| --- HOWTO --- |
| If your package uses config.guess and/or config.sub, then it probably |
| relies on the autotools as its build system. In this case, you should |
| use the autotools-package infrastructure, which will take care of updating |
| the config.guess and/or config.sub files appropriately. See the |
| Buildroot documentation for details about the autotools-package |
| infrastructure. |
| |
| If for some reason your package does not use the autotools-package |
| infrastructure, you can request the config.guess and/or config.sub |
| files of your package to be updated by using: |
| |
| $(call CONFIG_UPDATE,directory-of-your-package-sources) |
| |
| --- UPDATE --- |
| GNU config is now managed in git, so to update: |
| |
| # git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/config.git |
| # cp config/config.* . |
| # for p in $(ls patches/*.patch); do patch -p1 < $p; done |
| # rm -rf config |
| |
| Currently no patches are needed, but they may be needed again in the |
| future. |
| |
| The current Buildroot version is based on the Git commit |
| dafd8e767ec87b90aac62f0fcedd11944c84b50a of the config.git repository. |
