2012-05-18ccache: allow dynamic selection of cache directoryThomas De Schampheleire
The existing ccache infrastructure sets the cache directory hardcoded in the ccache binary. As this directory was set to ~/.buildroot-ccache, the cache is not necessarily local (e.g. in corporate environments the home directories may be mounted over NFS.) Previous versions of buildroot did allow to set the cache directory, but this was also hardcoded (so you had to rebuild ccache to change it), plus that support was removed. See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-July/044511.html for a discussion on this. This patch modifies ccache to respect a new shell variable (exported from the Makefile, based on a configuration option) instead of CCACHE_DIR. The name CCACHE_DIR itself is already used by autotargets for the ccache package.

2012-03-15config: improve help text and prompt for debugging related optionsThomas Petazzoni
The help text for the choice of different stripping levels is removed, since it is not displayed by menuconfig. Instead, only the per-option help text is visible, so this text is improved.

2012-03-15debug: do not force installation of gdbserverThomas Petazzoni
The BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG option selects the compilation and installation of gdbserver on the target. This is a bit restrictive, especially for external toolchains, which may already contain a gdbserver on the target.

2012-03-08ccache: set COMPILERCHECK to 'none'Thomas Petazzoni
This allows ccache to re-use its cache contents even if the compiler binary mtime has changed. It is the simplest approach to solve this problem, and it works for the internal, external and crosstool-ng toolchain backends. Of course, it leaves the user responsible for invalidating the cache when necessary, but there doesn't seem to be a real good solution that allows both to: 1/ keep the cache contents accross builds and re-use it and 2/ invalidate the cache automatically when the compiler chances in an incompatible way.

2012-02-02Add basic config infrastructure for host utilitiesThomas Petazzoni
Most of the host packages don't have to be exposed to the user as they are only used as build dependencies of target packages. However, some host utilities, such as flashing utilities, image creation programs, specific debuggers, might be useful and should be presented to the user. Therefore, we have a new global menu, which lists those host utilities. These utilities are described in package/*/Config.in.host files, which will be sourced by package/Config.in.host.

2011-11-27GENTARGETS: add support for scp://Thomas De Schampheleire
This patch adds support for scp:// both for use in the package Makefiles, as for the BR2_PRIMARY_SITE variable.

2011-09-30Add support for local packages through 'file://' pseudo-protocolDavid Wagner
This can be used this way : <pkg>_VERSION = 42 <pkg>_SITE = file:///some/local/directory <pkg>_SOURCE = mypkg-$(<pkg>_VERSION).tar.bz2 Can be useful to integrate a home-made project or for testing purposes. The default command to retrieve files is 'cp' but 'rsync' could also be used. Through sshfs, it should also be possible to get non-public remote files on a ssh server.

2011-09-29package: add configuration option to specify a local override fileThomas Petazzoni
The user can now create a custom local override file to override the source directory for various packages. An example override file: ZLIB_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /tmp/zlib STRACE_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /opt/strace-4.5.20 would tell Buildroot to use the zlib and strace source code from the specified directories, instead of download, extracting and patching the code has done usually by Buildroot.

2011-02-07debugging: do not require no strippingMike Frysinger
The stripping options operate on the final image and not the intermediate builds, so requiring stripping to be disabled just to enable debugging options doesn't make much sense. Especially when working with gdbserver: only the host needs the debugging information to be available. The board can run & debug perfectly fine without it.

2011-02-02toolchain: introduce HOST_DIR optionGustavo Zacarias

2010-12-16Stop referencing the crazy target/device stuffThomas Petazzoni
We don't need Config.in and Makefile in target/device: defconfig files are sufficient to describe the specificities of a board (architecture, compilation flags, bootloader and kernel details, etc.). However, a placeholder such as target/device will be kept in order to host things such as kernel configuration files or various board-specific patches.

2010-11-05Remove support for shared configuration cacheThomas Petazzoni
The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it altogether. This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache infrastructure and usage.
