-/** @page building Building
-
-<i>This section describes how to build the Barebox bootloader.</i>
-
-@a Barebox uses Kconfig/Kbuild from the Linux kernel to build it's
-sources. It consists of two parts: the makefile infrastructure (kbuild)
-and a configuration system (kconfig). So building @a barebox is very
-similar to building the Linux kernel.
-
-In the examples below we use the "sandbox" configuration, which is a
-port of @a Barebox to the Linux userspace. This makes it possible to
-test the code without having real hardware or even qemu. Note that the
-sandbox architecture does only work well on x86 and has some issues on
-x86_64.
-
-\todo Find out about issues on x86_64.
-
-Selecting the architecture and the corresponding cross compiler is done
-by setting the following environment variables:
-
-- ARCH=\<architecture>
-- CROSS_COMPILE=\<compiler-prefix>
-
-For @p ARCH=sandbox we do not need a cross compiler, so it is sufficient
-to specify the architecture:
-
-@code
-# export ARCH=sandbox
-@endcode
-
-In order to configure the various aspects of @a barebox, start the
-@a barebox configuration system:
-
-@code
-# make menuconfig
-@endcode
-
-This command starts a menu box and lets you select all the different
-options available for the selected architecture. Once the configuration
-is finished (you can simulate this by using the default config file with
-'make sandbox_defconfig'), there is a .config file in the toplevel
-directory of the sourcecode.
-
-After @a barebox is configured, we can start the compilation:
-
-@code
-# make
-@endcode
-
-You can use '-j \<n\>' in order to do a parallel build if you have more
-than one cpus.
-
-If everything goes well, the result is a file called @p barebox:
-
-@code
-# ls -l barebox
--rwxr-xr-x 1 rsc ptx 114073 Jun 26 22:34 barebox
-@endcode
