[Buildroot] Excluding certain architectures for a package

[Buildroot] Excluding certain architectures for a package

[Danilo Bargen]

Hi all

The package below does not currently build on MIPS because one of crypto libraries it depends on doesn't yet fully support that architecture: https://github.com/briansmith/ring/issues/562

Is there a way to exclude certain architectures for a package? What is the process for this?

Cheers,
Danilo

Hello,

Autobuilder failures
====================

Below is a list of build failures reported by the Buildroot autobuilders
in relation to packages or CPU architectures you are in charge of.
Please help us improving the quality of Buildroot by investigating those
build failures and sending patches to fix them.

Results for the 'master' branch

Build failures related to your packages:

    arch     |             reason             |                                       url

You can add a dependency on architectures like any other dependency; see
the manual:
    https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#dependencies-target-toolchain-options

Quoting:

    * Target architecture
      - Dependency symbol: BR2_powerpc, BR2_mips, … (see arch/Config.in)
      - Comment string: no comment to be added 

For example, to exclude all of mips and mips64:

    # Crypto opt not available for mips:
    depends on !(BR2_mips || BR2_mipsel || BR2_mips64 || BR2_mips64el)

Adapt appropriately, of course.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Hello Yann

Thanks for your reply, that helped. I submitted a patch that excludes unsupported architectures:

Best regards,
Danilo
