How to add a new package?

Hi,

I tried to add a new package. Like discribed at
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html i created a Config.in and package.mk. If I add a line in buildroot/.config and type 'make', the package will be add to my created root filesystem.

But how can I add the package that I can activate the software with 'make menuconfig' ?
At a page that I found by google, I raed that I have to add my Config.in at buildroot/package/Config.in. But after 'make menuconfig' there isn't an entry for my new software.

What have I to do, to get an entry in menuconfig for my software?

Don't send me an personal e-mail since it will be filtered by my

In package/Config.in add a:

source "package/your_package/Config.in"
Replace "your_package" with the directory name of your added package

Somewhere that makes sense for the package you are adding.

Thanks for the answer, but I had added the line before. Have I to run something else, than 'make menuconfig'? Have I to run 'make clean' or something else?

No, just "make menuconfig". If the menu entry doesn't appear, it's probably because your Config.in changes are not correct.

Can you send the patch corresponding to your Buildroot modifications ? That way, instead of trying to guess in the dark, we could actually help you.

Sincerly,

Thanks, that was a good hint. I forgot a letter at the 'depends on' line.
Because there was no package selected with this wrong name, I couldn't see it in the configuration.
