2017-02-07docs/manual: centralize recommendations about BR2_DL_DIRLuca Ceresoli
We currently have two places where we recommend where BR2_DL_DIR should be set: "Environment variables" and "Location of downloaded packages". The former recommends setting BR2_DL_DIR in the .config, the latter kind of endorses using ~/.bashrc. We prefer suggesting the ~/.bashrc way since it avoids downloading the same file multiple times, and anyway it's wise to have all the details in a unique place. So remove the .config suggestion from "Environment variables" and let it just point to "Location of downloaded packages". Cc: "Yann E.

2017-02-07docs/manual: suggest 'YES' as the value for LIBFOO_GIT_SUBMODULESLuca Ceresoli
The manual mentions LIBFOO_GIT_SUBMODULES but does not tell what value it should have. The implementation only checks whether the variable is non-empty, but we should suggest a specific value to avoid people wondering what they have to set, and to try setting weird values.

2016-12-27support/dependencies: ensure we have 'file' on the hostYann E. MORIN
Recently, the autoconf macros for libtool started using '/usr/bin/file' to determine the type of library that is generated by the toolchain. Packages that use this recent version of the libtool autoconf macros will fail in a rather dramatic way when /usr/bin/file is not present on the host: the package will still build but no shared library is generated, which in turn may cause build failures in other packages that link with it. For example, libpng's configure determines that it is not possible to build a shared library on MIPS64 because the expected output from 'file' is not present. Therefore, only a static libpng.a is built. Later, bandwithd links with -lpng but it doesn't use the pkg-config's Private-Libs (because it's not linking statically) and it doesn't have access to the NEEDED reference from the shared library. Therefore, it doesn't link with zlib and fails with pngrutil.c:(.text+0x55c): undefined reference to `inflate' We cant use host-file because it is itself an autotools package and is itself using libtool, so this would be a chicken-n-egg problem. Besides, the libtool script really wants to call /usr/bin/file, so it would not even find our host-file anyway. So, just require that '/usr/bin/file' is present on the host. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

2016-10-19docs/manual: document both user-facing br2-external variablesYann E. MORIN
While BR2_EXTERNAL_<NAME>_PATH was already documented, it was not made obvious that it could be reused in post-biuld, post-image and in-fakeroot scripts. The BR2_EXTERNAL_<NAME>_DESC variable was not documented at all. Update the manual to fix this. Note: a2x chokes on this: .Note: Both +BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_PATH+ and +BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_DESC+ are available [...] and spits out a totally useless error message: a2x: ERROR: "xsltproc" --stringparam toc.section.depth 1 --stringparam callout.graphics 0 --stringparam navig.graphics 0 --stringparam admon.textlabel 1 --stringparam admon.graphic 0 --stringparam chunk.section.depth 0 --output "/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/docs/manual/manual.html" "/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/xhtml.xsl" "/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/docs/manual/manual.xml" returned non-zero exit status 6 So, we had to resort to using different quoting styles for each variables. They are not semantically equivalent, but the rendering is the same with the default CSS (which we are using). That's gonna be good-enough for now...

2016-10-16core: allow a br2-external tree to override a defconfigYann E. MORIN
Currently, it is not possible for a br2-external tree to override a defconfig bundled in Buildroot, nor is it possible to override one from a previous br2-external tree in the stack. However, it is interesting that a latter br2-external tree be able to override a defconfig: - the ones bundled in Buildroot are minimalist, and almost always build a toolchain, so a br2-external tree may want to provide a "better" defconfig (better, in the sense "suited for the project"); - similarly for a defconfig from a previous br2-external tree. But we can't do that, as the rules for the defconfigs are generated in the order the br2-external trees are specified, all after the bundled defconfigs. Those rule are patten-matching rules, which means that the first one to match is used, and the following ones are ignored. Add a new utility macro, 'reverse', inspired from GMSL, that does what it says: reverse a list of words. Use that macro to reverse the list of br2-external trees, so that the latters win over the formers, and even over bundled ones. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
