Currently, the check that packages we build are indeed enabled is done at the time a package is configured. This can come quite late in the build process, and does not provide direct knowledge of the real culprit for the incorrect dependency. However, we can improve these two issues quite easily, albeit at the expense of a very slightly more complicated make code. First, the check can not be done at the time we define the package, i.e. in the inner-generic-pacakge, because all its dependencies might have not been parsed yet, so we can't yet know whether it is enabled or not (because we can't match the package name of the dependency to its Kconfig variable yet). But then, we know we have all packages definitions after we scanned the the bundled packages, kernel, bootloaders and toolchains, as well as the br2-external tree (if any). So, at this location, we iterate through the list of enabled packages, and check that the packages they each depend on are indeed enabled. This allows us to: 1- do the check very early, before any build action, 2- report on the exact offending package very easily. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
