Thomas, All,
On 2013-12-04 19:56 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> This commit allows the BR2_EXTERNAL directory to contain Config.in and
> Makefile code, which gets integrated into the Buildroot build logic:
>
> - Buildroot automatically includes the $BR2_EXTERNAL/Config.in in the
> top-level configuration menu.
>
> - Buildroot automatically includes the BR2_EXTERNAL/external.mk in
> the build logic, so it can for example be used to include other .mk
> files that define package recipes.
>
> This is typically intended to be used to create target packages in the
> BR2_EXTERNAL directory, but can also be used for bootloaders, host
> packages, or other custom make logic.
>
> We also add a dummy Config.in file in support/dummy-external/ to
> ensure that the source "$BR2_EXTERNAL/Config.in" line will point to an
> existing file even when BR2_EXTERNAL is not used by the user.
