The "project" feature was designed to allow to several projects to be
built inside the same Buildroot source tree and allowing the toolchain
and non-configurable packages to be shared between the different
projects on the same architecture. While being interesting in theory,
this feature adds a level of complexity to Buildroot, both from an
user perspective and from a developer perspective, while one of the
main Buildroot strengh is to be simple. Moreover, this feature is only
seldomly used by our users.
From a user-level perspective, this for example allows to remove the
project_build_ARCH directory, which was very confusing. The
autotools-stamps directory is also removed, since these stamps are
back at their normal location.
Description of the changes involved :
* project/, directory removed
* Makefile
- Don't include project/Makefile.in and project/project.mk anymore
- Grab a copy of the contents of project/Makefile.in at the
location it was imported, but remove the definition related to
PROJECT_BUILD_DIR. The TARGET_DIR is now in
$(BUILD_DIR)/target_dir
- Remove the creation/removal of the $(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR) and
$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/autotools-stamps directories
- Don't make world depends on target-host-info. This target was
defined by project/project.mk to customize /etc/issue,
/etc/hostname and create /etc/br-version depending on the
project definitions. We can of course imagine re-adding such a
feature later.
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR everywhere
- Remove the update, log and lognr.$(PROJECT) target, they were
specific to the project feature.
* package/Makefile.autotools.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR for the location of the
configure cache
- Move the INSTALL_TARGET and HOOK_POST_INSTALL stamps to the same
directory as the other stamps (i.e, in the package directory).
* package/Makefile.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR for the location of the
configure cache
* package/at/at.mk,
package/busybox/busybox.mk,
package/busybox/initramfs.mk,
package/customize/customize.mk,
package/linux-fusion/linux-fusion.mk,
package/ltp-testsuite/ltp-testsuite.mk,
package/nfs-utils/nfs-utils.mk,
target/cpio/cpioroot.mk,

target/linux/Makefile.in,
target/romfs/romfs.mk,
target/squashfs/squashfsroot.mk,
target/tar/tarroot.mk,
target/ubifs/ubifsroot.mk
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR
* target/device/Config.in
- Do not include project/Config.in anymore
* target/linux/Makefile.in.advanced
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR
- Store the stamps file in $(STAMP_DIR) instead of
$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/autotools-stamps
* target/u-boot/Makefile.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR
- Remove $(PROJECT) from the U-Boot target binary name
- Remove the insertion in the configuration of the project name as
the hostname
- The u-boot-autoscript target now generates
$(U_BOOT_AUTOSCRIPT).img instead of
$(U_BOOT_AUTOSCRIPT).$(PROJECT)
* toolchain/gcc/gcc-uclibc-3.x.mk
toolchain/gcc/gcc-uclibc-4.x.mk
- Move the stamps files to $(STAMP_DIR)

Fix problem with dns resolv, by copying the libnss_dns.so to the rootfs.
Using glibc from external toolchain, name resolving does not work,
unless libnss_dns.so is available on the target.

BR2_UCLIBC_PROGRAM_INVOCATION is a toolchain configuration option,
like BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, on which some packages
depend. Therefore, it should be handled like BR2_INET_IPV6 and
BR2_INET_RPC in order to work properly with external toolchains.
Since we move it out of toolchain/uClibc/Config.in into
toolchain/Config.in.2, we rename the option to BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION
(since BR2_INET_RPC and others don't have UCLIBC in their name).

Closes#421.
This patch cleans up and fixes some minor issues with the locale support
section of the toolchain menu.
1. uClibc requires wchar support if locales are enabled, make locale
support select wchar support.
2. Allow purging of locale information even if there is no locale
support in the C library. This cleans up after packages that
install things into /usr/share/locale on the target.

As a minimal test to the external toolchain, check that $(TARGET_CC)
is actually an existing executable file. That way, if the user
misconfigures the toolchain path and/or prefix, a meaningful error
message will be shown.

Lionel Landwerlin <lionel.landwerlin@openwide.fr> reported that using
the external toolchain support when LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 doesn't work,
since the messages printed by gcc -v are translated in another
language, defeating the grep ^Configured test.
Therefore, as per Lionel suggestion, we force LANG=C when calling
$(TARGET_CC) -v.

* Introduce documentation for each function of ext-tool.mk, and
document all parameters of the functions.
* Pass SYSROOT_DIR as argument to all functions that require it,
instead of computing it manually everywhere
* Use $(shell) instead of backquotes
* Check that the SYSROOT_DIR variable is not empty, which means that
the external toolchain doesn't support --sysroot. In that case,
bail out with a nice error message.

This patch adds some checks on the external toolchains.
First, it checks that the C library selection is correct, by looking
if gcc is able to find the main C library file through the
-print-file-name option.
Then, it attempts to check if the Buildroot toolchain options match
the configuration of the toolchain :
* for glibc, it checks that IPv6, RPC, locales, wide-char, large file
support Buildroot options are enabled, since with glibc all these
features are always available (at least this is the assumption we
make) ;
* for uClibc, it checks the Buildroot options with the uClibc
configuration file in $SYSROOT_DIR/usr/include/bits/uClibc_config.h

The current Buildroot works just well with sysrootable glibc
toolchains, using the external toolchain feature. The only thing that
needs to be customized is the set of libraries that must be compiled
to the target.
The following patch takes a simple approach to making it easier for
users to use glibc toolchains. It just adds a uClibc/glibc choice in
the external toolchain menu. Then, depending on that selection, the
configuration system will choose a sane default value for the library
files list.
The other advantage of having a uClibc/glibc choice is that in the
future, we'll be able to add checks verifying that the external
toolchain configuration matches the features selected in Buildroot (in
terms of IPv6, RPC, locales or large file support).
