Patch to make sure that staging_dir/usr/bin exists before copying mkimage

When compiling buildroot using an external toolchain, the mkimage tool from
u-boot, cannot be installed into the staging area. This happens, as
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin has not been created.

Attached is a patch that creates $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin if necessary.

Regards,
Anders Darander

I'm just bumping this issue, as I've not heard anything.

Unless there are any feedback, I hope that the patch could be applied.
Or should the problem be solved in some other way?

Recap: The problem is that $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin, does not exist when
u-boot tries to install the mkimage binary. Thus, the installation
will fail. This occurs when using an external toolchain.

Anders

Hi Anders,

Good idea. Even if the bug is registered in our bug tracker, it's
always good to push patches when we don't include them quickly.

I think the patch is ok to solve the immediate problem. But since
mkimage is a host tool, I would rather prefer changing the u-boot
Makefile.in to install mkimage to $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin.

Cheers,

Thomas

True. I'll fix that now.

Ok.

I was on my way to create a patch, but then I'll let you fix it.
