[Buildroot] problems and solutions for tinyx

[Buildroot] problems and solutions for tinyx

[Biucchi Gabriele]

I want only to point out some problems I had with tinyx and the 
solutions that work with me: I hope, this can help somebody.

1) change in tinyx-config.patch

tinyx-config.patch starts with:

--- xc/config/cf/host.def~ 2005-04-02 14:51:31.000000000 -0700
+++ xc/config/cf/host.def 2005-04-26 01:22:00.000000000 -0600

but I think it should be:

--- xc-011010/config/cf/host.def~ 2005-04-02 14:51:31.000000000 -0700
+++ xc-011010/config/cf/host.def 2005-04-26 01:22:00.000000000 -0600

2) change in tinyx.mk

Some programs (like rxvt) need x-includes and x-libraries in 
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/X11R6/ , but tinyx.mk does not install anything there.

A naif solution consists to copy everything from $(TINYX_DIR)/exports/ 
into $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/X11R6/, substituting the line

tinyx: zlib $(TINYX_LIBX)/libX11.so.6.2 $(TINYX_BINX)/Xfbdev

with the following lines (please note the "-L" option used with cp):

$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2: $(TINYX_LIBX)/libX11.so.6.2
    mkdir -p $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/X11R6/lib
    mkdir -p $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/X11R6/include
    cp -fRL $(TINYX_DIR)/exports/include/* $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/X11R6/include/
    cp -fRL $(TINYX_DIR)/exports/lib/* $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/X11R6/lib/

tinyx: zlib $(TINYX_LIBX)/libX11.so.6.2 $(TINYX_BINX)/Xfbdev 
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2

3) another change in tinyx.mk

The $PATH variable includes "/usr/bin/X11", but there is nothing there. 
A solution is to create a symbolic link between "/usr/bin/X11" and 
"/usr/X11R6/bin", putting in the tinyx.mk the line

ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin/X11


Best regards,
Gabriele

[Buildroot] where to put patches for packages?

[Marc Lindahl]

Hi,
I'm a relative newbie to buildroot... I'm trying to figure out where to 
put  (non-kernel) patches to packages (e.g. pcmcia-cs)... can someone 
point it out to me?
Thx,
M

Packages have all their associated stuff in the
	package/packagename/
directory.  So for example pcmcia-cs lives under
	package/pcmcia/
and anything matching buildroot/package/pcmcia/pcmcia\*.patch
will be applied when building pcmcia-cs.

Patches are applied using 'patch -p1' so regardless of what the
leading path is, it should be getting stripped.  Are you actually
seeing a problem with this patch being applied?

This certainly seems to be Right Thing to do here.

That seems best.  Any chance you could make these changes and
submit a patch implementing them.

Thanks.... so I assume that you can control the order as usual by 
naming the patches 001-blahblah.patch 002-blah.patch etc.?

precisely.  So if the current package/pcmcia/pcmcia.patch
patch needs to be renamed (or replaced entirely), that can
of course be done easily enough.

Here is the patch for tinyx.mk

The change for tinyx-config.patch is not needed.
