Hello,
Here is a fifth iteration of the per-package SDK and target directory
implementation.
If you're interested in testing it, you can find the patch series at:
http://git.bootlin.com/users/thomas-petazzoni/buildroot/log/?h=ppsh-v5
However, if you want the full set of PPSH related patches, including
the package-specific fixes, and work on the Luarocks and Meson
infrastructure, you can pick up the following branch:
http://git.bootlin.com/users/thomas-petazzoni/buildroot/log/?h=ppsh-v5-work
I.e the ppsh-v5 branch is more for reviewing, while ppsh-v5-work is
more for testing the whole PPSH functionality.
Changes since v5
================
- Add patch "package/pkg-generic: adjust config scripts tweaks for
per-package folders" that adjusts how pkg-generic.mk fixes *-config
scripts, to use relative paths instead of absolute paths.
- Add patch "package/pkg-generic: make libtool .la files compatible
with per-package folders" that fixes libtool.la files for
per-package folders.
- Add patch "package/pkg-kconfig: handle KCONFIG_DEPENDENCIES with
per-package folders" that properly handles KCONFIG_DEPENDENCIES in
the pkg-kconfig infrastructure for per-package folders.
- Added Acked-by from Yann E. Morin on the following patches:
support/scripts/check-host-rpath: split condition on two statements
Makefile: evaluate CCACHE and HOST{CC,CXX} at time of use
- It is not included in this series, but since the v4 was sent, the
case of the Luarocks and Meson based packages have been fixed, and
I have sent separate series for these, because they can be merged
separately. Many thanks to François Perrad and Peter Seiderer for
providing very useful insights on Luarocks and Meson.
Changes since v4
================
- Dropped patches that have been merged upstream, mainly the "extract
dependency" patches, but also a few other preparation patches.
- Dropped the change of the RPATH handling. As discussed during
previous Buildroot Developers meeting, it is not a big problem if
during the build, the RPATH of a binary points to the library
folder of another package per-package folder. Therefore, instead of
fixing up RPATH at the end of each package installation, we keep
what Buildroot does today: fix them at the very end of the build.
- Made the support for per-package folders optional. Indeed, we
realized there was no way to make sure it would be perfect from day
1. Even if the principle works, there are lots of package-specific
details to solve, and solving all of them before merging the base
per-package folder support is not reasonable. So for now, an option
BR2_PER_PACKAGE_FOLDERS is introduced, which defaults to off. When
this option is enabled, the .NOTPARALLEL statement of the main
Makefile goes away, which allows to do top-level parallel build.
- Addition of a commit that reworks how the top-level directories are
created.
- Introduction of a prepare-per-package-folder function in
pkg-generic.mk to encapsulate the logic to create the per-package
folders from the dependencies of a package.
- Rebased on top of the latest master.
Changes since v3
================
- Dropped patches that have been merged upstream:
pkgconf: use relative path to STAGING_DIR instead of absolute path
toolchain: post-pone evaluation of TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BIN
- For now, removed the most controversial/complicated patches
(changing the rpath strategy, and switching to per-package
host/target directories). The goal for now is to merge only the
preparation patches.
Changes since v2
================
- Solved the problem of all DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ targets:
host-ccache, host-tar, host-lzip, host-xz, host-fakedate.
To achieve this, introduced <pkg>_EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES and used
that to handle the dependencies on host-tar, host-lzip and host-xz.
Used regular dependencies for host-ccache and host-fakedate.
See below for more details.
Changes since v1
================
- Rebased on the latest Buildroot next branch
- The pkg-config changes are reworked according to Arnout's comments:
only @STAGING_SUBDIR@ is replaced in pkg-config.in to generate
pkg-config, the rest of the logic is internal to the script.
- New patch to move the "host skeleton" logic into a proper
host-skeleton package.
- New patch to have the CMake related files generated as part of the
toolchain package.
- New patch to add a new "install" step that depends on the different
install steps (target, staging, images, host). This is needed to
later add some logic that is executed once all install steps of a
package have been done.
- Fix the approach to solve the RPATH logic: instead of using
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, we actually fix with patchelf the RPATH of host
binaries right after their installation.
- Misc other improvements in the per-package SDK implementation.
What is this all about ?
========================
See the cover letter of v3 for details:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2017-December/208384.html
What remains to be done?
========================
Known issues:
- The qt5 stack is entirely broken, because qmake hardcodes the
installation path to be $(STAGING_DIR), so all qt5 packages install
to the per-package $(STAGING_DIR) of qt5base.
