Our kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch hasn't been kept up to date with all
the changes made into package/config, and a single patch wasn't very
practical to maintain all our changes. Therefore, this commit adds a
package/config/patches directory, which contains a Quilt series of
patches that correspond to our modifications to the kconfig mechanism.
The huge kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch has been split into 16 smaller
patches. The purpose of some of the modifications has been clearly
identified, while some others were not identified.
The 16 patches together do match exactly the old
kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch. We have been very careful in making sure
that we wouldn't loose any of our modifications.
The only modifications made are :
* Instead of renaming the kernel Makefile to Makefile.kconfig and
naming the Buildroot Makefile just 'Makefile', we instead keep the
original package/config/Makefile from the kernel
scripts/kconfig/Makefile and name the Buildroot Makefile
package/config/Makefile.br. The main Buildroot Makefile is modified
accordingly.
* The documentation README.buildroot2 is updated to explain how to
upgrade to a newer version of scripts/kconfig.
* The kconfig-language.txt documentation is removed, as anybody can
easily find it in the kernel sources so there's no need to
duplicate it here.

Recent versions of ldconfig require the directory /var/lib/ldconfig,
otherwise they bail out with an error. Moreover, having a

In addition to this, we remove the redirection of stderr, so that

Including a bunch of Makefiles with wildcard makes it impossible to add
new toolchain backends. Avoid that by namely including needed files.
The external toolchain still needs to include all the toolchain/*/*.mk
sub-makefiles, as they are needed to build a toolchain that runs on the
target. It is to be noted that the cross-toolchain is not built in this
case, as the make-targets to build the cross-toolchain are not present
in the $(BASE_TARGETS) variable, which is later used to create the
dependency rules.
Also, the comment 'Explicit ordering' has been removed, as it is mis-
leading. It is make's responsibility to create the proper ordering based

Likewise, when changing between using O= or not (or simply running

Lay down the path to add more than two toolchain kinds:
- check the type of toolchain as:
ifeq (toolchain_buildroot,y)
blabla buildroot-specific
else ifeq (toolchain_external,y)
blabla external-specific
endif
- prefer using positive checks, a-la:
ifeq (foo,y)
instead of:
ifneq (bar,y)
(where foo and bar are mutually exclusive)
- have the toolchain_buildroot case always appear first
- gettext is handled differently, because we want to add an option
only if not using the buildroot toolchain, hence we use ifneq.

The "project" feature was designed to allow to several projects to be
built inside the same Buildroot source tree and allowing the toolchain
and non-configurable packages to be shared between the different
projects on the same architecture. While being interesting in theory,
this feature adds a level of complexity to Buildroot, both from an
user perspective and from a developer perspective, while one of the
main Buildroot strengh is to be simple. Moreover, this feature is only
seldomly used by our users.
From a user-level perspective, this for example allows to remove the
project_build_ARCH directory, which was very confusing. The
autotools-stamps directory is also removed, since these stamps are
back at their normal location.
Description of the changes involved :
* project/, directory removed
* Makefile
- Don't include project/Makefile.in and project/project.mk anymore
- Grab a copy of the contents of project/Makefile.in at the
location it was imported, but remove the definition related to
PROJECT_BUILD_DIR. The TARGET_DIR is now in
$(BUILD_DIR)/target_dir
- Remove the creation/removal of the $(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR) and
$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/autotools-stamps directories
- Don't make world depends on target-host-info. This target was
defined by project/project.mk to customize /etc/issue,
/etc/hostname and create /etc/br-version depending on the
project definitions. We can of course imagine re-adding such a
feature later.
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR everywhere
- Remove the update, log and lognr.$(PROJECT) target, they were
specific to the project feature.
* package/Makefile.autotools.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR for the location of the
configure cache
- Move the INSTALL_TARGET and HOOK_POST_INSTALL stamps to the same
directory as the other stamps (i.e, in the package directory).
* package/Makefile.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR for the location of the
configure cache
* package/at/at.mk,
package/busybox/busybox.mk,
package/busybox/initramfs.mk,
package/customize/customize.mk,

- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR
- Store the stamps file in $(STAMP_DIR) instead of

Remove toolchain build dir, and don't try to remove the non-existing include

we're already removing that dir.
Add BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE_PURGE / BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE_WHITELIST options to
remove unwanted locales from the target rootfs. Handy for stuff like
the gtk stack, which comes with ~25 MB locales.
Works similar to localepurge in Debian, E.G. you provide a white list
of wanted locales, and everything else is removed.
Move stamp (dependency) files outside the (version specific) source
directories, so other packages can hardcode dependencies on them instead
of having to use <PACKAGE>_VERSION variables.
This is important as the variables in the make rules are evaluated when
the rules is seen, which might be before the dependent makefile is parsed
(and hence <PACKAGE>_VERSION variable is known, screwing up stuff.
The downside of this is that the package isn't automatically rebuilt
when the version changes (E.G. by a svn update) and you now also have to
remove the stamp files next to $(BUILD_DIR)/<PACKAGE>-* to force a rebuild.
I often find myself forgetting what those targets were called, and I imagine
others may not even be aware of their existence.

HOST_GLIB is set to the path that contains the host glib tool set and is
used when building packages using glib. The buildroot top level Makefile
sets HOST_GLIB using which to find the path where glib-genmarshal is
located.
The problem is that a cross compiled version of glib-genmarshal is also
put in the build_ARCH/staging_dir/usr/bin directory when the package
libglib2 is built. This cross compiled version will typically not run on
the host system.
Fix it by ignoring staging_dir in the which output.

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.

Mark empty directories in target skeletons with .empty files
and remove them while copying to target (like it's already done for
svn and cvs files) to better support version control system which don't
handle empty directories (E.G. git-svn).

to package/config in order not to mess up the corresponding timestamps (to avoid superfluous rebuilds)..
=========================================================
The purpose of the BSP patch is to allow building
several boards inside the same buildroot tree.
For this to work, each board has to have its
own "$(TARGET_DIR)" and all *configurable* packages
must be rebuilt for each board.
They are now built in the "$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)"
All non configurable packages can and should still
be built in the "$(BUILD_DIR)".
If a package is built for one board, then when
you build for a second board of the same architecture
the build becomes a simple copy of the resulting
binaries.
-----
Define BR2_PROJECT which will be used as the selector
between different boards. Note that BR2_PROJECT allow
you to build multiple root file systems for a single
board, and should not be confused with BR2_BOARD_NAME
which relates to the H/W.
-----
Define PROJECT_BUILD_DIR as "PROJECT_BUILD_DIR/$(PROJECT)"
Define BINARIES_DIR as "binaries/$(PROJECT)"
Define TARGET_DIR as "$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/root"
(some prefix/postfix may apply)
Resulting images are stored in "$(BINARIES_DIR)"
-----
Define a few new environment variables in Makefile
PROJECT: Stripped BR2_PROJECT
DATE: Date of build in YYYY-MM-DD format
HOSTNAME: Stripped BR2_HOSTNAME => /etc/hostname
BANNER: Stripped BR2_BANNER => /etc/issue
Linux and Busybox will be built in $(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)
More patches will be needed later to ensure all
configurable packages are built in this directory.
This also provides a nice up-to-date filestamp if something got reconfigured (e.g. c++ support got toggled) that can be used in the future to depend accordingly.
This patch changes the way the top level Makefile searches for a
<board>_defconfig file, it will only look in the target/ directory and its sub
directories.
The patch also enables loading a defconfig even if there already is a .config.
