[Buildroot] 2012.08-rc3 skipping python modules during build

[Eric Seifert]

Hello, I have been using the stable 2012.05 build without issue and wanted
to try the latest rc3. I have a few extra python modules I have added to
the external python modules section. It seems in the latest rc3 is not
building them or even downloading the packages even though they are
selected in the menuconfig, they are just ignored. It works in the stable
2012.05 build. When I select one of the existing external modules such as
pthon-serial, it does get built.


Thanks,
Eric Seifert

  The package infrastructure has changed.  If you added a package ending with
$(eval $(call GENTARGETS))
it will be ignored.  Replace it with
$(eval $(call package-generic))

  (Note: this is just guesswork based on the limited information you gave.)

You aren't giving enough details to provide a final answer, but my
guess is that you should replace:

$(eval $(call GENTARGETS))

by

$(eval $(generic-package))

at the end of your Python external modules .mk files.

And also, you should submit those .mk files upstream if they correspond
to publicly available Python modules.

Best regards,

Thomas

  Maybe we should temporarily add something like

GENTARGETS = $$(error The GENTARGETS macro no longer exists; use $$$$(eval $$$$(generic-package)) or $$$$(eval 
$$$$(generic-host-package)))

[Buildroot] [PATCH] pkg-infra: warn about use of deprecated GENTARGETS

[Arnout Vandecappelle]

With the replacement of GENTARGETS by package-generic, there is a risk
that local packages don't work anymore without any indication of what
is wrong.  Therefore, generate an error message if the GENTARGETS,
AUTOTARGETS or CMAKETARGETS macro is still used.

  Note: this is for master, perhaps it can be left out of next.

  Note2: I only tested it with AUTOTARGETS.

Care to send a patch for this (and the AUTOTARGETS, CMAKETARGETS as
well) ?

Thanks!

Thanks Guys, that's the issue. I appreciate everyone's responsiveness! I
will submit the python module packages when I have worked out some issues
with them.

Thanks,
