- add a framework to easily add new ones
- add gdb as a first debug facility
- add patches for gdb
After the kernel checked its installed headers, clean up the mess of .checked.* files.
Reorder scripts/crosstool.sh:
- dump the configuration early
- renice early
- get info about build system early, when setting up the environment
- when in cross or native, the host tools are those of the build system, and only in this case
- elapsed time calculations moved to scripts/functions
Remove handling of the color: it's gone once and for all.
Update tools/addToolVersion.sh:
- handle debug facilities
- commonalise some code
- remove dead tools (cygwin, tcc)
Point to my address for bug reports.
- the tarball directory is considered as a local copy, and tarballs are copied to a working area,
- the sources and build directories (CT_SRC_DIR and CT_BUILD_DIR) are now computed, and no longer an option,
- the build dir has been renamed from 'build' to 'targets'.
That should ease preparing a tarball of the resulting target.
- use ports addon even when installing headers,
- use optimisation (-O) when installing headers, to avoid unnecessary warnings (thanks Robert P. J. DAY for pointing this out!),
- lowest kernel version to use is only X.Y.Z, not X.Y.Z.T,
- a bit of preparations for NPTL (RSN I hope),
- fix fixing the linker scripts (changing the backup file is kind of useless and stupid);
Shut uClibc finish step: there really is nothing to do;
Add a patch for glibc-2.3.6 weak aliases handling on some archs (ARM and ALPHA at least);
Did not catch the make errors: fixed the pattern matching in scripts/functions;
Introduce a new log level, ALL:
- send components' build messages there,
- DEBUG log level is destined only for crosstool-NG debug messages,
- migrate sub-actions to use appropriate log levels;
Update the armeb-unknown-linux-gnu sample:
- it builds!
- uses gcc-4.0.4 and glibc-2.3.6,
- updated to latest config options set.
Although we no longer need the kernel config file, we now need to specify the kernel source directory when installing headers.
Re-order components downloading to match build order.
Fix the saveSample.sh script in case the referenced files are the same as the destination files.
- reorder most of the environment setup,
- geting, extracting and patching are now components' sub-actions,
- save the current config as a sample to be used as a pre-configured target.
Warning: the buildroot folks purposedly removed the skip-comment patch but didn't really said why. Keeping it for the sake of having it in svn just in case (removing it will be easier thant not having it at all).
