloading PKG_MD5SUM:=0182fcac3a2b307113bbec34e5f1c673 //A checksum to validate the downloadendifPKG_SOURCE:=$(PKG_NAME)-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.gz //The filename of the original sources,这里就是 bridge-utils-1.4.tar.gzinclude $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk //位于 backfire_10.03/include/package.mk,用于定义任何一个package下载的统一的方式脚本define Package/bridge SECTION:=net //The type of package (currently unused) CATEGORY:=Base system //Which menu it appears in menuconfig: Network, Sound, Utilities, Multimedia ...

再举一个稍微复杂的例子,package/dropbear(一个轻量级的ssh客户端与服务端开源),其目录中包含了:files(内含配置文件和启动脚本),patches(内含补丁)和Makefile;如下是Makefile:

在你创建你的 package/<NAME>/ Makefile文件后,新的软件包会自动在下一次运行“make menuconfig时”,出现在菜单中。如果选中,此该package将在下一次make中被自动编译
