[Buildroot] [PATCH v8] package/sysdig: New package

[Ryan Barnett]

Angelo,

Sorry for the noise before I have now had a change to actually
download and try your patch out. Please see the issues that I have had
when just doing a build with 'make sysdig'

This doesn't work because when I do a build and run file on the .ko I
get the following:

$ file build/sysdig-0.1.99/buildroot-build/driver/sysdig-probe.ko
build/sysdig-0.1.99/buildroot-build/driver/sysdig-probe.ko: ELF 64-bit
LSB  relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
BuildID[sha1]=0ea061af98e9fd2b5ba04d2be1c309833a20217a, not stripped

My target was a Cortex-A5 (arm 32-bit LE). So this patch isn't working
because I think KERNELDIR is being set by above to /lib/modules$(shell
uname -r)/build

So in order to use this patch with buildroot we need to modify the
sysdig.mk in order to make this work.

In order to make sure the kernel driver is actually cross compiling
with buildroot's kernel I had to add the following:

SYSDIG_MAKE_ENV = KERNELDIR="$(LINUX_SRCDIR)" \
          LINUX_MAKE_FLAGS='$(LINUX_MAKE_FLAGS)'

(Note: spacing should be a tab).

I think your dependancy should be on 'jsoncpp' instead of libjson. I
was unable to detect jsoncpp in the configure step when just running:

'make sysdig'
