From e0e089acc491b0f2f97dccaa1c3f6a191873a3b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN" Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2018 18:06:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] core/pkg-kconfig: allow dependencies before configurators MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Some users of kconfig need some packages to be built before their kconfig infra be used. For example, the linux kernel, starting with 4.16, needs flex and bison to generate the parser code. Furthermore, starting with 4.18, it will also need the cross-compiler before parsing the kconfig stuff, because that calls the compiler to check its features. Currently, this is broken, even the flex/bison ones, even though they are listed, because there is no way to define dependencie that are guaranteed before the (visual) configurators. For example: $ make distclean $ make menuconfig --> enable the linux kernel, choose a defconfig, save, exit $ make linux-menuconfig [...] HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o YACC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c /bin/sh: bison: command not found LEX scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c scripts/Makefile.lib:196: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c' failed make[3]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c] Error 127 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... /bin/sh: flex: command not found scripts/Makefile.lib:188: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c' failed make[3]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c] Error 127 Makefile:528: recipe for target 'rpc_defconfig' failed make[2]: *** [rpc_defconfig] Error 2 linux/linux.mk:511: recipe for target '/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot/output/build/linux-4.17.11/.config' failed make[1]: *** [/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot/output/build/linux-4.17.11/.config] Error 2 Makefile:79: recipe for target '_all' failed make: *** [_all] Error 2 So, we introduce a new type of dependencies for kconfig-based packages, that are guaranteed to be built and installed before the (visual) configurators are called. Since those dependencies are phony targets and therefore always out of date, a normal dependency would cause the .config target to be rebuilt on each invocation of make. So we use an order-only pre-requisite, like is done for the patch dependency. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
