I do this on the command line:

make && echo Buildroot success || echo Buildroot error

You can easily extend this by creating a small script, e.g. build.sh:

----8<----
#!/bin/sh

handle_success()
{
  echo Buildroot built successfully
  # ...
}

handle_failure()
{
  echo Buildroot failed
  # ...
}

make && handle_success || handle_failure
----8<----
