From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Yann E. MORIN Date: Sun, 20 May 2018 16:23:11 +0200 Subject: [Buildroot] [RFC] [PATCH v2 2/2] support/kconfig: Bump to kconfig from Linux 4.17-rc2 In-Reply-To: <20180519230311.6a3652fd@windsurf> References: <20180509164412.31596-1-petr.vorel@gmail.com> <20180509164412.31596-2-petr.vorel@gmail.com> <20180519230311.6a3652fd@windsurf> Message-ID: <20180520142311.GA3453@scaer> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Thomas, All, On 2018-05-19 23:03 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly: > If we were to drop the *shipped files, it means we would have to build > host-flex and host-bison prior to running any "make *config" command. > This would be really annoying. And would requier quite a rework of the main Makefile, since we do not include that pcakge .mk files until we do have a .coinfig file. So currently, we can't have host-{flex,bison} before we have a .config. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. > Alternatively, we could decide to make > "flex" and "bison" mandatory dependencies of Buildroot, and rely on the > user to install them on the system rather than building them ourselves. > The drawback of this is that we would no longer control which version > of flex/bison gets used. > > Best regards, > > Thomas > -- > Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Bootlin (formerly Free Electrons) > Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering > https://bootlin.com -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
