However, the manual already has a section about this topic, see: http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_using_the_generated_toolchain_outside_buildroot Maybe it should be extended to contain more details, but at least it would be nice to not duplicate the information in the manual. Thanks a lot! Thomas

I was talking with Yann about this on the IRC earlier, and he suggested I add it to the manual. I should have looked a bit closer. Or maybe I misunderstood, and maybe he meant I should extend the part that was already there to add what we talked about on the IRC (wrapper, etc). > Maybe it should be extended to contain more details, but at least it > would be nice to not duplicate the information in the manual. What's there is pretty good. I wish I had found it before I had the problems I was having (which ultimately stemmed from not using --sysroot). Thanks for all you do for buildroot. It's a great tool. Sorry for the noise.... Alan.
