This new infrastructure allows to write simpler .mk files for packages
not using the autotools as their build system, by factorizing many
common steps (download, extract, patching), and will more easily allow
Buildroot-wide changes in how the packages are handled.
The main macro is called GENTARGETS and works similarly to the
AUTOTARGETS macro that already exists for autotools-based
packages. However, the set of variables to be defined before calling
the macro is different. Refer to the documentation for details.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH adds a path to the pkg-config search path, but this is not
enough when we are building host tools - the host pkg-config default path
is still used, and this will pick up .pc files in the staging_dir tree.
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR overrides the pkg-config default path and ensures only
host .pc files are found. This fixes a pango build failure when building
for the host with cairo PNG support enabled.

In the output directory, we now have
- build/ where all the packages are built
- images/ where the final kernel and rootfs images are stored
- staging/ the staging directory (containing the development files
and libraries compiled for the target)
- target/ which contains the target root filesystem
- host/ which contains all the host programs
- stamps/ which contains the stamps files
Therefore, the build_ARCH and toolchain_build_ARCH have been
removed. People willing to use the same Buildroot sources to compile
for different architectures are invited to use the O= command line
option for out-of-tree compilation.

In an attempt to disable the compilation and installation of
documentation of gtk packages, a DISABLE_DOCUMENTATION variable
containing --without-html-dir has been added to
package/Makefile.in. This variable is used by
package/Makefile.autotools.in so that --without-html-dir is in effect
passed to all autotools-based packaging relying on the
Makefile.autotools.in infrastructure.
Unfortunately, --without-html-dir doesn't work. It leads libglib2
./configure script to think that HTML_DIR is "no", which leads to the
installation of the documentation in $(STAGING_DIR)no (yes, with the
"no" suffix at the end). The issue is that --with-html-dir is not an
enable/disable type of option, it's an option that only allows to pass
a PATH for documentation installation.
As we don't want the documentation to be installed in this odd
$(STAGING_DIR)no directory, we simply get rid of this option.

The XSERVER variable used to be defined by package/Makefile.in because
the X server package name was different depending on the type of X
server that was choosen. Nowadays, the name of the package is always
xserver_xorg-server, so there's no point in having this XSERVER
intermediate variable.
This patch makes all packages use xserver_xorg-server directly as a
dependency, and removes the XSERVER variable from package/Makefile.in.

Since the move of many host binaries to $(HOST_DIR), the TARGET_PATH
for internal toolchain had been changed to include $(HOST_DIR)/bin and
$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin, but this change was not reflected to the
TARGET_PATH used in external toolchain configuration. This patches
fixes this.
We also remove $(STAGING_DIR)/bin and $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin from the
TARGET_PATH in external toolchain configuration, since the STAGING_DIR
is not supposed to contain host binaries.

Change the definition of TARGET_LDFLAGS to use --sysroot
$(STAGING_DIR) instead of -L$(STAGING_DIR)/lib
-L$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib. It fixes the following failure while trying
to build mtd-utils :
/usr/local/xtools/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc -L/home/thomas/local/buildroot-output/build_arm/staging_dir/lib -L/home/thomas/local/buildroot-output/build_arm/staging_dir/usr/lib -o /home/thomas/local/buildroot-output/build_arm/mtd_orig/flash_eraseall /home/thomas/local/buildroot-output/build_arm/mtd_orig/crc32.o /home/thomas/local/buildroot-output/build_arm/mtd_orig/flash_eraseall.o

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/home/thomas/local/buildroot-output/build_arm/mtd_orig/flash_eraseall] Error 1
At the same time, simplify the definition of TARGET_CFLAGS, because
the -I$(STAGING_DIR)/include -I$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/include
-I$(TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PATH)/$(TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PREFIX)/include are
no longer necessary since we sysroot the toolchain in $(SYSROOT_DIR).
This patch has no effect on non-external toolchain builds.

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.
This matches upstream tarball, doesn't screw up existing .config's with
BR2_PACKAGE_PKGCONFIG and makes sure the patch gets applied for target
compilation.
gcc < 4.2.0 doesn't support -Wno-overlength-stings, but gcc-4.3.x configure
fails to detect that, breaking the build.
Work around it by detecting the host gcc version (and store in HOSTCC_VERSION)
and set the proper configure variables for gcc < 4.2.0.
The VFP is only available for a few ARM CPUs at the moment,
so this breaks the liboil build.
A patch is available upstream which only enables "-mfpu=vfp"
if "--enable-vfp" is given to "configure".
Autotools needs to be run for liboil for this to take effect.
A new configuration BR2_VFP_FLOAT is added to allow enabling vfp.
If this is "yes", then "-mfpu=vfp" is added to CFLAGS.
TARGET_PATH didn't contain $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin, which means that
programs installed in $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin were not considered for
execution during Buildroot build process. This was a problem with host
automake/autoconf/libtool, which could not be found.

* 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.

The following changes allow for use of a central configure cache
file. This speeds up configuration of packages.
Its use is configurable at the top level (BR2_CONFIG_CACHE - default n).
Old style makefiles can use it if they use the following MACRO in makefiles:
$(AUTO_CONFIGURE_TARGET) see my change to directfb.mk.
New style Autotools.in will use it if you set the global option.
However you can enable the global option and on a per package overrule it by doing
the following: $(PKGNAME)_USE_CONFIG_CACHE = NO see fontconfig.mk for an example
of this.
Finally I have removed a few config variable settings which indicated no CXX compiler
as this is wrong and breaks the build when using this central cache.
Config.in | 8 ++++++++
package/Makefile.autotools.in | 5 ++++-
package/Makefile.in | 28 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++-

package/libgtk2/libgtk2.mk | 1 -
8 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-)
I would appreciate feedback on this change (I have been testing for 2-3 weeks)
But I can never test all cases! If you enable the BR2_CONFIG_CACHE option some
Makefile.autotools.in based packages may now break - I cannot build them all.
In this case you may need to remove config options that are being hardcoded all
over the place (like gtk saying we have 2 CXX compiler) or disable the use
of CONFIG CACHE file like I have done in fontconfig.
I can build all packages required to get WebKit on DirectFB up and running
and it runs fine.
I will try to resolve any issues this creates as fast as I can.

This patch is a new version of a patch already sent several times on
the mailing-list, committed and reverted a few times by Daniel Laird,
due to several imperfections. This version is a new try at finding a
solution that works for everybody. Hopefully it'll work :-)
The original problem is that external toolchain builds failed because
packages couldn't find their dependent libraries at configure time and
could not be linked with them. To fix these two problems, two things
are added:
* The TARGET_LDFLAGS variable was exposed as LDFLAGS at ./configure
time thanks to TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS. The TARGET_LDFLAGS variable
contains -L options with the path in the STAGING_DIR for the
libraries. It allows ./configure scripts to properly compile the
small test programs testing whether a dependency is properly
installed.
* The TARGET_CFLAGS contains a new -Wl,--rpath-link option for both
$(STAGING_DIR)/lib and $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib. It allows library
depending on other libraries to link properly. The TARGET_CFLAGS is
exposed as CFLAGS in TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS.
This new version fixes a problem encountered by hartleys
<hartleys@visionengravers.com> when building the kernel. The problem
was that the -Wl,--rpath-link options were added to LDFLAGS, while
there are options for the C compiler, not the ld linker. Moving them
to CFLAGS seems to fix the issue.

Upgrade to pkgconfig 0.23 which has native sysroot support (buggy,
but easily fixable), which allows us to get rid of pkgconfig-filter.sh.
At the same time cleanup the makefile.
Packages that need to pass additional CFLAGS in their .mk have to do something
like this: ...configure $(foreach i,$(foo_CFLAGS),CFLAGS+=$$i) --prefix=...
Will need to try to copy eventual pre-existing project-specific deps back
to package/config in order not to mess up the corresponding timestamps (to avoid superfluous rebuilds)..
quite work yet for me, but this clearly is a huge project and not having it
quite work on the first pass is hardly unexpected. We definately want this
stuff in buildroot.
=========================================================
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 patch adds support for subversion to checkout files, much like how CVS
