ccache: support changing the output directory

2015-10-04T16:22:21+00:00

When building in a different output directory than the original build, there will currently be a lot of ccache misses because in many cases there is some -I/... absolute path in the compilation. Ccache has an option CCACHE_BASEDIR to substitute absolute paths with relative paths, so they wil be the same in the hash (and in the output). Since there are some disadvantages to this path rewriting, it is made optional as BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR. It defaults to y because the usefulness of ccache is severely reduced without this option. In addition to CCACHE_BASEDIR, we also substitute away the occurences of $(HOST_DIR) in the calculation of the compiler hash. This is done regardless of the setting of BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR because it's quite harmless. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

blackbox: remove deprecated package

Also update legacy as well. And remove the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_2014_08 symbol since it's unused now. Signed-off-by: Gustavo Zacarias Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

core: fix download menu

2015-07-14T07:46:51+00:00

Currently, when one enables the "Only allow downloads from primary" option, all the other mirror options are hidden (expected!) but the LuaRocks and CPAN mirrors (bad!). Fix that. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

Build shared libraries only as the default

2014-12-11T23:09:41+00:00

Now that we have more options in terms of static/shared libraries, switch from the existing default of building both shared and static libraries to building shared libraries only (of course only on platforms that support shared libraries). Building both shared and static takes time (since the shared objects must be built with -fPIC, while static objects are generally built without, as -fPIC has some performance impact) and consumes a little bit more disk space. For example, a static+shared build of libglib2 takes 1 minutes and 59 seconds, with a final build directory of 96 MB. A shared-only build of libglib2 takes only 1 minutes and 31 seconds (almost a 25% reduction of the build time), and the final build directory weights 89 MB (a reduction of almost 8%). So, switching to a shared library only build brings some useful build time and build size benefits. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Acked-by: "Yann E. MORIN"
