* packages: add ability for packages to create usersYann E. MORIN2013-04-251-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Packages that install daemons may need those daemons to run as a non-root, or an otherwise non-system (eg. 'daemon'), user. Add infrastructure for packages to create users, by declaring the FOO_USERS variable that contain a makedev-syntax-like description of the user(s) to add. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* package: remove scripts listed in <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS from targetThomas Petazzoni2013-02-081-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | The <foo>-config scripts are useless on the target, since they are only needed for development, so we remove them automatically.

* 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.

* 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>

* manual: rework the whole documentation stubSamuel Martin2012-11-151-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new skeleton of the manual as it has been thought: 1. About Buildroot: Presentation of Buildroot 2. Starting up: Everything to quickly and easily start working with Buildroot 3. Working with Buildroot Basics to make your work fitting your needs 4. Troubleshooting 5. Going further in Buildroot's innards Explaination of how buildroot is organised, how it works, etc 6. Developer Guidelines 7. Getting involved 8. Contibuting to Buildroot 9. Legal notice 10. Appendix It is easy to distinguish two parts in this plan: - Sections 1 to 4 mainly address people starting with Buildroot - Sections 5 to 10 are more focused on how to develop Buildroot itself Most of the existing sections have just been moved in the hierarchy, few were split and dispatch in, what i think was the relevant section, and numerous others have been created.

With the renaming of XXXTARGETS to xxx-package, the names of the pkg-xxx.mk files is inconsistent, as well as some internal names in the documentation. These inconsistencies are cleaned up here.
