Each of the intermediate, per-rootfs target directories, as well as the intermediate tarball, can take quite some place, and is mostly a duplication of what's already in target/. The only delta, if any, would be the tweaks made by the filesystem image generations, but those tweaks are most probably only meaningful when seen as root. We normally do not remove intermediate files, but those can be quite large, and are not directly usable by, nor accessible to the user. So, get rid of them once the filesystem has been generated. This does not need to be done in fakeroot. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
