[Buildroot] New package util-linux-ng

[Steffen Schulz]

Hi,


I was trying to fix bug2254 by adding util-linux-ng to buildroot.
And just before adding it to the bugtracker today I read that
Makefile.autotoools.in should be used.

Long story short, the attached patch has some issues:


- util-linux still wants to compile even though it was not selected and
  removed from Config.in
- with util-linux-ng.mk, the are no errors, the package is simply ignored
- with util-linux-ng.mk.old, the packet works. But the staging_dir
  misses a file <linux/a.out.h> which is included in <a.out.h>. I think
  this is a bug in some other packet?


Any comments on my fixes in #4274, #4284 and #4294?

Maybe I should have phrased that more like a question. I have a similar
problem now with a strongSwan package I need in buildroot.

I created a .mk that uses makefile.autotools.in. I select the new
packet in menuconfig and type make, but the package is simply ignored.
No errors.

If I use .mk files without Makefile.autotools.in, both packages are
correctly processed. Is there any magic thuss missing in my patch? I
also didn't find any cache files that could be responsible for this.

Using most recent svn trunks here.


Any help appreciated,
/Steffen

Make sure to run 'make oldconfig' or menuconfig so the package shows up
in .config ?

I did a menuconfig and selected the packages. And indeed .config says:

BR2_PACKAGE_strongSwan=y
BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL-LINUX-NG=y


But they are still ignored when typing 'make'. No directories in
/build_i686/ and no errors.


Most notably, when I replace the .mk files with equivalents that don't
use Makefile.autotools.in, both packages are processed. So I guess I
miss some magic in my .mk files?

Alright, that'd be it.
First, package names are supposed to be in caps and
second, i don't think '-' will do any good, use '_' instead.

What kernel headers version are you using? There used to be a bug
where linux/a.out.h wasn't exported. I reported it and dwmw fixed it
for 2.6.26:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e53d6a152793a38aa334d6f7a4850642ae45cedc

I've backported the fix to 2.6.25, so either of those should work.

Sorry, haven't looked at those yet, I'll take a look today.

That was indeed the problem. Attached is an update to the patch posted in
