d79042bd0b doc/asciidoc: always apply Buildroot's AsciiDoc config
As suggested by Thomas: the AsciiDoc options we use ensure we get a sane
output of the document. We want that configuration to be applied to
other documents as well.

Up until now, it was implicit that the configuration was applied to
our manual, becasue we only supported document-specific configuration,
and the configuration we had was in our manual dir, so we got to use it.

But now, we can render other documents, especially ones from
br2-external, and we want those to also use the default configuration
from Buildroot, but still be able to provide their own customisation.

So, always add Buildroot's configuration first, if available, before we
append the document's configuration.

3d2a49f78f docs/asciidoc: make it possible to use $(@D) in hooks
Currently, it is not possible to use $(@D) in documents' hooks, because
there is no actual target file for the copying rule.

So, use the same mechanism as for generic-package.

We do not touch the target file, so it is easy to regenerate the manual
without calling the -clean rule first.

2dfe1b8395 docs: separate the GENDOC infra from our manual definition
Move the GENDOC infra to its own file, so it is even less tied to our
manual document, so that it is more obvious that GENDOC is an infra like
our packages infras, and 'manual' is a document like we have packages.

Ideally, this new file should better go in docs/ rather than in package/ .
However, docs/ is already full of our website stuff, so adding it in
there would just serve to clutter the website.

So, let's just put alongside the other infrastructures, in package/ .

d861876322 docs/manual: always look for resources in destination directory
Our manual does not use external filters in asciidoc, so we are happy
with just looking for resources from our source tree.

However, other documents (like ones in br2-external) may use such
filters, to generate diagrams, graphs...

External filters generate their output files in the output directory, so
we must also look for resources in there.

Note: external filters in asccidoc are used thus:
    ["filter-name"]
    ----
    Text to be rendered
    ----

In the future, our own manual may even make use of filters to include
some of the graphs we generate, to store in the documentation.

5b34e68369 docs/manual: allow documents to define some hooks, as for a package
Allow documents to define two hooks:
  - DOC_CHECK_EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES_HOOKS
    to check for extra dependencies required by this document
  - DOC_CHECK_EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES_FMT_HOOKS
    ditto, but for the specific format
  - DOC_POST_EXTRACT_HOOKS:
    to run additional actions to fill-in the build directory

(Replace 'DOC' with the uppercase name of the document, and 'FMT' with
the format.)

This is supposed to replace the current use of overloading the internal
dependency rules, and makes GENDOC behave yet a bit more like the
package infrastructure.

Note that GENDOC_INNER already has the uppercase name as an argument,
whereas GENDOC does not, so the two foreach loops are not exactly
similar (for now.)

995f9bf4d3 docs/manual: last pass at removing hard-coded path in GENDOC_INNER
GENDOC_INNER still has one hard-coded path to the document's directory:
the asciidoc .conf files.

Add a new argument to GENDOC_INNER to pass the directory of the
document.

Notes:

- this makes for overly-long lines, but splitting is not possible,
otherwise the first argument on the continuation line would get (at
least) a leading space or tab, and that would break either or all of
the variables names, the dependency rules, or the filenames we look
for. A future patch will further clean this up (see: docs/asciidoc: call
$(pkgname) and $(pkgdir) in a single place.)

- this means that another document would be missing our tweaks from
asciidoc-text.conf to not render images and sanely render hyperlinks.
But that was already the case anyway, since we were using docs/$(1)/ to
search for that file. A further patch will allow us to have such
configuration in a common place.

c7f9d2e878 docs/manual: do not hardcode name of the generated document
Currently, GENDOC_INNER hard-codes some variables to have the name of the
document in them:
    MANUAL_$(2)_ASCIIDOC_CONF
    MANUAL_$(2)_ASCIIDOC_OPTS
    MANUAL_$(2)_A2X_OPTS
    MANUAL_$(2)_INSTALL_CMDS
    ...

Also, it defines some dependency on the generation rule, onto:
    manual-check-dependencies
    manual-check-dependencies-$(3)
    manual-prepare-sources

This is problematic, as it is not possible to have another document
generated with the GENDOC infra, or it would trigger the rules, and use
the variables for our own document, 'manual'.

Add a new argument to GENDOC_INNER to be the uppercase name of the
document, much like it is done for the PKG_*_INNER functions. Replace
any reference to 'manual' with the currently passed named of the current
document, $(1).

The remaining references to 'manual' are on purpose, as they really
pertain to our manual.

e9f44f0abb gendoc infra: disable pdf manual generation if xsltproc is buggy
The PDF manual generation reaches the default xsltproc's template
recursion limit when processing the target package list; this makes the
PDF manual generation fail [1-3].

This limit can be raised with the '--maxvars' option. Unfortunately,
this option is not correctly handled in the latest xsltproc/libxslt
release (1.1.28), but this bug is already fixed in the libxslt
repository [4].

This patch disables the PDF manual generation (makes it warn with a
meaningful error message) when the xsltproc program found in the PATH
does not support the --maxvars option.
So, one can still generate the PDF manual if he/she extends PATH with
the location of a working xsltproc, by running:

  $ PATH=/path/to/custom-xsltproc/bin:${PATH} make manual-pdf

7b118dfb4b gendoc infra: move manual build location into $(BUILD_DIR)/docs/manual
This patch reworks the manual source preparation by:
- moving the build directory under $(BUILD_DIR)/, this keeps consistency
  with the other Buildroot infrastructures;
- adding a couple of targets: 'manual-rsync' and 'manual-prepare-sources',
  to deal more efficiently with the manual sources and avoid rsync-ing
  them on every single manual-* target.

The 'manual-rsync' target only copies the manual sources under git, while
the 'manual-prepare-sources' also takes care of the generated ones. These
targets are now run only once,  and the manual build is no longer cleaned
after each manual format generation.

Now, the 'manual-clean' target only remove the manual build directory, but
keeps the output one $(O)/output/doc/manual unchanged.

Doing so (moving the manual build directory and keeping it between 2
manual format generation) ensures that all generated sources are taken
in account when generating the manual [1].

0518a98ac3 packages: rename FOO_MAKE_OPT into FOO_MAKE_OPTS
While the autotools infrastructure was using FOO_MAKE_OPT, generic packages
were typically using FOO_MAKE_OPTS. This inconsistency becomes a problem
when a new infrastructure is introduced that wants to make use of
FOO_MAKE_OPT(S), and can live alongside either generic-package or
autotools-package. The new infrastructure will have to choose between either
OPT or OPTS, and thus rule out transparent usage by respectively generic
packages or generic packages. An example of such an infrastructure is
kconfig-package, which provides kconfig-related make targets.

The OPTS variant is more logical, as there are typically multiple options.

This patch renames all occurrences of FOO_MAKE_OPT in FOO_MAKE_OPTS.

a373ad0256 manual/user guide/customization: change recommendation for package paths
The Buildroot manual was recommending following paths for project-specific
packages:
    package/<company>/<boardname>/foo/
    $BR2_EXTERNAL/package/<boardname>/foo/

However, if a company has several boards, it is often the case that some
packages are common for different boards. Therefore, introducing a
<boardname> path component is not ideal.

This patch changes the recommendation to:
    package/<company>/foo/
    $BR2_EXTERNAL/package/foo/

77007ad950 manual/user guide: high-level restructuring
This patch performs some additional restructuring of the manual,
specifically in the User Guide. In detail:

- Rename 'Daily use' to 'General Buildroot usage'
- Move chapters 'make tips', 'Eclipse integration', and 'Advanced usage' as
  sections under the 'General Buildroot usage' chapter.
- Rename 'Details on Buildroot configuration' into 'Buildroot configuration'
- Rework the 'Customization' section as follows:
  - Move the short section on debugging the external toolchain wrapper into
    the rest of the explanation on external toolchains.
  - Remove the now redundant section on toolchains, as this is already
    explained in much more detail in the 'Buildroot configuration' chapter.
  - Move the sections on busybox/uclibc/kernel configuration from chapter
    'Customization' into a separate chapter 'Configuration of other
    components'.
  - Rename the remaining part of the original 'Customization' chapter into
    'Project-specific customization' and fold it together with the next
    chapter 'Storing the configuration'
- Remove the chapter 'Going further in Buildroot innards' thanks to:
  - Moving the chapter 'How Buildroot works' to the Developer guide.
  - Moving the 'Advanced Buildroot usage' section to the 'General Buildroot
    usage' chapter.
- Remove the chapter 'Hacking Buildroot' by:
  - Adding a reference to adding packages to the 'Project-specific
    customizations' chapter
  - Leaving out the explicit reference to creating board support, as this is
    part of the previous chapter already, so an extra reference is
    redundant.

9c353541ff manual/getting started: rework 'System requirements' section
This patch reworks the requirements section of the manual as follows:
- some general rewording
- move configuration editor dependencies above the download tools, as this
  is the first thing people come in contact with.
- move sentence regarding -dev packages to configuration editor dependencies
  and restrict to 'libraries'.
- clarify the download tools part.

This patch reworks the section 'Community resources' as follows:
- use a labeled list instead of subsections, as the content of each section
  is so small that it does not deserve a real section.
  Related to this, the anchors for each of these subsections are removed, as
  referencing such anchors that do not correspond to a section boundary are
  not displayed nicely.
- move the part about applying patches from patchwork to the Contributing
  section in the Developer Guide
- reword some parts of the text
- add link texts to some links, instead of showing the URL directly, to make
  the HTML / PDF display nicer.

569db40574 manual: high-level restructuring
The structure of the buildroot manual is not always clear. There is a large
number of chapters, and some chapters seem to overlap. The distinction
between general usage and developer information is not always clear.

This patch restructures the manual into four large parts:
- getting started
- user guide
- developer guide
- appendix

Except for the names of these parts, the section names are not yet changed.
Content-wise there are no changes yet either. This will be handled in
subsequent patches.

In order to achieve the introduction of a new level 'parts' above
'chapters', the section indicators (=, ==, ===, ...) of several sections
have to be moved one level down. Additionally, the leveloffset indication to
asciidoc has to be removed. Finally, to maintain more or less the same level
of detail in the table of contents, the toc.section.depth attribute is
reduced as well. Note that for some sections, less detail is visible now.

dd935d6771 gendoc infra: use $(pkgname) instead of explicitly passing 'manual'
In the gendoc infrastructure, using an assignment of the form
    FOO = docs/$(1)/bar
inside GENDOC_INNER does not work as expected: the $(1) value is empty here
and the value of FOO becomes 'docs//bar'.

Parameters $(2), $(3), etc. do not have this problem. The specific thing
about $(1) is that it is a parameter to GENDOC itself (indicating the
document to create) and passed transparently to GENDOC_INNER.

This is different from the package infrastructures, where $(1) is set from
$(pkgname). In fact, the same strategy could be used by the gendoc
infrastructure as well, as $(pkgname) resolves to 'manual' for file
docs/manual/manual.mk. This has the advantage that the described problem
does not occur.

Note that this means that if we want to use the same GENDOC infrastructure
for another document, it will have to reside in a separate directory than
the manual.

a930d9cef6 toolchain: linker options with a $ sign are not supported
As reported in bug #7172 [0], setting BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS to a value
containing a $ sign can lead to unexpected results.

This is because it is very hard to know when the $ sign gets evaluated:
  - in the Buildroot-level make
  - in the shell called by the Buildroot-level make
  - in the package's own build-system, either at configure time, in the
    Makefile, in a shell in the Makefile...

So, it is very difficult to know how much escaping that would need.

A proposal is to use a shell variable to pass such values unmolested.
But it is not that simple either, since it still contains a $ sign, and
there is not much certainty as to when it would be evaluated.

Instead, just document this limitation, both in the help text for
BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS, and in the known-issues section in the manual.

Does not really fix #7172, but at least the limitation is documented.

54456cc698 infra: consistently use double dollar signs inside inner-xxx-targets
The inner-xxx-targets in the buildroot package infrastructures are
evaluated using $(eval) which causes variable references to be a bit
different than in regular make code. As we want most references to be
expanded only at the time of the $(eval) we should not use standard
references $(VAR) but rather use double dollar signs $$(VAR). This includes
function references like $(call), $(subst), etc. The only exception is the
reference to pkgdir/pkgname and numbered variables, which are parameters to
the inner block: $(1), $(2), etc.

This patch introduces consistent usage of double-dollar signs throughout the
different inner-xxx-targets blocks.

In some cases, this would potentially cause circular references, in
particular when the value of HOST_FOO_VAR would be obtained from the
corresponding FOO_VAR if HOST_FOO_VAR is not defined. In these cases, a test
is added to check for a host package (the only case where such constructions
are relevant; these are not circular).

Benefits of these changes are:
- behavior of variables is now again as expected. For example, setting
  $(2)_VERSION = virtual in pkg-virtual.mk will effectively work, while
  originally it would cause very odd results.

- The output of 'make printvars' is now much more useful. This target shows
  the value of all variables, and the expression that led to that value.
  However, if the expression was coming from an inner-xxx-targets block, and
  was using single dollar signs, it would show in printvars as
    VAR = value (value)
  while if double dollar signs are used, it would effectively look like
    VAR = value (actual expression)
  as is intended.
  This improvement is for example effective for FOO_DL_VERSION, FOO_RAWNAME,
  FOO_SITE_METHOD and FOO_MAKE.

The correctness of this patch has been verified using 'make printvars',
'make manual' and 'make legal-info' before and after applying this patch,
and comparing the output.

not containing all topics.
In order to avoid duplicating this information, simply list the different
topics without detail on the website, and add a link to the relevent
chapter of the manual.

287a88286b graph-depends: rename the variable to pass the max depth
There will soon be new options to the graph-depends script, which we
can only sanely pass via environment variables.

Currently, we use such an environment variable to pass the maximum depth
of the dependency graph; the name of that variable is explicit that it
contains just the depth.

However, there has been so far no release of Buildroot which would make
use of that variable, so no user should have come to rely on it.

Rename that variable so it is less specific, and more generic, so it can
be used to pass more options to graph-depends.

5e3cb35737 manual: fix C++ support in libc case, fix indentation
The manual has this sentence for the dependency on a C library *and* a
toolchain feature:

    foo needs an (e)glibc toolchain, or foo needs an (e)glibc toolchain
    w/ C++ support

And then, just below, the comment text for C++ is just 'C++', not
'C++ support'.

Fix that, and add a bit of indentation too.

4109a20bea manual/configure.txt: fix C++ escaping
For asciidoc, a string like '+these are some words+' will be displayed in
monospace font. Such sequences are identified by searching for a matching
pair of + signs in the same block.

The string 'C++' also contains such + signs. In most cases, this does not
pose a problem and no escaping is necessary. However, if 'C++' occurs twice
in the same block, the + signs will be matched to each other, and asciidoc
formats all text between them as monospaced text. In this case, escaping of
one of these 'C++' occurances is necessary to get the right formatting.

In one place of the manual, there is a sentence that causes such a problem:
    "you only have to tell whether your toolchain supports C++ or not and
    whether it has built-in RPC support. If your external toolchain uses
    the 'uClibc' library, then you have to tell Buildroot if it supports
    largefile, IPv6, RPC, wide-char, locale, program invocation, threads
    and C++."

Commit 082dec8ce4 was based on a patch fixing
this problem in one place of the manual, but was incorrectly changed while
committing.

This patch reverts the incorrect changes in that commit, and solves the
problem correctly.

86a415df8a manual: use one-line titles instead of two-line titles (trivial)
Asciidoc supports two syntaxes for section titles: two-line titles (title
plus underline consisting of a particular symbol), and one-line titles
(title prefixed with a specific number of = signs).

The two-line title underlines are:
Level 0 (top level):     ======================
Level 1:                 ----------------------
Level 2:                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 3:                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Level 4 (bottom level):  ++++++++++++++++++++++

and the one-line title prefixes:
= Document Title (level 0) =
== Section title (level 1) ==

=== Section title (level 2) ===
==== Section title (level 3) ====
===== Section title (level 4) =====

The buildroot manual is currenly using the two-line titles, but this has
multiple disadvantages:

- asciidoc also uses some of the underline symbols for other purposes (like
  preformatted code, example blocks, ...), which makes it difficult to do
  mass replacements, such as a planned follow-up patch that needs to move
  all sections one level down.

- it is difficult to remember which level a given underline symbol (=-~^+)
  corresponds to, while counting = signs is easy.

This patch changes all two-level titles to one-level titles in the manual.
The bulk of the change was done with the following Python script, except for
the level 1 titles (-----) as these underlines are also used for literal
code blocks.
This patch only changes the titles, no other changes. In
adding-packages-directory.txt, I did add missing newlines between some
titles and their content.

05754fa01d pkg-python: support host-python dependency different from the python in the target
Some packages need a host-python interpreter with a version different
from the one installed in the target to run some build scripts (eg.
scons requires python2 to run, to build any kind of packages even if
the python interpreter selected for the target is python3).

In such cases, we need to add the right host-python dependency to the
package using the host-python-package infrastructure, and we also want
to invoke the right host python interpreter during the build steps.

This patch adds a *_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON variable that can be set either
to 'python2' or 'python3'. This variable can be set by any package
using the host-python-package infrastructure to force the python
interpreter for the build. This variable also takes care of setting
the right host-python dependency.

This *_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON variable only affects packages using the
host-python-package infrastructure.

If some configure/build/install commands are overloaded in the *.mk
file, the right python interpreter should be explicitly called.

If the package defines some tool variable (eg.: SCONS), the variable
should explicitly call the right python interpreter.

[Thomas:
 - fixes to the commit log and documentation suggested by Yann
 - rename the variable from <pkg>_FORCE_HOST_PYTHON to
   <pkg>_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON, as suggested by Yann
 - do not allow any other value than python2 and python3 in
   <pkg>_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON, as suggested by Yann.]

5e26da4673 docs/manual: rephrase paragraph about unsupported external toolchains
The ELDK now relies on Yocto, so it no longer has the funky
non-standard way of doing multilib. Also, we didn't mention that Yocto
toolchains/SDK are not suitable for usage with Buildroot. Therefore,
this commit rewords this part of the documentation to explain that
Yocto/OpenEmbedded SDKs cannot be used as external toolchains in
Buildroot, and why.

Now that we have eglibc and glibc support in the internal backend, and
no longer marked as experimental, a little bit of rewording is
needed. It is no longer necessary to indicate that uClibc was
historically supported as the only C library, and that the glibc
support is experimental. We also update the rest of the description to
be less uClibc specific.

a524731012 manual: add explanations on limitations about using O=...
Using a relative path for O=... has limitations, since it is interpreted
relative to the Buildroot tree, and thus may lead to unexpected results.

For example, running this:
    make -C buildroot O=my-O

will not create my-O in the current working directory, but as a
sub-directory of the Buildroot tree, here in buildroot/my-O

Explain this in the manual (as is similarly done for BR2_EXTERNAL).
Also add a note that $(O) will be created if missing.

Also change O=.. and -C .. to O=<...> and -C <...> to make it explicit
this is an ellipse, not a relative path.

1de64ec8c0 manual: switch BR2_EXTERNAL examples to use absolute paths
Although it is possible to use relative paths, there are a few pitfalls
when doing so.

To avoid confusion for a (newcoming) user, use absolute paths in the
manual (as is done in examples for $(O)), since it is guaranteed to be
working without corner cases.

Most of the chapter is a copy-paste of the report from the Buildroot
Developpers Day in Pragues, 2011-10-28:
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-November/047229.html

We consider the opinions expressed in that report to be still valid
now, two years later.
