  hello,
  i have luckfox pico ultra w with buildroot running on it. i want to add mbutil tools/package externally in buildroot. i have tried following steps to add but still not seeing entry in buildrootconfig:
  1)mkdir mbutil in package
  2)add Config.in and mbutil.mk file
  then it should be make entry in buildroot config menu to enable but it has not.

  Code: Select all

  Config.in
  config BR2_PACKAGE_MBUTIL
      bool "mbutil"
      depends on BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3
      help
        Install mbutil (Mapbox MBTiles utility)
      source "package/mbutil/Config.in"

  Code: Select all

  mbutil.mk
  MBUTIL_VERSION = master
  MBUTIL_SITE = https://github.com/mapbox/mbutil.git
  MBUTIL_SITE_METHOD = git
  
  define MBUTIL_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS
  	$(INSTALL) -D -m 0755 $(@D)/mb-util $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin/mb-util
  endef
  
  $(eval $(generic-package))

  can you please share following:
  1)how to add packages externally
  2)any limitation to add
  3)any reference or steps to add libraries
  
  Thank you !
