2016-09-12syslinux: add patch to disable pieRyan Coe
Ubuntu 16.10 has pie enable by default. This causes a build failure with syslinux. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/1579023 Signed-off-by: Ryan Coe <bluemrp9@gmail.com> [Thomas: improve patch description.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
2016-05-01syslinux: fix boot hang when host-gcc is 5.3Frank Hunleth
Syslinux uses the host version of gcc to build to bootloader. On systems with gcc 5.3, this results in a bootloader that hangs. This issue has been addressed in upstream syslinux, but an official release has not been made yet. This commit adds the upstream patch to fix the issue. Most likely fixes bug #8866.

2015-03-04boot/syslinux: bump version to 6.03Romain Naour
Since 6.03 syslinux release, the gnu-efi sources are bundled whith syslinux. We need to force the build system to use the Buildroot's gnu-efi package. Remove the patch for find-gnu-efi.sh script which was removed, as well as the SYSROOT variable from the BUILD_CMDS, which is no longer needed. There are still some parallel build issues, so MAKE1 can't be removed for now. Add a hash file. Fix indentation.

2014-10-07.mk files: bulk aligment and whitespace cleanup of assignmentsThomas De Schampheleire
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. Signed-off-by: Thomas De Schampheleire <thomas.de.schampheleire@gmail.com> Cc: Yann E.

2014-05-03boot/syslinux: bump versionYann E. MORIN
This new version has a very, very weird build system. There are different images that syslinux can now build: - the plain legacy-bios images we already supported previously - two new EFI32 and EFI64 applications To build one or the other, the Makefile accepts one or more of: make (bios|efi32|efi64) Specify all of them, and it builds all. Specify 'install', and it installs all of them, as one may expect. Still a regular behaviour, is to build only a subset (down to one): make bios <-- builds just the legacy-bios images make efi32 bios <-- builds just the legacy-bios and efi32 images Where it gets weird is the install procedure. Can you guess how it's done? Hint: the syslinux guys have invented the multiple-argument parsing in pure Makefiles. To build then install only the bios images, one would do: make bios make bios install Yep, that's it. make bios install. Two arguments, one action. That makes for some funky workarounds in our install procedure... 'bios' is the only image we support so far, with efi to come in a future patch. Using MAKE1, as there are issues with highly-parallel builds. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

2014-05-03boot/syslinux: make the sub-options a choiceYann E. MORIN
Currently it is possible to choose either, both or none of the pxelinux or isolinux images. But it does not make sense to build none or both, as we need at least one to boot the target, and the target can not use more than one. So, we need one and only one image to be selected at once.

2014-04-20syslinux: remove host variantThomas Petazzoni
The host variant of syslinux wasn't exposed anywhere, so the only way to use it was to know that a "host-syslinux" target existed. Moreover, thanks to commit 8e0d4118982ae5a29e462f0a476d82772459cf5c ('syslinux: install helper programs to the host'), the host utilities of syslinux are automatically installed to $(HOST_DIR) when building the target syslinux.

2014-04-20syslinux: install helper programs to the hostFrank Hunleth
Even though syslinux is built for the target, it does create helper programs intended to be run on the host such as syslinux and extlinux. This change installs these helper programs to the host so that they may be called by post image creation scripts.

2013-12-25Config.in files: use if/endif instead of 'depends on' for main symbolThomas De Schampheleire
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.

2011-07-11Improve TARGETS handling for bootloaders and kernelThomas Petazzoni
As the kernel and bootloaders do not use the normal BR2_PACKAGE_* Kconfig options, their target name was not automatically added to the global TARGETS variable. Each bootloader .mk and the linux.mk had to add their own target manually to TARGETS, and the package infrastructure was making tests on non-existing Kconfig variables. This commit improves the package infrastructure so that it looks at BR2_PACKAGE_<pkg> for packages, BR2_TARGET_<pkg> for bootloaders and at the special BR2_LINUX_KERNEL for the linux package. This allows to simplify a little bit the bootloaders and linux .mk files. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
