better, much much better

merge in trunk rev. 3426

copy trunk/freewrt r3264 into a new branch for making the nfo system
because upgrading the old adk branch would be a hell more work

if make menuconfig with empty .config don't bail out early

replace mkpasswd and /usr/bin/encrypt by portable md5crypt on
fwwif and mirmake basis; tested on GNU/Linux for now

add some more no_kernel architectures, some are verified, some not, i get some new hardware soon, to verify the toolchain and some packages :}

there is no ${FWRT_WGET} or ${WGET}

GNU make sucks. Its handling of whitespace just plainly sucks.
It sucks so much that it can pull whales through nanotubes.

this might fix bsd make (mkdep(1)) with ccache

no_kernel target for xscale cpu, like horstbox

add some special-casing, requested by ulmen@

simplify kernel version selection
this code depends on Config.in always defining either
FWRT_LINUX_2_4 xor FWRT_LINUX_2_4 to 'y'

look better

by request of wbx@:

sort out the mess we had in ${TOPDIR}/staging_dir_${ARCH} and introduce
some new variables:
• ${STAGING_DIR} stays the same, but has a different location now
• ${STAGING_TOOLS} is where executables for the host system go
• ${STAGING_PARENT} is ${TOPDIR}/cross_${ARCH} and has three (at
  the moment) subdirectories: host (i.e. STAGING_TOOLS), target
  (i.e. STAGING_DIR) and pkg (used by package.mk, pkg-bottom.mk)
  but is an internal-use-only variable - please don't use it.

this builds through with a non-default config; more testing will follow

• strip the value of FWRT_JLEVEL off spaces
• setting FWRT_JLEVEL to -1 will make the number unlimited

• bring back the ability to do parallel makes as before, but
  actually depending on the config symbol FWRT_JLEVEL being
  not empty, 0 or 1
• while here, $V defaults to 99 since a few weeks

introduce FWRT_DEVEL to mark platforms/boards which are not ready for release

provide host CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS in more than one way to the
scripts etc. – assists in fixing nfs-utils

• revert the addition of “build gmake as part of tools“, it had too
  many problems
• for now, gmake 3.81 IS REQUIRED
• clean up

fix relative./.absolute pathname issue, my bad

okay, this sucks…

oops

try to work around hen-egg problem, sorry dnehring@, please continue to test this, I cannot

* no reason to use gmake 3.80 compatible cruft now
  XXX someone please double-check base-files-arch/Makefile
* whitespace cleanup *sigh*

* readd ccache functionality
* fix ccache issue with openssl
* fix ccache issue with libpri
* kernel is now also build explicit with CC="$(TARGET_CC)", thus it's ccached
* drop unnecessary sed call in kernel-build.mk while there

unbreak running e.g. make menuconfig without .config already
existing, I broke it in -r2049, thanks to dnehring@ for noticing

if this should still be triggered someplace, contact me

Mmh, saturday evening, still no beer.

fix up the ${UNAME_*} mess for non-2.4-mipsel targets
(besides mipsel and i386, other targets may be added later)

kernel upgraders: the version number is now set in rules.mk!

the already-existing global ${HOSTCFLAGS} was not used when
determining ${HOST_CFLAGS} from ${CFLAGS} and setting a default;
use it (so that HOSTCFLAGS = HOST_CFLAGS) and the defaults

* we override LC_ALL (already), no need to do it twice
* LANG is overridden by LC_ALL anyway
* on some systems, GNU dcgettext overrides LC_ALL with
  LANGUAGE, so we force-set that to 'C' as well

merged from branches/common-adk 1310:1685

the following packages are not converted yet:
* alsa
* asterisk
* pmacct
* zaptel
* elinks
* libgd
* lua
* mypackage
* openser
* php*
* snort*
* tmsnc

additionally, freeradius doesn't compile.

happy fixing :P

add -fno-ident, on the host too (I wonder what host-built
files get into the target... libgcc probably)

optimise for size by default

even so, everything is much much larger than on i386-bsd,
is that the libraries, the compiler or the platform's fault?

add an extra option in menuconfig for your own prefix for 
firmware image files. useful if you develop your own appliance 
based on freewrt buildroot. 

merge wbx-target-cleanup to trunk.
- mk directory for some top level makefiles (build.mk,vars.mk)
- add a separate configfs partition to all models, 128 kb big
- add model and platform specific startup files and kernel configs
- delete target/linux/package, add all addon kernel packages to packages
- simplify target/linux/brcm-2.4/Makefile, abstraction to mk/ comes later
- add target/image directory, place where the different images are created
- default off for all extra packages, be sure that you enable all packages
  you need to get a dsl-capable router. snapshots will be created by a specific config which contains all needed stuff (iptables, pppoe, pptp, haserl, webif)

by request of wbx@ add a "licence boilerplate" which can (or should,
or ought to) be added to (almost) any file in the repository, to pre-
vent companies who only check out part of the sources from thinking
it's unlicenced, public domain or whatever.

Please use the template as shown in build.mk or here:

----- cutting here may damage your screen surface -----
# $FreeWRT$
#-
# This file is part of the FreeWRT project. FreeWRT is copyrighted
# material, please see the LICENCE file in the top-level directory
# or at http://www.freewrt.org/license for details.

----- cutting here may damage your screen surface -----

at the top of the file (after a shebang line, if required).

Both this "boilerplate" and the according change to the website
have been okay'd by wbx@ as well as this textual change itself.

fix for Ticket #50

as discussed with wbx@ some 2-3 weeks ago, change
the BR2_ prefix to FWRT_

tested with a standard build (only the squashfs
image since the jffs2 didn't get built)

speed up build and ease transition to BSD make by determining
HOST_ARCH during make prereq and cacheing it in prereq.mk too

move off everything which can be done by both BSD and GNU make into vars.mk
and shuffle rules.mk appropriately

move the export line from prereq.mk to rules.mk and remove SHELL from it
since that's special (always use ${BASH} if you must) according to TFM

make this more readable

only whitespace and comment changes

build mkpasswd on GNU/Linux host only, use BSD encrypt(1) otherwise

without this patch, mkpasswd cannot ever have worked on GNU/Linux even

use the tar frontend instead of the cpio frontend for extracting here
saves calls to zcat and redirection, besides, paxmirabilis maybe will
be able to do direct gzio soonish

let it autodetect the LZMA path

(another reason to use BSD: there you simply use
$ mmake show=VARNAME
in the MirPorts Framework, or
$ make ___DISPLAY_MAKEVARS=VARNAME
in mirmake but without any support from any *.mk include)

abort on unknown file extension

remove more dead code, and fix my fix to gcom's Makefile...
of course you set WRKSRC not WRKBUILD

almost entirely revert r296
more "cleanup after wbx" follows, after discussion in IRC

fix tools directory, after changing WRKDIR, repack lzma package, i hate packages without subdirectory, cleanup makefiles

fix extracting of zip files

- added 'tbz2' as extension to extract uClibc++ properly

add INSTALL_* variables for execution of install, instead of cp/mkdir

remove tar verbosity

requested by and on behalf of wbx@

switch to paxmirabilis

ok wbx@

NB: not yet totally tested, but if anything breaks I'll fix it today/tonight

* new variables WRKDIR, DISTFILES (similar to MirPorts Framework)
  default to ${PKG_BUILD_DIR} and ${DL_DIR}/${PKG_SOURCE}, respectively,
  for the package/ case (more to come)
* instead of PKG_CAT and friends use an EXTRACT_CMD similar to
  the EXTRACT_CASES variable of MirPorts, only simpler

not tested yet, will do that ASAP

ok wbx@

move tools like sed, trx, lzma, which does not belong to the toolchain (gcc,binutils,gdb,libc) to a separate directory, all stuff is compiled with the host compiler

- add hardware profiles, you can choose between different
 hardware models
- add some alsa patches
- remove default stuff

nuke DISABLE_NLS, DISABLE_LARGEFILE, replace globally
with --disable-nls and --enable-largefile, because it
doesn't make sense otherwise and/or breaks.

Requested by wbx@ in Message-ID: <20060618220406.GL6291@openbsd-geek.de>
Done using find and ed(1)

use the GNU sed built by toolchain again, but prevent it
from picking up I18N support (causes it to segfault at
least under mirbsd - GNU libregex clashes)

ok wbx@

fix ppp, use these target-specific variables instead of the host config

export kernel version and arch for target

this is not linux, er kansas, any more

oops, tired eyes

save the old $PATH as _PATH in 'make prereq',
so that it can be picked up later
please re-run 'make prereq' after this commit

hint: /usr/mpkg/bin/bash wasn't in the path

ok wbx@

obviously, perl isn't compatible either. well, what did
you expect of trying to throw an espie?

on systems without sed --in-place in --help, use a shell
script which emulates that behaviour. (requires /usr/bin/sed)

use explicit path to tar

requested by wbx@

Our host sed(1) apparently is not enough. Some day, I will
butcher the person who added -i ("in-place edit") to GNU
sed - ed(1) is the tool to do THAT!

Use 'perl -pi' instead of 'sed -i' on BSD *sigh* hoping the
syntax is loosely compatible.

Do not use the GNU sed just built at all on BSD.
We believe our host sed(1) is good enough; the
GNU one has "issues" at least on MirBSD...

GNU sed build will be made dependent on this later.

agreed wbx@

we need to use uid 0, not root, because bsd has a wheel group
with gid 0, not a root group.

for now (as we require GNU tar), quell the tar ./. pax distinguishion

agreed wbx@

remove obsolete bash comments

* instead of using a $(VARS_TO_PASS) write the variables into a
  *.mk include file, so that people can cd to some package direc-
  tory and invoke gmake directly
* fake OpenBSD as uname for MirBSD, so that we get a little further
  in the build process there (stops at linux requiring bash now)

Tested with a full build (standard config) on Linux.
Invoking gmake in a subdirectory *not* tested, but
that didn't work before at all, so it's not a problem.

add ${SET_DASHX}, expands to 'set -x' if V>=50,
'true' otherwise, for use in tracing down hard
to find buglets in the build system

remove redundant line,
$(HOSTCC) is already set by Makefile

use pax to extract if it exists, instead of tar,
because it handles certain archives created by
GNU tar better (on BSD), no change on Linux

ok wbx@

Initial cut at supporting FreeWRT builds under other operating
systems (MirOS BSD, OpenBSD, probably the other BSDs as well;
Mac OSX and Cygwin to come)

The basic idea is:
* the old GNU make "Makefile" is renamed to "build.mk"
* a wrapper Makefile which uses neither GNU nor BSD make
  features calls GNU make with -f build.mk
* the wrapper Makefile also checks for prerequisite
  tools (as of now: existence of gmake and md5sum)
  and their versions (not yet, but that's why it's
  being used on GNU/Linux as well)
* scripts/md5sum.bsd uses BSD cksum(1) to generate
  GNU md5sum compatible output (only when the arguments
  are files; no options are supported)
* GNU make is symlinked into ./lbin/; md5sum.bsd is
  copied there if needed; ./lbin/ is prepended to
  $PATH for gmake -f build.mk invocations
* make distclean removes prerequisites (and lbin)

remove sstrip, it does not gain so much and complicates portability and debugging, make gcc 3.4.4 default

add OpenWrt trunk revision 3830.
