* external-toolchain: Support for multilib toolchainsThomas Petazzoni2010-04-171-11/+79
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Multilib toolchains provide different versions of the base libraries for different architecture variants. For example, the ARM Codesourcery toolchain provides base libraries for ARMv5 (default), ARMv4t and Thumb2. Depending on the -march= argument passed to gcc, the sysroot used by the compiler is therefore different. This means that the sysroot location in CROSS-gcc -v cannot be used. Instead, we must use CROSS-gcc -print-sysroot when available and fall back to the old way if unavailable. Moreover, we cannot simply copy the full sysroot as we used to do, because the sysroot organization of multilib toolchain is more complicated. In Codesourcery toolchains, we have : / etc -- for ARMv5 lib -- for ARMv5 sbin -- for ARMv5 usr -- for ARMv5 (includes headers) armv4t etc -- for ARMv4t lib -- for ARMv4t sbin -- for ARMv4t usr -- for ARMv4t (no headers!) thumb2 etc -- for Thumb2 lib -- for Thumb2 sbin -- for Thumb2 usr -- for Thumb2 (no headers!) So we have the default ARMv5 architecture variant that is installed in the main directory, and we have subdirectories for the ARMv4t and Thumb2 architecture variants. Copying the full sysroot to the staging directory doesn't work. All our packages are based on the fact that they should install libraries in staging/usr/lib. But if ARMv4t is used, the compiler would only look in staging/armv4t/usr/lib for libraries (even when overriding the sysroot with the --sysroot option, the multilib compiler suffixes the sysroot directory with the architecture variant if it matches a recognized one). Therefore, we have to copy only the sysroot that we are interested in. This is rendered a little bit complicated by the fact that the armv4t and thumb2 sysroot do not contain the headers since they are shared with the armv5 sysroot. So, this patch : * Modifies how we compute SYSROOT_DIR in order to use -print-sysroot if it exists. SYSROOT_DIR contains the location of the main sysroot directory, i.e the sysroot for the default architecture variant. * Defines ARCH_SUBDIR as the subdirectory in the main sysroot for the currently selected architecture variant (in our case, it can be ".", "armv4t" or "thumb2"). ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR is defined as the full path to the sysroot of the currently selected architecture variant. * Modifies copy_toolchain_lib_root (which copies a library to the target/ directory) so that libraries are taken from ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR instead of SYSROOT_DIR. This ensures that libraries for the correct architecture variant are properly copied to the target. * Modifies copy_toolchain_sysroot (which copies the sysroot to the staging/ directory), so that it copies the contents of ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR, and if needed, adds the headers from the main sysroot directory and a symbolic link (armv4t -> . or thumb2 -> .) to make the compiler believe that its sysroot is really in armv4t/ or thumb2/. Tested with Codesourcery 2009q1 ARM toolchain, Crosstool-NG ARM glibc and ARM uClibc toolchains. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
* external-toolchain: support libraries outside of /libThomas Petazzoni2010-04-171-10/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The copy_toolchain_lib_root function was making the assumption that all libraries were stored inside the /lib directory of the sysroot directory. However, this isn't true for certain toolchains, particularly for the libstdc++ library. The function is therefore reworked to find the library and its related symlink either in /lib or /usr/lib in the sysroot, and copies it at the same location in the target directory.

* toolchain: fix using external toolchains built with buildrootYann E. MORIN2010-04-071-8/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The toolchains built with buildroot use specially crafted paths for their sysroot and prefix. Fix that by asking gcc where it finds a file we know by relative path to the sysroot. This has the side effect of greatly simplifying the sysroot detection in every cases tested so far (BR toolchains, CT-NG toolchains, and CodeSourcery toolchains). Fixes bug #851. Thanks Thomas Petazzoni for the hint and some testings. Thanks Grant Edwards for the report and the comments. Signed-off-by: Yann E.

* Fix PROGRAM_INVOCATION handling with external toolchainsThomas Petazzoni2009-07-311-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* external toolchain: check cross-compiler existenceThomas Petazzoni2009-07-171-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | As a minimal test to the external toolchain, check that $(TARGET_CC) is actually an existing executable file. That way, if the user misconfigures the toolchain path and/or prefix, a meaningful error message will be shown. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | Lionel Landwerlin <lionel.landwerlin@openwide.fr> reported that using the external toolchain support when LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 doesn't work, since the messages printed by gcc -v are translated in another language, defeating the grep ^Configured test.

* Improve external toolchain checksThomas Petazzoni2009-06-151-0/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds some checks on the external toolchains. First, it checks that the C library selection is correct, by looking if gcc is able to find the main C library file through the -print-file-name option. Then, it attempts to check if the Buildroot toolchain options match the configuration of the toolchain : * for glibc, it checks that IPv6, RPC, locales, wide-char, large file support Buildroot options are enabled, since with glibc all these features are always available (at least this is the assumption we make) ; * for uClibc, it checks the Buildroot options with the uClibc configuration file in $SYSROOT_DIR/usr/include/bits/uClibc_config.h Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
* Simple glibc-based external toolchain supportThomas Petazzoni2009-06-152-23/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current Buildroot works just well with sysrootable glibc toolchains, using the external toolchain feature. The only thing that needs to be customized is the set of libraries that must be compiled to the target. The following patch takes a simple approach to making it easier for users to use glibc toolchains. It just adds a uClibc/glibc choice in the external toolchain menu. Then, depending on that selection, the configuration system will choose a sane default value for the library files list. The other advantage of having a uClibc/glibc choice is that in the future, we'll be able to add checks verifying that the external toolchain configuration matches the features selected in Buildroot (in terms of IPv6, RPC, locales or large file support).

* toolchain: use same gdb Config.in for internal/external toolchainsPeter Korsgaard2008-12-152-81/+77
| | | | | | | | | | We used to use different gdb configs for internal and external toolchains because mconf won't source the same file twice. This works, but is kind of sub optimal, as people forget to keep them in sync. Fix it to use the same file for both situations by shuffling around the config options a bit. Should work identical to before (except for the newer gdb versions available for ext).
* Another external toolchain support solutionThomas Petazzoni2008-12-131-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * In toolchain/external-toolchain/ext-tool.mk, copy the contents of the sysroot directory to the staging dir. * In package/Makefile.in, add a --sysroot CFLAGS pointing to the staging dir * Remove the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS definition from TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS. I haven't investigated exactly why, but with these options, DirectFB fails to build because it cannot find PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP, even if DirectFB's Makefile properly sets -D_GNU_SOURCE. I have already sent this patch on December, 2nd to the mailing-list, but got no feedback. So let's commit and see what happens :-) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
* External toolchain C++ cross-compiler fixPeter Korsgaard2008-11-031-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | External toolchain C++ cross-compiler fix package/Makefile.in resets CXX to "" in TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS if BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX is not set to 'y'. However, when using an external toolchain, BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX is not set even if the toolchain has a C++ cross-compiler. This patch adds a new BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX option in the external toolchain configuration menu, so that just like BR2_INET_RPC, BR2_INET_IPV6 and the others, it can be set according to the external toolchain configuration.

* More external toolchain fixesPeter Korsgaard2008-11-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix issues with binary external toolchains Fix two problems encountered while using an external binary toolchain generated by crosstool-ng: - Don't remove the ending / in LIB_DIR, otherwise find $LIB_DIR -maxdepth 1 doesn't find any file in the case LIB_DIR is a symbolic link and not a directory. For some reason, find -maxdepth 1 doesn't have the same behaviour on directories and symbolic links. Demonstration: $ mkdir foobar $ touch foobar/t1 $ touch foobar/t2 $ ln -s foobar barfoo $ find foobar -maxdepth 1 -name 't*' foobar/t1 foobar/t2 $ find barfoo -maxdepth 1 -name 't*' $ find barfoo/ -maxdepth 1 -name 't*' barfoo/t1 barfoo/t2 * Make sure the libraries are writable, otherwise the strip operation might fail. The library files may not be writable if the toolchain is not writable (which may happen if one wants to prevent anyone from overwriting the toolchain, which is done by crosstool-ng, for example).

* External toolchain support improvementsPeter Korsgaard2008-11-031-13/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve external toolchain support * Do not put kernel-headers in the dependencies of BASE_TARGETS in the case where BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SOURCE is not y. The kernel headers are already supposed to be part of the external toolchain, so there's no need to download, extract and install them. * In the configuration system, don't display the kernel headers version selection list when an external toolchain is selected. This is implemented by moving the source "toolchain/kernel-headers/Config.in" inside the if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SOURCE in toolchain/Config.in.2. * Change the description and help message of the BR2_LARGEFILE, BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, and BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option in toolchain/external-toolchain/Config.in. In the case of an external toolchain, the semantic of these options is not to enable large file support, IPV6 or RPC (since the toolchain is already compiled, it has been decided previously). Their semantic is to let Buildroot know about the characteristics of the external toolchain being used. As an improvement, we could guess these values automatically: - for BR2_LARGEFILE, look at the value of __UCLIBC_HAS_LFS__ in bits/uClibc_config.h in the libc headers directory. - for BR2_INET_RPC, look at the value of __UCLIBC_HAS_RPC__ in the same file - for BR2_INET_IPV6, look at the value of __UCLIBC_HAS_IPV6__ in the same file - for BR2_SOFT_FLOAT, look at the output of $(CC) -v 2>&1 | grep -- "--with-float=soft" But I'm not sure how this would be possible, since these values are used at configuration-time by other configuration options, not only at build time.
