If you maintain several Buildroot trees, it might be better to have a
|
|
|
-shared download location. This can be accessed by creating a symbolic
|
|
|
-link from the +dl+ directory to the shared download location:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
- $ ln -s <shared download location> dl
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Another way of accessing a shared download location is to create the
|
|
|
-+BUILDROOT_DL_DIR+ environment variable. If this is set, then the
|
|
|
-value of DL_DIR in the project is overridden. The following line
|
|
|
-should be added to +<~/.bashrc>+.
|
|
|
+shared download location. This can be achieved by pointing the
|
|
|
++BUILDROOT_DL_DIR+ environment variable to a directory. If this is
|
|
|
+set, then the value of +BR2_DL_DIR+ in the Buildroot configuration is
|
|
|
+overridden. The following line should be added to +<~/.bashrc>+.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
$ export BUILDROOT_DL_DIR <shared download location>
