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.

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

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.

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.

Some perl packages may use environment variables as a hint to know how
to be configured.
That's for example the case for perl-net-ssleay that uses
OPENSSL_PREFIX, if it is set in the environment, as the prefix to
openssl.
Add a new variable that packages can set if they need extra environment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.]

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.

This commit introduces the BR2_EXTERNAL environment variable, which
will allow to keep Buildroot customization (board-specific
configuration files or root filesystem overlays, package Config.in and
makefiles, as well as defconfigs) outside of the Buildroot tree.
This commit only introduces the variable itself, and ensures that it
is available within Config.in options. This allows us to use
$BR2_EXTERNAL in a 'source' statement in Config.in.
Following patches extend the usage of BR2_EXTERNAL to other areas
(packages and defconfigs).
In details, this commit:
* Introduces the BR2_EXTERNAL Kconfig option. This option has no
prompt, and is therefore not visible to the user and also not
stored in the .config file. It is automatically set to the value of
the BR2_EXTERNAL environment variable. The only purpose of this
BR2_EXTERNAL Kconfig option is to allow $BR2_EXTERNAL to be
properly expanded when used inside Kconfig source statements.
* Calculates the BR2_EXTERNAL value to use. If passed on the command
line, then this value is taken in priority, and saved to a
.br-external hidden file in the output directory. If not passed on
the command line, then we read the .br-external file from the
output directory. This allows the user to not pass the BR2_EXTERNAL
value at each make invocation. If no BR2_EXTERNAL value is passed,
we define it to support/dummy-external, so that the kconfig code
finds an existing $(BR2_EXTERNAL)/package/Config.in file to
include.
* Passes the BR2_EXTERNAL into the *config environment, so that its
value is found when parsing/evaluating Config.in files and .config
values.

Python saves a pre-compiled support/scripts/kconfiglib.pyc file
side-to-side with the corresponding .py file.
This does not work if the Buildroot source tree is read-only (but
this is not an error for Python, which keep going OK).
But this may cause issues for out-of-tree builds in case the same
Buildroot source tree is shared by many builds.
Also, 'make clean' currently does not clean this file, and out-of-tree
builds can remove it either, at the risk of causing issues for other
out-of-tree builds running at the same time.
Just tell Python not to generate .pyc files:
- call the script via python, don't use the sha-bang
- thus, make the script non-executable, and remove the sha-bang

To generate the manual, you need a few tools. If these are not present,
pretty cryptic error messages are given.
This patch adds a simple check for these dependencies, before attempting to
build the manual.

$(BUILD_DIR) is a nice place to put files generated during the build.
With the advent of user-supplied step-hooks, they may want to store
some information on the build.
Export BUILD_DIR to that effect; update manual accordingly.

Currently, the comments in Config.in files when depending on toolchain
options are not at all lined up. This patch adds a section to the
documentation that explains which format is to be used.

Converting the external toolchain logic into a package raises a very
special use case that wasn't handled by the package infrastructure:
the Blackfin toolchain is delivered as two tarballs instead of
one. Unfortunately <pkg>_SOURCE only allows to pass one tarball name.
However, we really want both tarballs to be known by the package
infrastructure, so that the normal 'source' and 'external-deps'
mechanism work fine.
In order to achieve this, we add a <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS variable,
which allows a package to list other stuff it would like to see
downloaded, but that are otherwise not used by the package
infrastructure itself: it is up to the package to do it by itself.

Add a 'Known issues' chapter, which lists the exceptions I have
currently in the autobuilder scripts to avoid known problems from
occuring. I believe it is more useful to document them rather than
keeping them hidden in my autobuilder script.

In case there are many arguments passed to the tools, the command line
can get very long, and difficult to parse visually.
For example, the Linux kernel passes a lot of arguments to gcc (at least
45, which gives 53 with our hard-coded args). Looking at such a command
line is daunting.
So, add the possibility to print each argument on its own line.
Also, enclose all args between single quotes, so the command line
can be safely copy-pasted without special chars (spaces, $) being
inrerpreted by the shell.
Add blurb about toolchain-wrapper to documentation at the same
time.
