2015-01-09comptools/make: Install 'gmake' symlinkBernhard Walle1-0/+5
We had following problem: We're building a toolchain with an old glibc version for compatibility with old Linux distributions (glibc 2.9). This version requires make < 4 to build. However, the configure script of glibc looks for make in the order "gnumake", "gmake" and "make". So when "gmake" is available in the system (which is the case on Gentoo Linux per default, unfortunately), then configure finds the system gmake 4.1 instead of the ct-ng make 3.82. This patch adds an option to install a symlink so that 'gmake' is also available in the old version when building toolchains. Signed-off-by: Bernhard Walle <bernhard@bwalle.de>
2014-03-11comptools: do not force build of make-3.81 unless really neededYann E. MORIN"1-1/+5
On systems with make-3.82, we forcibly force the build and the use of make-3.81 But some newer tools break when building with make-3.81. For example, eglibc-3.18 breaks. Introduce a new blind options that tools may select if they require make-3.81. If the system does not have make-3.81, and this option is selected, then we force the build of make-3.81. Otherwise, we leave it to the user to decide on his own. Note that no component selects this option for now. It will come in later patches as we find them. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

2011-01-28comptools: add make-3.81Yann E. MORIN"1-0/+5
Since the advent of make-3.82, some packages now break due to changes in make-3.82, being stricter than 3.81 when interpreting the Makefiles. This has bugged us a bit too much so far, and I believe fixing all of them is a long road, while simply building make-3.81 is the easiest route for now. Of course, in the long term, packages will get fixed upstream, and we should back-port the fixes to old versions, and get rid of building make-3.81. In the meantime... Reported several times on the mailing list. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr>
