Improve gettext integration

2010-05-24T20:32:37+00:00

Having a BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT option, as introduced by 54d64798e1e14b526c3cc1142961972cff9f1e8a isn't sufficient to express the different kind of dependencies on gettext. This commit, based on an idea by Peter Korsgaard, introduces two different options : * BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT, which is true as soon as the toolchain doesn't provide gettext itself (i.e, when the toolchain is uClibc based, be it an internal or external toolchain) * BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT_IF_LOCALE, which is true when the toolchain doesn't provide gettext *and* locale support has been enabled in Buildroot. A following commit adds some documentation that details how these configuration variables should be used by packages. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

dependencies: check that . is not in the PATH

2010-05-21T22:56:14+00:00

Having . in the PATH makes the toolchain build process fail because it confuses host tools and target tools. This fixes bug #75. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

dependencies: fix tests on LD_LIBRARY_PATH

2010-05-21T22:56:14+00:00

Things like LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. or even LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:/usr/lib were not detected as incorrect. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

external toolchain: check BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP

2010-05-20T20:34:28+00:00

Verify that the value of BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP set by the user in the Buildroot configuration really matches the external toolchain capabilities by checking that a C++ cross-compiler is available. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

Add a BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT option

2010-05-20T20:34:27+00:00

When using an external toolchain that uses the glibc or eglibc C libraries, compiling a separate gettext and libintl is not needed and is even a source of confusion, causing build failures. These build failures are due to the fact that when libintl is compiled, it replaces the C library libintl.h by its own, which does #define gettext libintl_gettext. Then, when packages want to use gettext, autoconf realize that gettext is available in the C library and therefore do not add -lintl to the LDFLAGS, causing the build failure because the program has been compiled to use libintl_gettext but this function is not available. Therefore, we should only use gettext if a uClibc internal toolchain or a uClibc external toolchain. If an external glibc toolchain is used, gettext shouldn't be used. In order to implement that, we introduce the BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT option, which is hidden to the user, and whose value is computed automatically from the rest of the configuration.

libxcb: fix path to Python modules

2010-05-07T19:28:33+00:00

When building libxcb, the variable XCBPROTO_XCBPYTHONDIR must point to the location where the Python modules needed to run the c_client.py program are installed. The path $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages was hardcoded. However, it doesn't work when the version of Python installed on the host is Python 2.5. Therefore, add a little bit of magic to compute the host Python version. We also verify that Python is available on the host, as we don't build it in Buildroot. Fixes bug #1531.
