boot/syslinux: fix i386 bios build with recent binutils

2017-08-16T20:54:03+00:00

When we use the cross-compiler to build syslinux with a recent binutils version, it fails with: /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld -Bsymbolic -pie -E --hash-style=gnu -T /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/core/i386/syslinux.ld -M -o ldlinux.elf ldlinux.o \ --start-group libcom32.a --whole-archive /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/bios/com32/lib/libcom32core.a libldlinux.a --end-group -N --no-omagic \ > ldlinux.map /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld: ldlinux.elf: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld: final link failed: Bad value /builds/arnout/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/core/Makefile:167: recipe for target 'ldlinux.elf' failed Backport an upstream patch that reorganises the i386 bios build by removing some symbols and making others hidden. To simplify the backport, an additional patch that also touches the link script is also included - it anyway looks like that patch could be relevant as well.

boot/syslinux: renumber patches

Also the last two are regenerated, their context has changed due to the patches that have been removed earlier. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

Globally replace $(HOST_DIR)/usr/share with $(HOST_DIR)/share

2017-07-05T13:21:31+00:00

Since things are no longer installed in $(HOST_DIR)/usr, the callers should also not refer to it. This is a mechanical change with git grep -l '$(HOST_DIR)/usr/share' | xargs sed -i 's%$(HOST_DIR)/usr/share%$(HOST_DIR)/share%g' Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

boot/syslinux: disable syslinux legacy-BIOS for broken toolchains

2017-07-04T16:29:35+00:00

Since [1] syslinux is built with the target toolchain in order to properly build with gnu-efi package. But toolchains built with binutils 2.26 break the syslinux legacy-BIOS build as reported at [2], due to binutils bug #19615. Thanks to Benoît Allard for the investigation and the link to the binutils bug [3].

boot/syslinux: drop patch 0008, not needed after gnu-efi update

2017-06-30T21:55:39+00:00

Thanks to the bump of gnu-efi from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6, patch 0008 in the syslinux package is no longer needed. More specifically, it's commit bf07e8141777e5a2d67ec8447084215224bdad4b in upstream gnu-efi that fixed the underlying issue.

syslinux: Add patch to build efi/wrapper with the host toolchain

syslinux: add missing dependency on host-util-linux

2017-06-11T13:21:30+00:00

If util-linux is not installed system-wide on the host, the build fails with: /usr/bin/gcc -Wp,-MT,isohybrid.o,-MMD,./.isohybrid.o.d -O2 -I/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/usr/include -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/utils -c -o isohybrid.o /home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/utils/isohybrid.c /home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/utils/isohybrid.c:40:23: fatal error: uuid/uuid.h: No such file or directory #include ^ compilation terminated. Therefore, this commit adds a dependency on host-util-linux, which will ensure that libuuid is available. The resulting isohybrid tool is really installed, and linked with libuuid: $ readelf -d output/host/usr/bin/isohybrid Dynamic section at offset 0x3e00 contains 26 entries: Tag Type Name/Value 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libuuid.so.1] 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libc.so.6] 0x000000000000000f (RPATH) Library rpath: [/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/usr/lib] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
