[Buildroot] Config defined package version is always built

[Buildroot] Config defined package version is always built

[Alvaro Gamez]

Hi!

I'm writing a custom package whose version I want to define via menuconfig.
Thus, I include in Config.in a string config option called
BR2_PACKAGE_MYPKG_VERSION, and inside mypkg.mk I set MYPKG_VERSION =
$(BR2_PACKAGE_MYPKG_VERSION)

This works fine, I can set any version I want via menuconfig and buildroot
will download and install that version from a git repository.

However, whenever I type make, this package will be built again, even if it
has just been built and no change have been made.

Is there anyway to avoid this?

Thanks!

Use:

MYPKG_VERSION = $(call qstrip,$(BR2_PACKAGE_MYPKG_VERSION))

to remove the double quotes around the string. This might help in
solving your problem.

Nothing different happened this time, it built the package again.

Weird. Can you create a minimal test case and send us the .mk file so
that we can reproduce?

Thanks,

Oh, sorry, it did work! I mistook one package with another,
but I've just tried again and that small change does indeed solve this
issue for me.

Thanks a lot!
