Finally, here's the hardest part. Create a file named Makefile. It will contain the Makefile rules that are in charge of downloading, configuring, compiling and installing - the software. Below is an example that we will comment - afterwards.

First of all, this Makefile example works for a single binary software. For other software such as libraries or more complex stuff with multiple binaries, it should be adapted. Look at - the other Makefile files in the package + the other Makefile files in the package/ directory.

Lines 17-19 defines a target and associated rules that - uncompress the downloaded tarball. As you can see, this target - depends on the tarball file, so that the previous target (line - 14-15) is called before executing the rules of the current - target. Uncompressing is followed by touching a hidden file - to mark the software has having been uncompressed. This trick is - used everywhere in Buildroot Makefile to split steps - (download, uncompress, configure, compile, install) while still - having correct dependencies.
