==== Package-specific _make_ targets

​

Running +make <package>+ builds and installs that particular package

and its dependencies.

​

For packages relying on the Buildroot infrastructure, there are

numerous special make targets that can be called independently like

this:

​

------------

make <package>-<target>

​

The package build targets are (in the order they are executed):
