Subject: [Buildroot] MacOSX-10.4.10 buildroot works, one final issue
Message-ID: <37c712e0707060725o455c1d8ay8903ff378459e057@mail.gmail.com>

with the 5 changes I mentioned in the "please check my patch as a
resolver for bug 1415" thread, and one other change, I'm able to
successfully do a relatively simple buildroot (defaults configured) on
MacOSX-10.4.10 (intel), have not been able to check on PPC 10.4.10.

The one remaining issue:  can anyone tell me why rmdir is used below?

target/ext2/ext2root.mk rev 19006 (18834) @91:
$(EXT2_BASE): host-fakeroot makedevs genext2fs
        - at find $(TARGET_DIR) -type f -perm +111 | xargs $(STRIP)
2>/dev/null || true;
        @rm -rf $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/man
        @rm -rf $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share/man
        @rm -rf $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/info
        @rmdir -p --ignore-fail-on-non-empty $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share
        -/sbin/ldconfig -r $(TARGET_DIR) 2>/dev/null

This seems to be just trying to remove usr/share if it's empty or only
has empty directories to reduce unnecessary dirs on the system.

Is it safe to do this?
        - at rmdir -p --ignore-fail-on-non-empty $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share

BSD variants don't accept "--ignore-fail-on-non-empty" as a parameter :o(

I appreciate your advice, if anyone knows...
