Hi All

What is the difference between TOPDIR and BASE_DIR variables?

branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

$(BUILD_DIR) is a nice place to put files generated during the build.
With the advent of user-supplied step-hooks, they may want to store some information on the build.

Export BUILD_DIR to that effect; update manual accordingly.

Just like for the _post-build scripts_ mentioned above, you also have  access to the following environment variables from your
_post-image
 scripts_: +BUILDROOT_CONFIG+, +HOST_DIR+, +STAGING_DIR+, +TARGET_DIR+,
-+BINARIES_DIR+ and +BASE_DIR+.
++BUILD_DIR+, +BINARIES_DIR+ and +BASE_DIR+.
 
 Additionally, each of the +BR2_ROOTFS_POST_BUILD_SCRIPT+ and  +BR2_ROOTFS_POST_IMAGE_SCRIPT+ scripts will be passed the arguments

Dear Sagaert Johan,

TOPDIR is the root of the Buildroot source tree.

BASE_DIR is the root of where we do the build (i.e output/ by default,
but can be overridden with O=).

Best regards,

Thomas
