Once you start tinkering with the packages you'll realize you need a way to
rebuld only one particular package, without rebuilding the whole project.
Is it even possible? Fortunately, yes. All you have to do after making changes
to the package configs is to step into the `output/` directory and run a couple
of commands:
to the package configs is to run a couple of commands:
```
make <package>-dirclean
make <package>-rebuild
make br-<package>-dirclean
make br-<package>-rebuild
```
where _\<package>_ is the name of the package you want to recompile. Although,
as Buildroot manual states,
> While `<package>-rebuild` implies `<package>-reinstall` and `<package>-reconfigure`
implies `<package>-rebuild`, these targets as well as `<package>` only act on
> While `br-<package>-rebuild` implies `br-<package>-reinstall` and `br-<package>-reconfigure`
implies `br-<package>-rebuild`, these targets as well as `<package>` only act on
the said package, and do not trigger re-creating the root filesystem image.
If re-creating the root filesystem in necessary, one should in addition run
`make` or `make all`.
Run `make linux-rebuild all` to rebuild Linux kernel image,
`make busybox-rebuild all` to rebuild busybox and pack it into a rootfs image.
Run `make br-linux-rebuild all` to rebuild Linux kernel image,
`make br-busybox-rebuild all` to rebuild busybox and pack it into a rootfs image.
