Best regards, Thomas I understand your point-of-view. I hope you also understand the frustration of a normal user which try to configure its own embedded system. In the website of buildroot I read: "Is very easy to set up, thanks to its menuconfig, gconfig and xconfig configuration interfaces, familiar to all embedded Linux developers. Building a basic embedded Linux system with Buildroot typically takes 15-30 minutes." I never had a working buildroot environment since several months! Of course I know I'm not an expert so I cannot fix the bugs by myself. I'm talking about a standard embedded systems (i.MX6 or RPi) with very common packages (Qt5, gstreamer). I also understand no charge is required and in fact I don't expect anything from the buildroot staff! But for a user it's not an option to delay for days or weeks a project because buildroot doesn't build. So I'm just wondering if it is possible to know which combination of kernel/buildroot version leads to a working environment with basic packages. For my current project based upon RPi I need only: - common utility: ssh (dropbear or openssh), lighttpd, etc (no problem here!) - Qt5 (all modules, egl platform) - gstreamer with mp3, mp4 h264 and qtmultimedia support By the way, I don't need Qt5.3, I could use 5.2 as well.
