Hello All!
This patch series is an aggregation of the gettext rework by Samuel,
Maxime, Thomas, and I.
See this post for the 6 first patches:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-July/055871.html
[PATCH 01/11] gettext: remove option to build statically
[PATCH 02/11] gettext: remove the gettext-target make target, unused
[PATCH 03/11] gettext: remove libintl handling
[PATCH 04/11] Remove all references to libintl
[PATCH 05/11] gettext: convert to autotools-package
[PATCH 06/11] doc: update after gettext changes
The following 2 patches fix two packages in preparation for the end of the
series:
[PATCH 07/11] package/lshw: add missing dependency on gettext
[PATCH 08/11] package/pulseaudio: fix build-dependency on gettext
See this post for an explanation for the next 3 patches:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-August/058042.html
[PATCH 09/11] toolchain/common: rename BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT
[PATCH 10/11] toolchain/common: introduce blind options
BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT{,_IF_LOCALE}
[PATCH 11/11] packages: use the new gettext mechanism
The tests were done with two external uClibc-based toolchains built with
crosstool-NG, one with locale support, the other without. All packages
touched by the series were first built with both toolchains and the series
not applied (to check for any non-series related issues, see gmpc below),
then the series was fully applied, and the packages all re-built from
scratch.
gmpc failed to build, even before the series was applied, because it does
not link with -lm and thus misses some sumbols (eg. floor(3)). All other
packages were built successfully (albeit using a great deal of electrons
in the process! ;-) ). No test-run was done on my side.
Changes since v2:
- fix conversion to autotools to always build libintl, even if locales are
disabled, to fix packages that always require NLS
- thus removed Arnout's Tested-by on patch 5/11, as it has changed
- rebase on-top latest tree
- also C: Samuel on the introductory message
Changes since v1:
- drop the gettext-before-all patch (Arnout, Thomas)
- keep and simplify build-dependency against gettext (Arnout)
- add config-dependency against gettext for diffutils, flex, ndisc6
and util-linux, in patch 11
- rebase on-top latest tree (and upgrade new package linux-pam in the
process)
- update doc
- add Tested-by and Acked-by Arnout were he said so
- CC: Samuel Martin as a recognition for his original work on this topic,
which this series is based on. (Arnout)
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
