kmod: needs largefile

2015-03-04T18:29:54+00:00

Since version 20 it requires largefile support. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod.git/commit/?id=481ad14550087c77c9df6d117c7a975a38a4ad33 - Disable --disable-largefile. We already had possible bugs in the index implementation if this were passed. It's now fixed, but it's never tested. Disable it. Fix build failure: configure: error: --disable-largefile is not supported by kmod package/pkg-generic.mk:172: recipe for target 'output/build/kmod-20/.stamp_configured' failed Fixes: http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/f662d9230e4bc2da7dc56a2ffd493cc37254d377// http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/233ec8ee346e15d41658cffc6bbb4a6c9dd46746// [Thomas: - use two separate 'depends on' conditions for BR2_STATIC_LIBS and BR2_LARGEFILE, like we do in most packages. - take this opportunity to also indicate the dependency on dynamic library in the comment, which was missing until now.] Signed-off-by: Fabio Porcedda Cc: Baruch Siach Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

Rename BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS

2014-12-11T21:48:13+00:00

Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB should really build everything with static libraries. As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly. This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select shared, shared+static or just static. Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

Config.in files: use if/endif instead of 'depends on' for main symbol

2013-12-25T11:21:39+00:00

In the Config.in file of package foo, it often happens that there are other symbols besides BR2_PACKAGE_FOO. Typically, these symbols only make sense when foo itself is enabled. There are two ways to express this: with depends on BR2_PACKAGE_FOO in each extra symbol, or with if BR2_PACKAGE_FOO ... endif around the entire set of extra symbols. The if/endif approach avoids the repetition of 'depends on' statements on multiple symbols, so this is clearly preferred. But even when there is only one extra symbol, if/endif is a more logical choice: - it is future-proof for when extra symbols are added - it allows to have just one strategy instead of two (less confusion) This patch modifies the Config.in files accordingly.

kmod: does not support static builds

2013-09-02T21:22:14+00:00

Since kmod 14, the support for building a static library has been removed completely from kmod. Therefore, we mark kmod as !BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB, as well as all its reverse dependencies, which includes the option to use the "udev" /dev management method.
