I appear to have dug my self a reasonably deep hole and am hoping for some help before resorting to a fresh clone and then manually copying in files.
When I attempt to build things look pretty normal as all the host utilities are built then the make process skips all of the target packages and attempts to generate the root file system:
>>> host-mkpasswd buildroot-2015.11.1 Installing to host directory
/usr/bin/install -D -m 755 /data/Build/buildroot/output/build/host-mkpasswd-buildroot-2015.11.1/mkpasswd /data/Build/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin/mkpasswd
>>> Generating root filesystem image rootfs.ext2
Does anyone have any ideas on where to look into this problem?
