[Buildroot] Controlling dependencies for package with manual Makefile

[Matthew Davison]

I understand that for packages using the autotools infrastructure, that
the PACKAGENAME_DEPENDENCIES variable (replacing PACKAGENAME
appropriately) is used to tell buildroot to build these dependencies
first. Setting this variable in a manual Makefile (non-autotools based),
does not appear to work.
 
Is there a way to force buildroot to build package dependencies first,
without having to convert to an autotools compliant Makefile?
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Matt
