transmission: correct gtk dependencies after NLS rework

2017-09-01T22:41:32+00:00

With the recent NLS rework, BR2_ENABLE_NLS doesn't imply the absense of --disable-nls, so configure may fail with: configure: error: "The gtk client cannot be built without nls support. Try adding either --enable-nls or --without-gtk" So adjust the dependencies to use BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS instead. As mentioned by Arnout, an alternative solution could be to explicitly pass --enable-nls as the stub functions are now available everywhere - But I went with the dependency for consistency reasons.

transmission: gtk option needs libgtk3

2017-09-01T22:37:48+00:00

Fixes the following configure issue: checking for GTK... no configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.4.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.32.0 gio-2.0 >= 2.26.0, gmodule-2.0 >= 2.32.0 gthread-2.0 >= 2.32.0) were not met: libgtk2 support was dropped in commit cdd71c642724 ((trunk gtk) #4970 remove deprecated GTK+ API calls, raise GTK+ dependency to 3.2) which was part of transmission-2.61.

package/simicsfs: remove package

2017-08-30T20:16:37+00:00

Buildroot currently packages version 1.18 of simics, which is quite out of date, and does not compile with Linux 4.12+. The latest package v1.22 supports recent kernels, however that is not publicly available anymore like the older versions. In fact Simics is now moving away from the simicsfs kernel module, as the kernel module has required too much maintenance work. Users should move to the new user mode Simics agent instead. Therefore, we drop the corresponding package from Buildroot. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

grub2: force -fno-stack-protector in CFLAGS

2017-08-30T20:09:21+00:00

grub2 fails to configure when BR2_SSP_ALL is enabled, with the following configure error: checking whether -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables works... yes checking whether -fno-unwind-tables works... yes checking for target linking format... unknown configure: error: no suitable link format found This can be worked around by enforcing -fno-stack-protector in the package CFLAGS in a way that overrides the SSP flag, as is already done for the valgrind package.
