Buildroot - menuconfig creates config, but won't make

I'm trying to use buildroot to create a cross-compiler toolchain for MIPS64 (little endian).

I have run make menuconfig and have set the target to MIPS64 (little endian). Also I am being told that the config file has been generated and I can run make (as below)

configuration written to /home/blah/Downloads/buildroot-2018.02.6/mipsel64.config

*** End of the configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to start the build or try 'make help'.

So, I then run make and I get the following:

Makefile:864: *** Please configure Buildroot first (e.g. "make menuconfig").  Stop.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • Try to copy your buildroot config file to .config file in your buildroot directory. It may look like:

    cp /home/blah/Downloads/buildroot-2018.02.6/mipsel64.config /home/blah/Downloads/buildroot-2018.02.6/.config

    assuming that /home/blah/Downloads/buildroot-2018.02.6/ is your buildroot compilation directory.

    Then try to do make.
