Introduce BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_{UCLIBC, GLIBC}

2013-07-04T07:08:42+00:00

Currently, when we need to do a conditional on the type of C library used, we need to take into account the three toolchain backends. As we are going to add eglibc support to the Buildroot toolchain backend, it would become even uglier, so this patch introduces two new hidden options: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC, that exist regardless of the toolchain backend. The entire Buildroot code base is converted to use those options. Note that we have intentionally created only one option (BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC) for both glibc and eglibc, since they are essentially the same, as far as Buildroot is concerned.

elfutils: needs wchar

2013-01-07T20:59:56+00:00

elfutils contains a call to wmempcpy, which is only available when the toolchain has wchar support, so add the dependency. Also display a comment if the toolchain dependencies are not met. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

elfutils: make available on uClibc toolchains

2013-01-07T20:47:24+00:00

We finally have all the pieces needed to allow the build of elfutils on uClibc. Only the libraries can be built, the programs remain available only for glibc/eglibc toolchains. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

elfutils: towards uClibc support: disable po build

2013-01-07T20:46:16+00:00

Building the po/ directory complains that the scripts in there have been generated with gettext 0.17, while we use gettext 0.18 in Buildroot. Since we don't care that much about po files anyway, just disable the build of this directory. Heavily based from work done by Stefan Fröberg, but with many further modifications by Thomas Petazzoni.

elfutils: towards uClibc support: FTS functions

2013-01-07T20:45:03+00:00

The fts_*() functions are optional in uClibc, and not compiled in our default configuration. The best option would be to migrate this elfutils code to the nftw family of functions, but it requires quite some work. So we have several options here: *) Enable fts_*() functions in our default uClibc configuration. Not nice since only one package needs them (the help text of uClibc for fts_*() functions explicitly mention that they have been added to be able to build elfutils). *) Use gnulib, but it is quite heavy to setup, requires modifications to configure.ac, and other things. *) Copy the fts function from uClibc into elfutils source code. This is the solution used below. uClibc is LGPL, and elfutils is LGPL/GPL, so there should not be any licensing issue. Of course, the fts_*() functions are only built if they are not already provided by the C library. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

elfutils: towards uClibc support: gettext

2013-01-07T20:44:56+00:00

elfutils is annoying: it needs gettext even if locale support is disabled... Heavily based from work done by Stefan Fröberg, but with many further modifications by Thomas Petazzoni. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

elfutils: towards uClibc support: requires largefile

2013-01-07T20:43:46+00:00

elfutils unconditionally uses off64_t for example, so largefile is needed. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

elfutils: towards uClibc support: solve memcpy problem

2013-01-07T20:43:06+00:00

elfutils uses some strange internal alias of memcpy in glibc, so workaround this when building with uClibc. Heavily based from work done by Stefan Fröberg, but with many further modifications by Thomas Petazzoni. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard
