- Enable installing binutils from the base system.
- Import texinfo which is required for the binutils tools
to be compiled.
- Also adapted the fetch rules to correctly generate the
gitignore files for gcc, and allow the case of multiple
modules in the same directory, as found in gnu/dist.
Warning: This patch has an entry in docs/UPDATING
Change-Id: Ib781734e8fd7f9c6265fa65d62ba2cf3fccbc5ba
- Do not run the fetch.sh script every time
- Do not run the configure script with MKUPDATE=yes (build.sh -u)
- The fetched GNU source are hidden from `git status`
- With CLEANFETCHED=yes, `nbmake -C tools cleandir` will remove the
fetched GNU source and return the MINIX tree to its pristine state.
- Avoid (harmless) message when building in parallel, about find
running against an inexistant path
Notice that the GNU tools are "installed" on every run, even with
MKUPDATE=yes; this is a feature of the NetBSD build system, because
in case of changes in dependencies it is impossible to know them.
See commit 1.27 2004-06-12 of tools/Makefile.gnuhost in NetBSD's src/
The downloaded tarballs are not removed with CLEANFETCHED:
they are supposed to be unmodified, and the exact name is not known
to the Makefile's, since it is engraved in each fetch.sh script (and
we do not want to have the same information in several places.)
upgrade to NetBSD CVS release from 2012/10/17 12:00:00 UTC
Makefiles updates to imporve portability
Made sure to be consistent in the usage of braces/parenthesis at
least on a per file basis. For variables, it is recommended to
continue to use braces.
The tested targets are the followgin ones:
* tools
* distribution
* sets
* release
The remaining NetBSD targets have not been disabled nor tested
*at all*. Try them at your own risk, they may reboot the earth.
For all compliant Makefiles, objects and generated files are put in
MAKEOBJDIR, which means you can now keep objects between two branch
switching. Same for DESTDIR, please refer to build.sh options.
Regarding new or modifications of Makefiles a few things:
* Read share/mk/bsd.README
* If you add a subdirectory, add a Makefile in it, and have it called
by the parent through the SUBDIR variable.
* Do not add arbitrary inclusion which crosses to another branch of
the hierarchy; If you can't do without it, put a comment on why.
If possible, do not use inclusion at all.
* Use as much as possible the infrastructure, it is here to make
life easier, do not fight it.
Sets and package are now used to track files.
We have one set called "minix", composed of one package called "minix-sys"
This decreases external dependencies for crosscompilation. Note that
these libraries are not built nor used by Minix itself.
Furthermore, the shell scripts that download the tarballs for these
libraries, gcc, binutils, and gmake now also support curl in addition
to wget.
This commit finalizes support for cross compilation. The tools
directory are all links to the actual tools and are built on the
host system to build Minix. build.sh is the work horse that takes
care of all environment settings. It's slightly adjusted for Minix.
The /usr/src/Makefile has additional targets needed for cross
compilation.
