Makefile: fix rootfs overlay with BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR enabled

2016-05-13T20:07:14+00:00

Use rsync with '--keep-dirlinks' option to prevent rootfs overlay to overwrite /usr, /bin, /sbin and /lib links in case BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR option is enabled. Steps to reproduce failure: - enable BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR - mkdir some_path/rootfs-overlay/lib/firmware/some_file.txt - enable BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY="some_path/rootfs-overlay" - run 'make' - 'target/lib' contains only the files from 'some_path/rootfs-overlay/lib' instead of the original symlink 'lib -> usr/lib'.

purge-locales: Handle empty locale directories better

2016-04-28T21:48:09+00:00

If a locale directory is empty, shell code like "for langdir in $$dir/*;" will loop once with langdir set to "path/to/dir/*", rather than not looping at all, which would obviously be the desired behavior. Then "grep -qx $${langdir##*/}" ungoes two shell expansions (how?) that transform the expression from "${langdir##*/}" to "*" to "list of all files in buildroot root dir". Which is most certainly not what this command was supposed to do. If one of those files happens to be an 8GB flash image, grep consumes all available memory and crashes trying to search it.

Revert "core: add the possibility to provide help for custom rules"

2016-04-17T08:55:37+00:00

This reverts commit 84c825f8e893bfb56847ab4a880c46066a41744f. Turns out that the custom help is not available when the $(O) directory has not been configure yet (i.e. when there is no .config already filled). Rather than trying to work around this limitation with dirty hacks, just revert this feature. After all, this will not prevent an external.mk from providing custom help anyway; it's just not gonna be advertised nor displayed with the main help. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

Makefile: reset LD and AR environment variables

2016-04-15T07:48:56+00:00

The goal is to fix the compilation of perf (from linux) when LD or AR variables are inherited from the environment. After the linux upstream commits 5ef7bbb09f7b ("perf tools: Allow to specify custom linker command") and 3c71ba3f80bb ("perf tools: Really allow to specify custom CC, AR or LD") CC, AR, and LD variables are not overridden if they are inherited. In case of a cross compilation, it results in an inconsistent state: CC is overridden but not LD and AR.
