A basic Fedora 42 container does not have 'awk' installed, but it is needed by Buildroot. First by check-host-python3.sh: support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 6: awk: command not found support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 19: awk: command not found support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 19: awk: command not found but then even building host-expat assumes awk is available: config.status: creating Makefile ./config.status: line 1404: awk: command not found config.status: creating expat.pc ./config.status: line 1404: awk: command not found Since it's a pretty basic tool, make it part of the tools checked by dependencies.sh. One minor annoyance is that check-host-python3.sh is executed *before* dependencies.sh does its thing, so when 'awk' is not available, we end up seeing: support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 6: awk: command not found support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 19: awk: command not found support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 19: awk: command not found which: no awk in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin) You must install 'awk' on your build machine make: *** [support/dependencies/dependencies.mk:27: dependencies] Error 1 It would be nice to have the awk check *before* it gets used in check-host-python3.sh, but that's a topic for another patch.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
