build: add APK package build capabilities

2024-05-17T20:21:26Z

A new option called `USE_APK` is added which generated APK packages (.apk) instead of OPKG packages (.ipk). Some features like fstools `snapshot` command are not yet ported Signed-off-by: Paul Spooren

toolchain/wrapper: fill and reference info.mk in staging_dir ext toolchain

2024-04-21T15:59:17Z

Currently when external toolchain is used, a info.mk is created (with to-be-filled values) but is never actually filled with real values and is never actually used in rules.mk. This info.mk is used down the code with special packages like libgcc to reference info like gcc version and package special library. To mimic what is done with internal toolchain, add the include in rules.mk for info.mk also for external library and in fix toolchain/wrapper to fill the staging_dir info.mk. The logic is to check if the external toolchain provide an info.mk and if it doesn't we at least fill the GCC_VERSION with the value set in the .config file. With this special library like libgcc correctly reference and have set the GCC_VERSION variable. Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi

rules.mk: make toolchain dirs define more consistent

2023-10-20T14:13:56Z

Make toolchain dirs define more consistent between internal and external toolchains. Make use of specific dirs also for intenral toolchain and generilize include and lib inclusion. Also set TOOLCHAIN_ROOT_DIR for internal toolchain as this is what packages should use to reference staging toolchain directory. Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi

prereq-build: increase GCC requirement to 8

2023-08-14T18:18:42Z

The current minimum OS requirement for OpenWrt is Ubuntu 18.04, which includes 7 and 8. 8 is necessary for ccache. gcc and g+++ are now symlinked to staging_dir, similar to Python. Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev

build: replace SSTRIP_ARGS with SSTRIP_DISCARD_TRAILING_ZEROES

2023-07-04T18:25:40Z

sstrip only has one functional arg. Make that a bool option, which can easily depend on other knobs then. This is required to be disabled for the mold linker. Signed-off-by: Andre Heider

rules: prepare to use different linkers

2023-07-04T18:25:36Z

This explicitely adds the default linker to the target LDFLAGS. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by: Andre Heider

treewide: add ORIG_PATH variable

2023-06-05T06:31:47Z

Add a variable that stores the original value of $PATH in the host system's shell, before Make alters it. This can be useful for when it is necessary to ignore symlinks and programs made by the build system. Define this new variable before all instances of 'export PATH:=' or similar.

tools: add gnulib source

2023-05-04T04:07:27Z

By having a local copy of gnulib, we can: import the latest macro fixes into any package, get rid of some statically stored macros that were otherwise missing, bootstrap GNU tools with the latest relevant source without having to wait for a release or rely on git submodules, and possibly more... The patch assists in bootstrapping by ignoring the building of po files using gettext, and also to allow a user-defined path to a program to include parameters. Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt

prereq-build: add check for true and false

2023-05-04T04:07:23Z

Some uses cases, like with autotools, need a path for 'true' if we use them to force something to skip. This will work by default on Linux hosts, and require MacOS hosts to get coreutils, which is currently installed in the CI for 'macos-latest' host. In the future, prereq stage can be reworked to search for the actual binary instead of relying on env. Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt

rules.mk: add FILECMD variable

2023-03-26T22:41:50Z

Some packages using Libtool have the possibility of using this environment variable if set, instead of the direct command for "file" using PATH, or the need to patch a hard-coded path. This is a new feature of Libtool 2.4.7 Ref: bf261073d ("tools/libtool: bump to 2.4.7") Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt
