5af28fe6a1 pkg-autotools: add support for <pkg>_AUTORECONF_ENV
This commit improves the autotools-package infrastructure to support a
<pkg>_AUTORECONF_ENV variable, which allows a package maintainer to
pass additional variables in the environment of the autoreconf
execution. This is useful in the situation where configure.ac contains
shell commands using environment variables that are only executed when
autoreconf is run.

734b34f520 infra/pkg-perl: add possibility to pass extra env at configure time
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
variables. Update the manual accordingly.

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.

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.

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.

ba4146c37c docs/manual: update informations about C library in internal backend
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.

To avoid confusion for a (newcoming) user, use absolute paths in the

working without corner cases.

f4ea4b9824 Config.in: Add a menu around BR2_EXTERNAL configuration options
To make it clear to the user that these options are external to Buildroot
and no support is provided by the Buildroot community.

With this, there's no need to recommend people to their options inside
a menu, so remove that from the documentation.

Kconfig nicely allows us to hide the menu completely if BR2_EXTERNAL isn't
used, so make use of that to not confuse people. It would be nice if we
could add some help text to explain the BR2_EXTERNAL stuff as well, but
that isn't supported on menus :/

a4239f7fd1 core: introduce the BR2_EXTERNAL variable
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.

f678e31086 manual: do not generate .pyc files
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

09dea8e8fb docs/manual: limit the depth of the TOC in the HTML output
The current TOC level is set to 4, which does not mean 'a 4-level deep TOC',
but really means 'a TOC deep to the 4th level', with the first level being
level 0, which means we have:

    12. Appendix
        12.1. Makedev syntax documentation
        12.2. Makeuser syntax documentation
        12.3. Partition table layout description syntax
            12.3.1. The global section
                Properties for the global section

Which a bit too much. And yet, the fifth level is not shown, since we
don't have any! :-/

Limit the depth of the TOC to three levels, which is just enough to be
usefull, yet not cluttered by low-level titles.

do sanity checks on installed files...

It is possible to call more than one script, by passing a space-separated
lists of scripts to call.

2c13d5bc60 package: add a <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS variable
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.

60cb290475 toolchain/wrapper: add option to print one argument per line
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.

f1f97b3a05 system: add option to pass extra args to post-build and post-image scripts
It can be useful to have different configuration use the same post-build
and/or post-image scripts as they share a common infrastructure, but yet
have minor differentiation.

This option allows passing zero or more additional arguments to each
post-build or post-image script.

The same set of extra arguments are passed to all scripts, it is not
possible to pass different arguments to each script.

need any of these, and only a few packages do require them.

It is not needed to list gzip and bzip2 since they are already checked
through ${DL_TOOLS}: whenever a package needs gzip or bzip2 for its

5538e47662 rework patch model
At the Buildroot Developers Meeting (4-5 February 2013, in Brussels) a change
to the patch logic was discussed. See

http://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysFOSDEM2013

for details. In summary:

* For patches stored in the package directory, if
  package/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply package/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch,
  otherwise, apply package/<pkg>/*.patch
* For patches stored in the global patches directory, if
  $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply
  $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch, otherwise, apply
  $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/*.patch

This patch adds the new BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR configuration item, and reworks
the generic package infrastructure to implement the new patch logic.

4705347ddf package: rename <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP to <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS
This commit renames the newly introduced <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP variable
to <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS, for two reasons:

 * <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS will not only "fixup" the scripts in
   $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin, but also remove them from
   $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin. So it is not only about doing a "fixup".

 * On the principle, it is strange that the variable carries an
   indication of the action that will take place on those files. It
   should rather be named to say "Here are the <foo>-config scripts",
   and let the package infrastructure decide if it should fix them up,
   remove them, etc.

This commit also updates the documentation accordingly.

1ed4996346 Make savedefconfig save to a configured file.
Store BR2_DEFCONFIG in .config, and use it to update the original input
defconfig file after updating the configuration.  When a config is
created by using the BR2_DEFCONFIG=... option, this is saved in the
.config file; later runs of savedefconfig will update that same location.
It is also possible to configure this place in the interactive
configuration.

The BR2_DEFCONFIG value itself is not saved into the generated
defconfig, since Kconfig considers it at its default. This is
intentional, to avoid hard-coding an absolute path in the defconfig.
It will anyway be set again when the defconfig is used with the
'make BR2_DEFCONFIG=... defconfig' command.

As a side-effect of this change, the *config options have been moved out
of the BR2_HAVE_DOT_CONFIG condition.  This doesn't make any functional
difference, because the .config is still not read for the *config targets.
However, the defconfig and savedefconfig targets do need to include
.config now, which makes them slightly slower.

834f9311aa pkg-infra: add <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP to fix *-config files
This patch will add <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP variable to buildroot infra.

It's purpose is to inform buildroot that the package in question
contains some $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/*-config files and that we
want to automatically fix prefixes of such files.

It is often the case that many packages call these
files during their configuration step to determine 3rd party
library package locations and any flags needed to link against them.

For example:
Some package might try to check the existense and linking flags
of NSPR package by calling $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/nspr-config --prefix.
Without this fix. NSPR would return /usr/ as it's prefix which is
wrong when cross-compiling.
Correct would be $(STAGING_DIR)/usr.

All packages that have <pkg>_INSTALL_STAGING = YES defined and
also install some config file(s) into $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin must
hereafter also define <pkg>_CONFIG_FIXUP with the correspondig
filename(s).

For example:

DIVINE_CONFIG_FIXUP = divine-config

or for multiple files:

IMAGEMAGICK_CONFIG_FIXUP = Magick-config Wand-config

Also, post-build scripts may need to reference a few locations, so export
those, too.

Note: we export both O and BASE_DIR. Although they are the same, BASE_DIR
is used internally, while O is used on the command line, which makes it a
bit ambiguous to know which to use. As users use O= on the command line,
they will probably tend to use that in their post-build scripts.

Update doc accordingly.

Creating a symbolic link for the download directory is really not a

The FAQ is before the section on package development, and only covers
user issues, not developer issues, so the FAQ entry about 'depends on'
vs. 'select' really doesn't have its place here.

And the 'depends on' vs. 'select' issue is already covered in a later
section, see

401d323698 docs/manual: add details on toolchain configuration
This commit adds a new section

 Working with Buildroot
  -> Details in configuration
    -> Cross-compilation toolchain

that gives a lot of details about our three toolchain backends. It
takes some elements that were previously later in the manual in
"Embedded basics" and in "External toolchain" and combines them with
more details about internal backend and Crosstool-NG backend.

The "Embedded basics" section becomes empty and is therefore
removed. A few elements have been lost in the process, but they were
considered to not be really useful, especially located so far in the
manual.

d21a858792 docs/manual: add a new 'Details on Buildroot configuration' section
As discussed with Samuel Martin, there are a few questions about some
Buildroot configuration aspects that come very often on the IRC
channel and on the mailing-list. Topics such as the /dev management
and init systems are often raised.

Therefore, this patch adds a new section that provides details about
the Buildroot configuration possibilities. It does not aim at
replacing the help text of each configuration option, but rather to
complement them by providing more background. Having those
informations in the manual will also make it easier for us to point
newcomers to the right place in the documentation when they have
questions.

Note that this section will replace the "Embedded basics" section that
comes way too late in the manual. This is done in a followup commit.

5e84b8b73c manual: rework the whole documentation stub
The new skeleton of the manual as it has been thought:
1.  About Buildroot:
     Presentation of Buildroot
2.  Starting up:
     Everything to quickly and easily start working with Buildroot
3.  Working with Buildroot
     Basics to make your work fitting your needs
4.  Troubleshooting
5.  Going further in Buildroot's innards
     Explaination of how buildroot is organised, how it works, etc
6.  Developer Guidelines
7.  Getting involved
8.  Contibuting to Buildroot
9.  Legal notice
10. Appendix

It is easy to distinguish two parts in this plan:
- Sections 1 to 4 mainly address people starting with Buildroot
- Sections 5 to 10 are more focused on how to develop Buildroot itself

Most of the existing sections have just been moved in the hierarchy,
few were split and dispatch in, what i think was the relevant section,
and numerous others have been created.

6c3e3ad419 New top-level directory: system
This directory groups the following elements:
 * the default root filesystem skeleton
 * the default device tables
 * the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for
   getty, system hostname, etc.)
 * the make rules to apply the system configuration options

Even though the skeleton and device tables could have lived in fs/, it
would have been strange to have the UART, system hostname and other
related options into fs/. A new system/ directory makes more sense.

As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which
has become useless in the process.

2359e1223f Clean up naming of old GENTARGETS infrastructure
With the renaming of XXXTARGETS to xxx-package, the names of the
pkg-xxx.mk files is inconsistent, as well as some internal names in
the documentation.  These inconsistencies are cleaned up here.

46fa5cbfb8 Rename XXXTARGETS to xxx-package
With the introduction of a specific macro for host targets, it was decided
to also make the names of the macros more intuitive: generic-package,
autotools-package and cmake-package.

c98337911c pkg-infra: add host-xxx-package macro
Create host-generic-package, host-autotools-package and
host-cmake-package macros.  Such a macro is more intuitive to use than
the $(call ...,host) construct.  Also it speeds things up by having
one less $(call ...) evaluation.

Also includes documentation update, but not for buildroot.html.

This brings the time for 'make -qp' (which is used by bash-completion)
down from 1.85s to 1.35s on my laptop.

9fd16a175b docs: rework LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD documentation
The current structure of the LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD paragraph would make
it difficult to add documentation for the "file" and "local" methods.
There are enough possible values for LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD that
describing them in a sub-list seems to work well, which makes it
easier to add documentation for new methods.

0a4856ce27 DOWNLOAD: change $1=DIRECTORY_URL, $2=FILE_NAME to $1=FULL_FILE_URL, $2=FILE_NAME
This modifies the definition of DOWNLOAD to receive two arguments:
the first one is the full URL of the file to download, whereas the second
(and optional) is the name the file will have once downloaded.

Same thing with the SOURCE_CHECK_WGET and SCP functions.

All calls to these functions have been changed to the shortest form of
the new API, except for toolchains acquisition. Since there is quite a
number of different toolchains this call to DOWNLOAD is better set to the
generic one.

b90b9cc70a docs: add favicon / robots.txt
In the past, these files of the buildroot website weren't under git
version control, but rather were static files added to the git checkout
used by the webserver.

This is no longer the case, so add them to git - And at the same time
use the Buildroot logo for the favicon, rather than reusing the busybox
one.
