It was needed on macOS for a time when BUrl used regexes for parsing.
Now it does not, and so we can remove libshared's RegExp from build
libshared, and thus also libgnuregex.
I wrote this back in 2010 as my first driver project.
Reasons to remove it:
* The license is GPL
* Current WiMAX hardware is generally WIFI based.
* It controlled the hardware, but never worked
for network access since we need SSL certs and stuff
which vendors weren't too open with.
* WiMAX kind of died (at least in the US)
I left the wwan directory, it would be a nice spot
for CDMA / GSM dongle drivers.
Previously we just used the system libroot, which of course meant
that when libroot's ABI changed, the build broke. Now we use the full
libroot_build that we do on non-Haiku platforms. The logic for "BeOS-compatible
but not Haiku" does not really apply anymore, so it has been gutted where
appropriate (and libhaikucompat has been decoupled from the build.)
The only caveat here is the change to Errors.h -- we really should be using
the system's one where I included the one from the tree, but for whatever
reason, GCC2 refused to handle the #include_next properly.
Fixes the build breakage of Haiku-on-Haiku by my prior commits (sorry).
Instead build the one in-tree from src/data/package_infos/. Fixes the
"HaikuPorts repos have wrong URL" problem that has occured since the
switch to buildmaster repos.
When compiling with GCC, these headers get pulled in from the
gcc_syslibs_devel package, but we cannot do something similar
for Clang as Clang adds/removes internal builtins used by
the headers nearly every version. So instead we just copy
all the intrinsics headers from current Clang into generated,
and make sure this directory is included before any others.
* Actually locate the clang executable, and allow user overrides
* Properly preserve arguments in get_build_tool_path
* Fix get_build_tool_path for commands with dashes (e.g. "clang-5.0")
* Update repository file to hardlink_packages modified one.
* Add some basic process overview to directory.
* We don't normally document in paths, but this stuff is complex.
* Documentation improvements welcome.
* Hashing semantics for the new build repositories are different than
the old ones, so update those (if the x86 build was not broken before
it is now...)
* OptionalPackages has been updated slightly (removed libtool and git_cvs
from the default images, as they are rarely used nowadays and would pull
in a bunch of dependencies we don't really care for either)
* Removed lib:libqrencode from Haiku package requires (qrencode_kdl is a
static library, the userland libqrencode is not used anywhere in the tree,
as far as I can tell)
* Fix build of JPEG2000 translator after update
* Decouple fluidsynth build machinery and remove from image now that it
is no longer used
* Update repository URL in Repositories preflet
x86 is unaffected, as already mentioned. This breaks the build,
but since this diff was large, I wanted to have the functionality
changes be clear, so they are in the next commit.
The packages that remain are only the ones used somewhere in Jam
(including ones off by default, e.g. Wonderbrush, Live555.)
The x86 repo is untouched as it is being phased out and has no buildmaster-
generated equivalent.
It was trying to use $(feature:U) outside of the loop where it is
actually set. Thanks to PulkoMandy for spotting the problem.
(How did this not break tons of stuff?)
