No longer used by anything (it appears some old kernel drivers that
are not included in the build might use it, but I don't know why
they need it -- we already ship GPL'd code [libntfs] for the kernel
in the default build unconditionally.)
Briefly discussed with js a few weeks back.
* Eventually BoardSetups and target boards will go away.
* Include all known fdt's in the mmc image
* This gets us closer to target board-less arm
* Changing hardware is as simple as plugging a new fdt
into u-boot's startup script.
* Drop my original rpi1 work. We're targetting ARMv7
minimum.
* beaglebone vs beagleboard
* While the boards are almost the same, they have
diff. FDT's now (more memory, different layout etc)
* Make u-boot script more rpi-like
(depend on u-boot for initial addresses)
* Wasn't working, still doesn't.
from a stock GDB source tree.
I was getting tired of doing it manually.
Note the prefix is not exactly the same as the buildtools since the
machine triplet is different, but it's not an issue.
Tested with arm and ppc with GDB 7.8. Might need patching gdbTarget for other archs,
as stock GDB doesn't know about Haiku.
This was added in hrev47174 but isn't needed. (confirmed with jessicah)
the -e flag was causing the script to exit when it encountered an error
instead of allowing us to print an error message and exit ourselves.
I accidentially tried to compile Haiku on a case-insensitive FS and
tripped over this.
The configure script should print an error message if you try to configure
on a case-insensitive FS once again.
* The Raspberry pi 2 uses a new SoC which differs slightly
from the Raspberry Pi 1.
* Someday these two board targets could go away when we get
FDT support.
The BSD grep doesn't know about \s. Moreover, checking for elf (rather
than ELF) seems to make more sense, as that's the format name, not part
of the description.
Patch suggested by geist. Thanks!
* From now on, the gcc-specific system libraries (libgcc, libsupc++ and
libstdc++) are provided by separate packages built along with gcc:
- gcc_syslibs contains the shared libraries (libgcc_s.so, libsupc++.so and
libstdc++.so)
- gcc_syslibs_devel contains the static libraries and both c++ and gcc
headers
The shared libraries now make proper use of symbol versioning and there
are version-specific symlinks
* The buildsystem has been adjusted to no longer use the libraries and
headers from the cross-compiler, but use the ones provided by the
above-mentioned packages. The only exception is that the 32-bit libraries
required for the bootloader of the x86_64 architecture are still taken
from the cross-compiler.
* Drop unused variables from build system that refer to the system
libraries.
* Drop unused lists of libgcc objects.
* Drop no longer used variables from configuration script.
* Remove no longer needed building of kernel-libgcc and -libsupc++ from
build_cross_tools_gcc4, only the boot-specific (32-bit) libs are
built for a x86_64 target.
* Explicitly disable threads and TLS support when building the cross
compiler, as the only libraries that are used by Haiku's build system
is the 32-bit libgcc and libsupc++ for the bootloader on x86_64 (and
for that neither is wanted).
* If --no-downloads has been given, Haiku will be built without
trying to download anything, all required packages need to be put
into the download folder manually (the build will stop on missing
packages).
* As the required HaikuPorts repository can't be downloaded in this
mode, a local repository is created during the build, which only
contains the packages available in the downloads folder.
This is useful for building Haiku completely from source.
* Since this affects generated objects and needs a clean build anyway,
it is better set and fixed at configure time.
* It could also be used when building the cross compiler to set
appropriate options.
* As per the ML discussions. Bumps MIPS to tier 3.
* We've reached a unanimous descision that MIPS doesn't
target any real / valid hardware Haiku wants to pursue
at the moment. In the event that anyone wants to pursue
MIPS, feel free to fork Haiku into your own repository
(and we'll even link to it on the website ports page)
* If someone develops a viable plan for MIPS (and gets the
port working, it can be readded at a later date)
