Summary

0001324: Adding custom package does not include the editing of buildroot/package/Config.in

Description

The docs (http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html) [^] for adding a new package do not mention that you need to add an entry to the buildroot/package/Config.in file.

For example, to add the package foo, you might edit Config.in from
...
source "package/fakeroot/Config.in"
source "package/gettext/Config.in"
...

to

...
source "package/fakeroot/Config.in"
source "package/foo/Config.in"
source "package/gettext/Config.in"
...

Inserting the new package in the existing Config.in file in alphabetical order.

Additional Information

Until you figure this out, foo will never run.
