dependencies: check that SSL certificates are installed

2013-03-24T13:00:31Z

Some packages are hosted on https:// servers, and wget only works on these if the SSL certificates are installed. For example, downloading the kernel sources from kernel.org requires those SSL certificates to be installed. [Peter: fix typo] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

dependencies: check that a full perl installation is available

2013-03-24T12:57:31Z

The host-autoconf build process requires a full Perl installation, or at least a Perl installation that has the Data::Dumper module installed. On a basic Debian system, only 'perl-base' is installed, but Data::Dumper is in the 'perl' package. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

dependencies: test all programs before bailing out

2013-03-24T12:56:45Z

The current dependencies code abort as soon as one program is missing. It is quite annoying when multiple programs are missing. Instead, bail out if needed after testing all programs. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

dependencies: remove a few useless mandatory dependencies

2013-03-24T12:51:21Z

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.

Infrastructure to warn the user about missing 32 bits libraries

2013-01-06T20:35:47Z

Many users trying to use external toolchains on x86-64 machines get a very confusing message: "Can't execute cross-compiler" They get this message because they forgot to install the 32 bits compatibility libraries that are needed to run binaries compiled for x86 on x86-64 machines. Since this is the case for both external toolchains and certain binary-only tools like SAM-BA, we add a new Kconfig option BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_LIBS, that packages must select if they need the 32 bits compatibility libraries. When this option is enabled, dependencies.sh checks that the 32 bits dynamic library loader is present on the system, and if not, it stops and shows an error. The path and name of the 32 bits dynamic loader is hardcoded because it is very unlikely to change, as it would break the ABI for all binaries. Also, it is worth noting that the check will be done even if we're running on a 32 bits machine. This is harmless, as 32 bits machines necessarily have the 32 bits dynamic loader installed, so the error will never show up in this case.

target: add option to set the root password

2012-12-30T17:00:16Z

Add an option in the menuconfig to specify a root password. If set to empty, no root password is created; otherwise, the password is encrypted using MD5 (MD5 is not the default for crypt(3), DES-56 is, but MD5 is widely available, not-so-strong, but not-so-weak either). Add a check for 'mkpasswd' as a new dependency. [Peter: fix typo/capitilization and simplify logic] Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
