How do I patch a buildroot recipe? -

i followed directions in buildroot documentation think may wrong. patch never gets applied.

to clear, not trying patch files in "output" directory, think directions describing. i'm trying patch files in "package" directory fix problem 1 of recipes.

does build root not allow patching of buildroot during build? or there trick it?

or need write script apply patch before running make?

also, there no error generated when building package in question, during patch step. should there 1 if patch malformed or not appliable?

thanks,

well, discovered, patching in buildroot (as other build system), refer patching source code of particular application. (in case files unpacked somewhere under output/build).

if need fix in how buildroot builds package, you'll need manually patch packages .mk , config.in (possibly adding patches etc). i'd recommend create local branch, , work there. allow merge in updates main buildroot tree.

if you're fixing build issues or else might of interest others, please submit patch buildroot mailing list.
