Thomas De Schampheleire 569db40574 manual: high-level restructuring
The structure of the buildroot manual is not always clear. There is a large
number of chapters, and some chapters seem to overlap. The distinction
between general usage and developer information is not always clear.

This patch restructures the manual into four large parts:
- getting started
- user guide
- developer guide
- appendix

Except for the names of these parts, the section names are not yet changed.
Content-wise there are no changes yet either. This will be handled in
subsequent patches.

In order to achieve the introduction of a new level 'parts' above
'chapters', the section indicators (=, ==, ===, ...) of several sections
have to be moved one level down. Additionally, the leveloffset indication to
asciidoc has to be removed. Finally, to maintain more or less the same level
of detail in the table of contents, the toc.section.depth attribute is
reduced as well. Note that for some sections, less detail is visible now.

==== 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):
[width="90%",cols="^1,4",options="header"]
|===================================================
| command/target | Description
| +source+ | Fetch the source (download the tarball, clone
the source repository, etc)
| +depends+ | Build and install all dependencies required to
build the package
| +extract+ | Put the source in the package build directory
(extract the tarball, copy the source, etc)
| +patch+ | Apply the patches, if any
| +configure+ | Run the configure commands, if any
| +build+ | Run the compilation commands
| +install-staging+ |
*target package:* Run the installation of the package in the
staging directory, if necessary
| +install-target+ |
*target package:* Run the installation of the package in the
target directory, if necessary
| +install+ |
*target package:* Run the 2 previous installation commands
*host package:* Run the installation of the package in the host
directory
|===================================================
Additionally, there are some other useful make targets:
[width="90%",cols="^1,4",options="header"]
|===================================================
| command/target | Description
| +show-depends+ | Displays the dependencies required to build the
package
| +graph-depends+ | Generate a dependency graph of the package, in the
context of the current Buildroot configuration. See
xref:graph-depends[this section] for more details about dependency
graphs.
| +dirclean+ | Remove the whole package build directory
| +rebuild+ | Re-run the compilation commands - this only makes
sense when using the +OVERRIDE_SRCDIR+ feature or when you modified a file
directly in the build directory
| +reconfigure+ | Re-run the configure commands, then rebuild - this only
makes sense when using the +OVERRIDE_SRCDIR+ feature or when you modified a
file directly in the build directory
|===================================================
