- The primary reason is that mkfs and installboot need to run natively during
the cross compilation (host and target versions are compiled). There is a
collision of include files though. E.g. a.out.h is very minix-specific.
Therefore some files we moved and replaced by stubs that include the original
file if compiling on or for Minix :
include/a.out.h -> include/minix/a.out.h
include/sys/dir.h -> include/minix/dir.h
include/dirent.h -> include/minix/dirent.h
include/sys/types.h -> include/minix/types.h
- This does not break any native compilation on Minix. Other headers that were
including the original files are changed according to include directly the
new, minix specific location not to pick up the host system includes while
cross-compiling.
- role of this patch is to make rebasing of the build branch simpler until the
new build system is merged
other, user-includable config files. It only defines names that don't
pollute the users namespace (start with _). <minix/config.h> still works
like always; it includes sys_config.h now and defines the 'messy' names
(such as CHIP) as the 'cleaner' names (such as _MINIX_CHIP).
Changed some of the other include files to use sys_config.h and the
'cleaner' names. This solves some (past and future) compilation problems.
