+        directory. If this option is specified then Crypto++ source code in
+        CRYPTOPP_PATH directory will be automatically compiled. Crypto++ library

+- CRYPTOPP_LIBDIR
+
+        For Armada37x0 only, use this parameter to point to the directory with

+- CRYPTOPP_INCDIR

+        For Armada37x0 only, use this parameter to point to the directory with
+        header files of Crypto++ library. By default it points to the CRYPTOPP_PATH.
 
 
 For example, in order to build the image in debug mode with log level up to 'notice' level run
