dependencies: build a host-tar if no suitable tar can be found

2012-02-09T21:59:21+00:00

Some toolchains, like the one built with buildroot itself, use hardlinks (for example to link between the c++ and g++ binary). Unpacking such a toolchain with the --strip-components options does not work correctly if the system tar is too old (<1.17). Even recent releases of RedHat/CentOS still ship with tar 1.15. This patch checks for a suitable tar version (tar 1.17+) on the host system, and adds host-tar to the host dependencies if none can be found. host-tar is download and extracted as cpio.gz instead of tar.gz, to prevent chicken-egg problem.

package: remove useless arguments from AUTOTARGETS

2011-09-29T21:12:27+00:00

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to repeat its name and the directory in which it is present. [Peter: pkgdir->pkgparentdir] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

uClibc: drop BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION option

2011-07-27T09:56:53+00:00

Remove the BR option and enable the configuration setting in the uClibc defconfigs. The BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION option only adds very little overhead to uClibc, and we have a number of packages needing it, so simply always enable it - Simplifying the kconfig logic and the number of choices users have to make.

buildroot: silence ./configure step when building with 'make -s'

2009-10-01T19:24:42+00:00

We have been passing -q to ./configure when using 'make -s' for packages using Makefile.autotools.in for some time. Do the same for packages using autotools, but not using the Makefile.autotools.in infrastructure, taking care to not do it for packages with hand written configure scripts.

package: Remove unnecessary dependencies on uclibc.

2009-09-03T18:22:38+00:00

A C library will have been built by the toolchain makefiles, so there is no need for packages to explicitly depend on uclibc. Signed-off-by: Will Newton Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

Fix PROGRAM_INVOCATION handling with external toolchains

2009-07-31T09:40:34+00:00

BR2_UCLIBC_PROGRAM_INVOCATION is a toolchain configuration option, like BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, on which some packages depend. Therefore, it should be handled like BR2_INET_IPV6 and BR2_INET_RPC in order to work properly with external toolchains. Since we move it out of toolchain/uClibc/Config.in into toolchain/Config.in.2, we rename the option to BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION (since BR2_INET_RPC and others don't have UCLIBC in their name).
