Anton, All, Thanks for this contribution.

That it has a similar purpose as a variable of the same name in Kbuild (the linux kernel buildsystem) is just happenstance. Buildroot is not using Kbuild, nor is it even remotely based on Kbuild. After discussing among maintainers, we decided that we did not want to officially expose that variable. Regards, Yann E.

Perhaps. What is your use case for wanting to use an environment variable instead of the normal V=1 make argument?
Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>: >> Then maybe it's better to rename this variable into something like >> BR2_VERBOSE? > > Perhaps. What is your use case for wanting to use an environment > variable instead of the normal V=1 make argument? I have a Jenkins job, which builds Buildroot. I want to add a job parameter to enable verbose output. Jenkins job parameters are automatically exposed as environment variables. So I've named it KBUILD_VERBOSE and that's all, I shouldn't change any commands.
