syslinux: fix boot hang when host-gcc is 5.3

2016-05-01T20:22:11+00:00

Syslinux uses the host version of gcc to build to bootloader. On systems with gcc 5.3, this results in a bootloader that hangs. This issue has been addressed in upstream syslinux, but an official release has not been made yet. This commit adds the upstream patch to fix the issue. Most likely fixes bug #8866.

boot/syslinux: bump version to 6.03

2015-03-04T22:02:53+00:00

Since 6.03 syslinux release, the gnu-efi sources are bundled whith syslinux. We need to force the build system to use the Buildroot's gnu-efi package. Remove the patch for find-gnu-efi.sh script which was removed, as well as the SYSROOT variable from the BUILD_CMDS, which is no longer needed. There are still some parallel build issues, so MAKE1 can't be removed for now. Add a hash file. Fix indentation. [Thomas: fix minor typos in a new comment in the .mk file.] Signed-off-by: Romain Naour Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

.mk files: bulk aligment and whitespace cleanup of assignments

2014-10-07T13:00:28+00:00

The Buildroot coding style defines one space around make assignments and does not align the assignment symbols. This patch does a bulk fix of offending packages. The package infrastructures (or more in general assignments to calculated variable names, like $(2)_FOO) are not touched. Alignment of line continuation characters (\) is kept as-is. The sed command used to do this replacement is: find * -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -i \ -e 's#^$[A-Z0-9a-z_]\+$\s*$[?:+]\?=$\s*$#\1 \2#' -e 's#^$[A-Z0-9a-z_]\+$\s*$[?:+]\?=$\s*$[^\\]\+$$#\1 \2 \3#' -e 's#^$[A-Z0-9a-z_]\+$\s*$[?:+]\?=$\s*$[^\\ \t]\+\s*\\$\s*$#\1 \2 \3#' -e 's#^$[A-Z0-9a-z_]\+$\s*$[?:+]\?=$$\s*\\$#\1 \2\3#' Brief explanation of this command: ^$[A-Z0-9a-z_]\+$ a regular variable at the beginning of the line $[?:+]\?=$ any assignment character =, :=, ?=, += $[^\\]\+$ any string not containing a line continuation $[^\\ \t]\+\s*\\$ string, optional whitespace, followed by a line continuation character $\s*\\$ optional whitespace, followed by a line continuation character Hence, the first subexpression handles empty assignments, the second handles regular assignments, the third handles regular assignments with line continuation, and the fourth empty assignments with line continuation. This expression was tested on following test text: (initial tab not included) FOO = spaces before FOO = spaces before and after FOO = tab before FOO = tab and spaces before FOO = tab after FOO = tab and spaces after FOO = spaces and tab after FOO = \ FOO = bar \ FOO = bar space \ FOO = \ GENIMAGE_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf libconfuse FOO += spaces before FOO ?= spaces before and after FOO := FOO = FOO = FOO = FOO = $(MAKE1) CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) -C AT91BOOTSTRAP3_DEFCONFIG = \ AXEL_DISABLE_I18N=--i18n=0 After this bulk change, following manual fixups were done: - fix line continuation alignment in cegui06 and spice (the sed expression leaves the number of whitespace between the value and line continuation character intact, but the whitespace before that could have changed, causing misalignment. - qt5base was reverted, as this package uses extensive alignment which actually makes the code more readable. Finally, the end result was manually reviewed. Signed-off-by: Thomas De Schampheleire Cc: Yann E. Morin Cc: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

package: remove the trailing slash sign from _SITE variable

2014-07-31T21:17:46+00:00

Since the trailing slash is stripped from $($(PKG)_SITE) by pkg-generic.mk: $(call DOWNLOAD,$($(PKG)_SITE:/=)/$($(PKG)_SOURCE)) so it is redundant. This patch removes it from $(PKG)_SITE variable for BR consistency. Signed-off-by: Jerzy Grzegorek Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

boot/syslinux: install in a sub-dir of $(BINARIES_DIR)

2014-05-03T20:05:30+00:00

Since syslinux can now install quite a number of files, install them in a sub-directory of $(BINARIES_DIR) for clarity. It also aligns it to rpi-firmware, grub2, gummiboot, that install all of their files in a sub-dir of $(BINARIES_DIR), too. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
