package/linux-tools: fixes build of iio with 4.14+ kernels

2017-12-12T06:29:34+00:00

Since Linux kernel commit [1], the build of the iio tool has been changed to use the common Linux tools build system. The installation directory is now given by DESTDIR, like for all other Linux tools. We keep the INSTALL_DIR environment in the 'install' target to be compatible with kernels older than 4.14.

linux-tools/perf: fix build for MIPS by using the right emulation on LD

2017-10-23T16:42:27+00:00

Passing just the endianness flag to LD is not enough. We need to pass the right emulation flag which will set everything for us, not only the endianness. Signed-off-by: Vicente Olivert Riera Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)

package/linux-tools: add support for building tmon

Signed-off-by: Markus Mayer [Thomas: - tweak Config.in help text as provided by Markus - adjust commit log - add missing select BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES - add missing dependency on host-pkgconf, used by the tmon Makefile to find ncurses - add logic to disable -fstack-protector when the toolchain doesn't have SSP support.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

package/linux-tools: change method for including linux-tool sub-makefiles

2017-07-19T19:16:38+00:00

Make inclusion ordering of all linux-tool-*.mk sub-makefiles explicit instead of relying on alphabetical sort order. This is done by renaming the Linux tools sub-makefiles to the format linux-tool-*.mk.in. This causes the top-level Makefile to ignore the Linux tools sub-makefiles. Until now, the main Makefile included all linux-tool-*.mk files, as well as linux-tools.mk, and it relied on alphabetical sorting to include them in the proper order (linux-tool-*.mk before linux-tools.mk).

linux-tools: use the new gettext logic

2017-07-04T23:28:45+00:00

This commit switches to use the new gettext logic, which involves: - using TARGET_NLS_DEPENDENCIES instead of hand-encoded dependencies on gettext/host-gettext - using TARGET_NLS_LIBS to force linking against libintl - dropping BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT selection. The BR2_USE_WCHAR dependency was only needed for gettext, so it is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

package/linux-tools: don't register each tools twice

2016-09-23T06:08:54+00:00

Because each tool's individual .mk files is included from the top-level Makefile and we also include them from linux-tools.mk, they get registered twice, and thus built twice, and thus installed twice. We did include them from linux-tools.mk to guarantee they would be included early and each tool had a chance to register itself before we were to construct the build and install hooks. However, the ordering is _currently_ guaranteed, in the C locale by the files names, which we anyway sort using make's $(sort) function, which always sorts in the C locale. Beware if we are to ever rename those files in the future... Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Cc: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
