syslinux: build with the target toolchain

2017-04-08T14:07:49+00:00

Until now, the host toolchain was used to build syslinux, as it was not possible to build a 32-bit syslinux with a x86-64 toolchain. However, syslinux requires gnu-efi, and gnu-efi is built using the target toolchain. Mixing different toolchains doesn't work well, so this commit changes the syslinux package to use the target toolchain for syslinux as well. This is made possible by patches 0003-Fix-ldlinux.elf-Not-enough-room-for-program-headers-.patch and 0004-memdisk-Force-ld-output-format-to-32-bits.patch. Since syslinux also contains some utilities that have to run on the host, those have to continue being built with the host toolchain, which requires patch 0005-utils-Use-the-host-toolchain-to-build.patch. Patch 0006-lzo-Use-the-host-toolchain-for-prepcore.patch is about building prepcore, another utility with the host toolchain as it is required at build-time. This was tested using a Buildroot's built x86_64 toolchain, and checked that the output binaries are 32-bits. It was tested as well if they actually boot on hardware.

syslinux: use Git formatted patches

boot, linux, package: use SPDX short identifier for GPLv2/GPLv2+

2017-04-01T13:16:38+00:00

We want to use SPDX identifier for license strings as much as possible. SPDX short identifier for GPLv2/GPLv2+ is GPL-2.0/GPL-2.0+.

syslinux: add patch to disable pie

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.

.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
