Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/gdb: handle lzma option for host-gdb
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 23:33:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824213315.3323882-1-thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com> (raw)
For target gdb, we properly enable/disable lzma support depending on
BR2_PACKAGE_XZ.
However, for host-gdb we don't do anything, which can lead the gdb
configure script to detect and use a system-provided xz library, which
is not desired.
Instead, add an explicit option BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GDB_LZMA, which when
enabled pulls in host-xz, but also when disabled ensures gdb doesn't
try to use a system-provided xz library.
