What's the 'correct' way to force a rebuild of a package?  I am trying to build Qt/E and Konqueror and I have to make tweaks to some of the header files.  Make doesn't pick up on the changes (no surprise).

So how do I tell make to force a rebuild of a single package, no matter if there are .configure and .built files present?

Thanks,

You can use any of the following:

make package/foo-clean (wipes out the ipkg and the directory in build_mipsel)
make package/foo-mostlyclean (performs a "make clean" in the package's build_mipsel)
make package/foo-prepare (downloads the source, unpacks to build_mipsel and patches)
make package/foo-compile (self explaintory)
make package/foo-install  (produces the ipkg file in bin/packages)
make package/foo-rebuild (alias for "mostlyclean, compile")

The above steps also produce files in the package's directory
.prepared
.configured
.built

You can manually remove any one of those and run make which will force it to perform that step again. And yes, I know the build system is an undocumented mess -- the buildroot-ng rewrite should solve the issues.

That has most of the useful things to be able to do in it

make package/madplay-rebuild

Is probably what you want

Well, the commands I've given aren't specific to the packages directory; you can pretty much replace "package/foo" with any directory: packages, toolchain, target -- or any subdirectory of those. It works the exact same way.

OK, cool. Actually, it's a pretty amazing thing...  I'm trying to port my project to it, because it provides a really rigid structure - and makes it nearly idiot proof.  Except when idiots like me run amuck all over it.  :-)
