In some cases, upstream just update their releases in-place, without
renaming them. When that package is updated in Buildroot, a new hash to
match the new upstream release is included in the corresponding .hash
file.
As a consequence, users who previously downloaded that package's tarball
with an older version of Buildroot, will get stuck with an old archive
for that package, and after updating their Buildroot copy, will be greeted
with a failed download, due to the local file not matching the new
hashes.
Also, an upstream would sometime serve us HTML garbage instead of the
actual tarball we requested, like SourceForge does from time for as-yet
unknown reasons.
So, to avoid this situation, check the hashes prior to doing the
download. If the hashes match, consider the locally cached file genuine,
and do not download it. However, if the locally cached file does not
match the known hashes we have for it, it is promptly removed, and a
download is re-attempted.
Note: this does not add any overhead compared to the previous situation,
because we were already checking hashes of locally cached files. It just
changes the order in which we do the checks. For the records, here is the
overhead of hashing a 231MiB file (qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.tar.gz)
on a core-i5 @2.5GHz:
cache-cold cache-hot
sha1 1.914s 0.762s
sha256 2.109s 1.270s
But again, this overhead already existed before this patch.

Instead of repeating the check in our download rules, delegate the check
of the hashes to the download wrapper.
This needs three different changes:
- add a new argument to the download wrapper, that is the full path to
the hash file; if the hash file does not exist, that does not change
the current behaviour, as the existence of the hash file is checked
for in the check-hash script;
- add a third argument to the check-hash script, to be the basename of
the file to check; this is required because we no longer check the
final file with the final filename, but an intermediate file with a
temporary filename;
- do the actual call to the check-hash script from within the download
wrapper.
This further paves the way to doing pre-download checks of the hashes
for the locally cached files.
Note: this patch removes the check for hashes for already downloaded
files, since the wrapper script exits early. The behaviour to check
localy cached files will be restored and enhanced in the following
patch.

Instead of relying on argument ordering, use actual options in the

Download backends (bzr, cp, hg...) are left as-is, because it does not
make sense to complexify them, since they are almost very trivial shell
scripts, and adding option parsing would be really overkill.

Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.
As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.
This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.
Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

When we set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when building our host tools, we append any
pre-existing value to our custom path:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib:$(LD_LIBRARY_PATH)"
But then if LD_LIBRARY_PATH was previously empty, we end up with an
LD_LIBRARY_PATH that ends with a colon.
Also, when we check that an existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not contain
CWD, we previously did not look for a zero-length prefix.
Since 'man ld.so' says of LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
A colon-separated list of directories in which to search for ELF
libraries at execution-time. Similar to the PATH environment
variable.
And POSIX states about PATH:
A zero-length prefix is a legacy feature that indicates the current
working directory.
And bash also recognises a zero-length prefix to search in CWD:
A zero-length (null) directory name in the value of PATH indicates
the current directory.
We may thus end up on a system where a zero-length prefix in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is interpreted as CWD.
Do not append the previous LD_LIBRARY_PATH if it was empty, and check
for a zero-length prefix when checking dependencies.

The Buildroot coding style defines one space around make assignments and
does not align the assignment symbols.
This patch does a bulk fix of offending packages. The package
infrastructures (or more in general assignments to calculated variable
names, like $(2)_FOO) are not touched.
Alignment of line continuation characters (\) is kept as-is.
The sed command used to do this replacement is:
find * -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -i \
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*$#\1 \2#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\]\+\)$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\)\s*$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\(\s*\\\)#\1 \2\3#'
Brief explanation of this command:
^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\) a regular variable at the beginning of the line
\([?:+]\?=\) any assignment character =, :=, ?=, +=
\([^\\]\+\) any string not containing a line continuation
\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\) string, optional whitespace, followed by a
line continuation character
\(\s*\\\) optional whitespace, followed by a line
continuation character
Hence, the first subexpression handles empty assignments, the second
handles regular assignments, the third handles regular assignments with
line continuation, and the fourth empty assignments with line
continuation.
This expression was tested on following test text: (initial tab not
included)
FOO = spaces before
FOO = spaces before and after
FOO = tab before
FOO = tab and spaces before
FOO = tab after
FOO = tab and spaces after
FOO = spaces and tab after
FOO = \
FOO = bar \
FOO = bar space \
FOO = \
GENIMAGE_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf libconfuse
FOO += spaces before
FOO ?= spaces before and after
FOO :=
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
$(MAKE1) CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) -C
AT91BOOTSTRAP3_DEFCONFIG = \
AXEL_DISABLE_I18N=--i18n=0
After this bulk change, following manual fixups were done:
- fix line continuation alignment in cegui06 and spice (the sed
expression leaves the number of whitespace between the value and line
continuation character intact, but the whitespace before that could have
changed, causing misalignment.
- qt5base was reverted, as this package uses extensive alignment which
actually makes the code more readable.
Finally, the end result was manually reviewed.

Because the toolchainfile.cmake prepends architecture/toolchain flags

Thus, we end up with output.gz, while the download wrapper expects jsut

Fix that by storing the tar from git to a temporary file, then pipe this

of saving into $(BR2_DL_DIR).
It calls the appropriate download helper, telling it to save the
downloaded content to a temporary file in $(BUILD_DIR) (so it does
not clutter $(BR2_DL_DIR) with partial, failed downloads.
Then, only if the download helper was successful, does the wrapper
save the downloaded content to the final location, yet still in a

After switching TARGET_LDFLAGS from --static to -static, one issue
appears: from the point of view of libtool, -static only means to link
statically against the 'uninstalled libtool libraries' (i.e the
libraries that libtool has built in the current package), but
otherwise links dynamically with the other libraries. To really get a
completely static build, you need to pass -all-static to
libtool. Unfortunately, -all-static is only a valid option for
libtool, not as a general LDFLAGS, so we cannot to TARGET_LDFLAGS =
-all-static without breaking virtually all packages.
As pointed out 10 years ago on the libtool mailing list, the current
naming of the options is very confusing and the source of issues, and
there was a proposal to change -static to have the behavior of
-all-static, and instead introduce a separate -lt-static to have the
current behavior of -static. But that never got merged, because it was
breaking the current behavior. See:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2004-11/msg00017.html
However, in Buildroot, when we pass -static, we really mean it, and we
want a completely static build. Therefore, this patch adapts our
ltmain.sh patches so that they alter the behavior of -static to make
it work like -all-static. The changes are small and quite easy to
understand, and have been tested to work fine with a small selection
of packages.

The gconv libraries are used to translate between different character sets
('charsets', even 'csets' sometimes). Some packages need them to present
text to the user (eg. XBMC Gotham).
In (e)glibc they are implemented by the internal implemenation of iconv,
called gconv, and are provided as dlopen-able libraries.
Note that some gconv modules need extra libraries (shared by more than
one gconv module), so we must, when adding a subset of modules, scan the
installed modules in search of the missing libraries.
