5712140af4 manual/getting started: rename and move 'Getting involved' section
The Getting Involved section is actually an overview of the ways to interact
with the Buildroot community, which is useful for developers _and_ users.
Therefore, this patch moves the section from the Developer Guide to the
Getting Started section, and renames it to 'Community Resources'.

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.

bb00e14149 manual-text: hide image representations
Images specified in the asciidoc sources (currently only the logo) are
displayed as the file name in the text version of the manual. This causes an
odd line to appear:
    logo.png

Avoid this by setting the image representation macros to {empty} in
manual-text.

67274a9b6f manual-text: make sure URLs are displayed if a link text was provided
When the asciidoc source contain URLs of the form:
    http://example.com[An example website]
the text representation of the manual would only contain:
    An example website
without displaying the actual URL.

This patch adds an asciidoc configuration file that sets the inline macros
for several URL types so that the display becomes:
    An example website [http://example.com]
For URLs where no link text was provided, the display becomes:
    http://example.com
which is the same as before.

05fa99d03c gendoc infra: add support for asciidoc configuration files
This patch introduces support for asciidoc configuration files, specific for
each output format (html, text, pdf, ...). This is useful to make certain
tweaks in the document generation.

If a file docs/manual/asciidoc-<format>.conf is present, it is passed to
asciidoc as configuration file. If no file for the current format is
present, the options passed to asciidoc are empty.

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.

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.

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.

4e2b7057c6 manual: use current date/time for 'generated on'
Currently, the manual uses the last modification date and time of
manual.txt in the generated manual.

This is confusing, especially for long-checked-out repositories where
the top-level manual.txt has not changed since the check out. Moreover,
the manual explicitly states 'generated on', which is confusing at best.

Use the current date and time instead.

f1fedbb246 graphs: support generating png graphs
PDF files can not be easily embedded in other documents (eg. ODT, or HTML).

Add support for generating PNG graphs, by setting the GRAPH_OUT=pdf|png on
the command line:
    make GRAPH_OUT=png graph-build graph-depends

The default is still to generate PDF graphs.

e16bf92252 Makefile: expose target 'graph-build' to generate the build-time graphs
Generate the build-time graphs by calling:
    make graph-build

This generates the graphs in $(O)/graphs/

It is possible to use the alternate color-scheme by setting the variable
GRAPH_ALT=1 on the command line:
    make GRAPH_ALT=1 graph-build
