The ncurses sub-options BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_TARGET_{FORM,MENU,PANEL}
are currently very badly broken: they only control whether the
libform, libmenu and libpanel libraries are installed in
$(TARGET_DIR), but do absolutely nothing about their installation in
$(STAGING_DIR).
This means that when one of those options is disabled, the
corresponding library is indeed not installed in the target, but is
available in staging. It can therefore be detected by the configure
script of another package and used... even though the library will not
be in the target, causing a runtime failure.
Internally, ncurses.mk uses the "make install" logic of ncurses for
the staging installation, but uses a completely hand-written logic for
the target installation, which is the reason for this
desynchronization between what's installed in staging and target.
When BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_WCHAR=y, this also causes some build
failures. Indeed, when BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_WCHAR=y, Buildroot creates
some symbolic links lib<foo>.so -> lib<foo>w.so in staging and target,
but only for the lib<foo> that have been enabled by
BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_TARGET_{FORM,MENU,PANEL}. Due to this, a package
that for example needed the libmenu library but forgot to select
BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_TARGET_MENU was:
- Building fine with BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_WCHAR disabled (because
libmenu.so exists in staging), but would fail to run at runtime
because libmenu.so is not in the target.
- Fail to build with BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_WCHAR=y because only
libmenuw.so exists, and not the libmenu.so symbolic link.
Since those libraries are small (43K for libform, 21K for libmenu and
8.2K for libpanel), this commit takes the very simple approach of
removing those options, and installing the libraries
unconditionally. It therefore uses the "make install" logic for both
the staging *and* target installation.
In detail, this commit:
- Removes the NCURSES_PROGS variable, not needed since
--without-progs already allows to disable the build and
installation of programs.
- Removes the NCURSES_LIBS-y variable, and replaces it with a single
unconditional assignement to NCURSES_LIBS, only used to create the
lib<foo>w.so -> lib<foo>.so symbolic links when wchar support is
enabled.
- Removes NCURSES_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS and the functions it was
calling: NCURSES_INSTALL_TARGET_LIBS and
NCURSES_INSTALL_TARGET_PROGS.
- Adds a NCURSES_TARGET_SYMLINK_RESET hook to create the reset ->
tset symbolic link, as was done before.
- Adds a NCURSES_TARGET_CLEANUP_TERMINFO to cleanup the terminfo
files in the target, so that we stay in the same situation in terms
of installed terminfo files.
- Removes the BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_TARGET_{FORM,MENU,PANEL} options
from the Config.in files: both their definition and usage.
- Simplifies all the symlink dance for lib<foo> -> lib<foo>w, because
as Yann E. Morin suggested, this dance is only needed in staging, not
in the target. Once binaries have been built, they refer to the
SONAME of the library, which is the lib<foo>w variant (for shared
linking). For static linking and .pc files, it's obvious that we
don't care about them on the target. Therefore the
NCURSES_LINK_LIBS_STATIC, NCURSES_LINK_LIBS_SHARED and
NCURSES_LINK_PC functions no longer take any argument: they always
apply to STAGING_DIR only. NCURSES_LINK_TARGET_LIBS is removed.
It is worth mentioning that adding Config.in.legacy support is *NOT*
necessary. Indeed:
- If they were disabled before this patch, having them in
Config.in.legacy would not trigger the legacy warning.
- If they were enabled before this patch, then the behavior is
unchanged: all libraries are now unconditionally installed. So
there is no point in warning the user.
We double-checked the installed size of a filesystem containing just
ncurses before and after this patch, and the only folder that has its
size changed is /usr/lib, growing from 852 KB to 932 KB in the wchar
enabled case. That's a 80 KB system size increase.
This commit fixes the sngrep build failure and potentially numerous
runtime issues with ncurses.

This reverts commit a3365ebf72, and
marks kismet as not available for static builds.
Commit a3365ebf72 is indeed
insufficient, since kismet uses <dlfcn.h> in two places, both in
kismet_server and kismet_client. And it's fairly unlikely that kismet
will be used in pure static environments, so let's not support this
use case.

In the Config.in file of package foo, it often happens that there are other
symbols besides BR2_PACKAGE_FOO. Typically, these symbols only make sense
when foo itself is enabled. There are two ways to express this: with
depends on BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
in each extra symbol, or with
if BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
...
endif
around the entire set of extra symbols.
The if/endif approach avoids the repetition of 'depends on' statements on
multiple symbols, so this is clearly preferred. But even when there is only
one extra symbol, if/endif is a more logical choice:
- it is future-proof for when extra symbols are added
- it allows to have just one strategy instead of two (less confusion)
This patch modifies the Config.in files accordingly.

When a package A depends on config option B and toolchain option C, then
the comment that is given when C is not fulfilled should also depend on B.
For example:
config BR2_PACKAGE_A
depends on BR2_B
depends on BR2_LARGEFILE
depends on BR2_WCHAR
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
This comment should actually be:
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on BR2_B
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
or if possible (typically when B is a package config option declared in that
same Config.in file):
if BR2_B
comment "A needs a toolchain w/ largefile, wchar"
depends on !BR2_LARGEFILE || !BR2_WCHAR
[other config options depending on B]
endif
Otherwise, the comment would be visible even though the other dependencies
are not met.
This patch adds such missing dependencies, and changes existing such
dependencies from
depends on BR2_BASE_DEP && !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC
to
depends on BR2_BASE_DEP
depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC
so that (positive) base dependencies are separate from the (negative)
toolchain dependencies. This strategy makes it easier to write such comments
(because one can simply copy the base dependency from the actual package
config option), but also avoids complex and long boolean expressions.
