-From 40bf9c0960becaf0e592cac901466af93f24e52b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
-From: Julius Kriukas <julius@kriukas.lt>
-Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2017 18:29:24 +0200
-Subject: [PATCH] Update Makefile to be compatible with buildroot
-
-- Append to existing CFLAGS instead of overwriting.
-- Remove cross-compilation specific options from CFLAGS, they will be
-  set by buildroot.
-- Remove local ffmpeg_compiled include, buildroot will build ffmpeg
-  separately.
-- Remove hard-coded dbus, freetype, rpi-firmware include paths, they
-  will be added by buildroot.
