Therefore, Buildroot provides a specific mechanism for this use case:
|
|
|
the +<pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR+ mechanism. Buildroot reads an _override_
|
|
|
file, which allows the user to tell Buildroot the location of the
|
|
|
-source for certain packages. By default this _override_ file is named
|
|
|
-+local.mk+ and located in the top directory of the Buildroot source

|
|
-tree, but a different location can be specified through the

-+BR2_PACKAGE_OVERRIDE_FILE+ configuration option.

|
|
|
+The default location of the override file is +$(CONFIG_DIR)/local.mk+,
|
|
|
+as defined by the +BR2_PACKAGE_OVERRIDE_FILE+ configuration option.
|
|
|
++$(CONFIG_DIR)+ is the location of the Buildroot +.config+ file, so
|
|
|
++local.mk+ by default lives side-by-side with the +.config+ file,
|
|
|
+which means:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* In the top-level Buildroot source directory for in-tree builds
|
|
|
+ (i.e., when +O=+ is not used)
|
|
|
+* In the out-of-tree directory for out-of-tree builds (i.e., when
|
|
|
+ +O=+ is used)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If a different location than these defaults is required, it can be
|
|
|
+specified through the +BR2_PACKAGE_OVERRIDE_FILE+ configuration
|
|

+option.

In this _override_ file, Buildroot expects to find lines of the form:
