* system: add option to pass extra args to post-build and post-image scriptsYann E. MORIN2013-07-101-7/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It can be useful to have different configuration use the same post-build and/or post-image scripts as they share a common infrastructure, but yet have minor differentiation. This option allows passing zero or more additional arguments to each post-build or post-image script. The same set of extra arguments are passed to all scripts, it is not possible to pass different arguments to each script.

* dependencies: remove a few useless mandatory dependenciesThomas Petazzoni2013-03-241-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | awk, bison, flex, makeinfo, gettext should be built as dependencies of packages when needed. In practice, even the toolchain build doesn't need any of these, and only a few packages do require them. It is not needed to list gzip and bzip2 since they are already checked through ${DL_TOOLS}: whenever a package needs gzip or bzip2 for its extraction, the dependency is added.

* rework patch modelSimon Dawson2013-03-193-3/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the Buildroot Developers Meeting (4-5 February 2013, in Brussels) a change to the patch logic was discussed. See http://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysFOSDEM2013 for details. In summary: * For patches stored in the package directory, if package/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply package/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch, otherwise, apply package/<pkg>/*.patch * For patches stored in the global patches directory, if $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch, otherwise, apply $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/*.patch This patch adds the new BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR configuration item, and reworks the generic package infrastructure to implement the new patch logic.

* package: rename <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP to <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTSThomas Petazzoni2013-02-081-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit renames the newly introduced <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP variable to <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS, for two reasons: * <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS will not only "fixup" the scripts in $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin, but also remove them from $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin. So it is not only about doing a "fixup". * On the principle, it is strange that the variable carries an indication of the action that will take place on those files. It should rather be named to say "Here are the <foo>-config scripts", and let the package infrastructure decide if it should fix them up, remove them, etc. This commit also updates the documentation accordingly.

* Make savedefconfig save to a configured file.Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)2013-02-051-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Store BR2_DEFCONFIG in .config, and use it to update the original input defconfig file after updating the configuration. When a config is created by using the BR2_DEFCONFIG=... option, this is saved in the .config file; later runs of savedefconfig will update that same location. It is also possible to configure this place in the interactive configuration. The BR2_DEFCONFIG value itself is not saved into the generated defconfig, since Kconfig considers it at its default. This is intentional, to avoid hard-coding an absolute path in the defconfig. It will anyway be set again when the defconfig is used with the 'make BR2_DEFCONFIG=... defconfig' command. As a side-effect of this change, the *config options have been moved out of the BR2_HAVE_DOT_CONFIG condition. This doesn't make any functional difference, because the .config is still not read for the *config targets. However, the defconfig and savedefconfig targets do need to include .config now, which makes them slightly slower.

* pkg-infra: add <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP to fix *-config filesStefan Fröberg2013-02-041-27/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch will add <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP variable to buildroot infra. It's purpose is to inform buildroot that the package in question contains some $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/*-config files and that we want to automatically fix prefixes of such files. It is often the case that many packages call these files during their configuration step to determine 3rd party library package locations and any flags needed to link against them. For example: Some package might try to check the existense and linking flags of NSPR package by calling $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/nspr-config --prefix. Without this fix. NSPR would return /usr/ as it's prefix which is wrong when cross-compiling. Correct would be $(STAGING_DIR)/usr. All packages that have <pkg>_INSTALL_STAGING = YES defined and also install some config file(s) into $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin must hereafter also define <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP with the correspondig filename(s). For example: DIVINE_CONFIG_FIXUP = divine-config or for multiple files: IMAGEMAGICK_CONFIG_FIXUP = Magick-config Wand-config Signed-off-by: Stefan Fröberg <stefan.froberg@petroprogram.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
