[Buildroot] problem with dbus.mk

[John Voltz]

Hi,

I discovered a bit of a problem in dbus.mk.

*DBUS_XML_DEP:=**$(BUILD_DIR)/**libxml2**-2.6.29/.stamp_staging_installed


*

What happens when libxml2 has not been downloaded, extracted, or built and
you depend on .stamp_staging_installed?

Build failure. I would suggest a revert on dbus.mk.


Regards,

John

Normally it would work just fine (we do this all the time), but
looking closer at it, the Makefile.autotools.in stuff is horribly
broken as it doesn't have proper dependencies listed.

It also looks like it would break badly for parallel builds (-j)

:/

I'll revert the libxml2 hunk. We really need to fixup the autotools
stuff or stop using it.
