This change adds support for experimental patches to be introduced to
crosstool-ng. The patches enabled by this option are to be located here:
patches/experimental/<package>/<version>/XXXX-NAME.patch
Where, XXXX is the patch number to be applied in order, like:
0001-some_patch_one.patch
0002-some_patch_two.patch
9999-some_patch_to_be_applied_last.patch
In the first patch series, all patches in the EXPERIMENTAL_PATCHES
option will be applied all at once, or none at all.
In a later [RFC] patch, I plan on adding finer tuned patch
enable/disable options based on the name of the patch and where it is
located in the patches/experimental sub-tree. So the name of the patch
should use underscores between words in the patch name.

# Options specific to crosstool-NG overall behavior

config OBSOLETE

bool

prompt "Use obsolete features"
|
|
help
|
|
If you set this to Y, you will be able to select obsolete features.
|
|
|
|
Such obsolete features are the use of old kernel headers, old gcc
|
|
versions, etc... for which maintaining support in crosstool-NG
|
|
would be very costly.
|
|
|
|
It does not however mean that the specific feature or version has been
|
|
marked obsolete by the upstream team.

prompt "Try features marked as EXPERIMENTAL"
|

help
|
|
If you set this to Y, then you will be able to try very experimental
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
Experimental features can be one of:
|
|
- working, in which case you should tell me it is!
|
|
- buggy, in which case you could try patching and send me the result
|
|
- unfinished, in which case you could try hacking it and send me the result
|
|
- non-existant, in which case you could also try hacking it in and send me
|
|
the result

You normally do *not* need to be root to build a toolchain using
|
|
crosstool-NG. In fact, it is *VERY* dangerous to run as root, as
|
|
crosstool-NG will, as part of the build process, remove a few
|
|
directories. If anything goes wrong, running as root can ruin
|
|
your host distribution.
|
|
|
|
I can't stress it enough: DO NOT RUN AS ROOT !!
|
|
|
|
Do not run as root, you've been warned.
|
|
Do not come whining, if it nukes your host system.
|
|
Do not come whining, if you lose any data.
|
|
Do not run as root.
|
|
|
|
Do not run as root, you've been warned.
|
|
Do not come whining, if the Earth stops rotating.
|
|
Do not come whining, if kittens are smashed.
|
|
Do not run as root.
|
|
|
|
Do not run as root, do not run as root!

Say 'y' if you intend to attend the build, and want to investigate

If you say 'y' here, then you will be able to restart crosstool-NG at

any step.

It is not currently possible to restart at any of the debug facilities.

help
|
|
If you are tight on space, then you can ask to gzip the saved states
|
|
tarballs. On the other hand, this takes some longer time...
|
|
|
|
To lose as less time as possible, the gzip process is done with a low
|
|
compression ratio (-3), which gives roughly 70% gain in size. Going
|
|
further doesn't gain much, and takes far more time (believe me, I've
|
|
got figures here! :-) ).

prompt "Do *not* overide LC_MESSAGES (EXPERIMENTAL)"

|
|
help
|
|
By default, crosstool-NG sets and exports LC_ALL=C so that the
|
|
build.log file contains english messages, that can be read by
|
|
people most likely to help interpret the logs. If you say N here,
|
|
and your locale is not an english language, then dissecting your
|
|
log file will be difficult for most people but you.
|
|
|
|
If you say Y here, then your current locale settings will be used
|
|
to print messages, instead of plain english.
|
|
|
|
Say N, please.
|
|
|
|
config DEBUG_INTERACTIVE
|
|
bool
|
|
prompt "Interactive shell on failed commands"
|
|
help
|
|
If you say 'y' here, then an interactive shell will be spawned for
|
|
each failed command.
|
|
|
|
This shell will have the same environment that the failed command
|
|
was run with, and the working directory will be set to the directory
|
|
the failed command was run in.
|
|
|
|
After you fix the issue, you can exit the interactive shell with any
|
|
of these exit codes:
|
|
1 the issue was fixed, continue the build with the next command
|
|
2 the issue was fixed, re-run the failed command
|
|
3 abort the build
|
|
|
|
Note: '2' is only possible for commands run via CT_DoExecLog, though.
