Romain, All,
On 2016-08-05 16:53 +0200, Romain Perier spake thusly:
> This commits adds support for the AMD Catalyst Linux driver 15.9
> (15.201.1151). It includes the fglrx kernel module with various fixes
> to make it work with at least Linux kernel 4.4 LTS, the userspace OpenGL
> stack and the xorg driver module.

Indeed, much better. We'll have to trust the Gentoo guys that they did
not simply and blindly copy the corresponding kernel code...

Not really, it's only the X.org driver that needs it:

You select those three libs, but you do not depend on them at build
time. I suspect because they are only a runtime dependency, like acpid,
right?
In which case, please state so, and group runtime dependencies together.

I've just tried with:
--referrer='http://support.amd.com/'
and it is enough to trick the server into delivering the archive.

Just out of curiosity: I've seen that there are other drivers; at least
I could see (and DL) radeon-crimson-15.12-15.302-151217a-297685e.zip.
Do you have an idea how different the GPUs are, if Catalyst is suposed
to suport the whole range, if we could also add radeon-crimson as
another package (later!), how they all play together? ;-)
> +AMD_CATALYST_ARCH_DIR = $(@D)/arch/x86$(AMD_CATALYST_SUFFIX)
Given that AMD_CATALYST_ARCH_DIR is only ever used to construct the path
$(AMD_CATALYST_ARCH_DIR)/usr/X11R6/lib$(AMD_CATALYST_LIB_SUFFIX) maybe
it should directly refer to that path, so you don't have to repeat it
again and again, and that would make the commands a little bit shorter.

Like you did for the userland stuff, I'd have made that a "separate" (by
lack of better word) macro, and called it from the reall _CONFIGURE_CMDS
outside of the module conditional:
define AMD_CATALYST_PREPARE_MODULE
blabla
endef
and below, with the other traditional Buildroot macros:
define AMD_CATALYST_CONFIGURE_CMDS
$(AMD_CATALYST_PREPARE_MODULE)
endef
This is purely cosmetics in this case, granted, as you don't have
anything else to configure, but makes the file look more coherent.

I was gonna comment that they are not really a build dependency of this
package, as it provides only pre-built libraries.
However, the headers are needed by any package that wants to use libgl,
so they need to be installed bedfore any user of it, so the only way is
to have amd-catalyst depend on them, even if it does not them for
itself.
Maybe this would warrant a little comment?

Given that AMD_CATALYST_XPIC_DIR is only ever used to construct the path
$(AMD_CATALYST_XPIC_DIR)/usr/X11R6/lib$(AMD_CATALYST_LIB_SUFFIX) , maybe
it should directly refer to that path, so you don't have to repeat it
again and again, and that would make the commands a little bit shorter.

Please indent comment inside a macro at the same level you indent the

This comes from the Xorg's 'modules' sub-dir, but is installed in
another location. Is that intended? Why should it not go into
$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/xorg/modules/ ?

Maybe glesx could go in the AMD_CATALYST_XORG_DRIVERS_FILES since it
follows the same layout, no?
fglrx-libglx is not following this layout, so it has to have its own
separate command, indeed. Sigh.... :-(

Whithout checking, that's because the SONAME of the library is
libatiuki.so.1, right? If so, why not installing it directly as its
SONAME rather than have an unncessary symlink?
