Subject: [U-Boot] RFC: "make DESTDIR=xxx install" ?
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 17:38:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A843392.4020800@atmel.com> (raw)
Many packages support installing the resulting binary in another
location, but U-Boot does not.
When you use buildsystems like buildroot and openembedded,
you want to collect the end result in a target directory,
and while you can use internal knowledge about u-boot
to do so, it seems cleaner to me, to do a "make DESTDIR install".
Since you may want to put the binaries for several
boards in the same directory (like /tftpboot)
it is not always good to call the binary simply u-boot.bin.
I guess "make DESTDIR=<destination> TARGET=<name> install" would work
Alternatively, we collect the final binary from several variables,
openembedded typically calls the end binary:
${MACHINE}-u-boot-${U_BOOT_VERSION}-${REVISION}.bin
Feedback?
