2017-02-28Require xz to be presentAlexey Neyman1-8/+1
Some software starts to adopt xz-only distribution (strace, gcc-linaro, ...). Better that than deal with cryptic errors like "cannot find strace-.tar.bz2". Signed-off-by: Alexey Neyman <stilor@att.net>
2017-02-27Sed version may be reported differentlyAlexey Neyman1-1/+1
Either "GNU sed, version" or "gsed (GNU sed)". Signed-off-by: Alexey Neyman <stilor@att.net>
2017-02-27Require GNU sedAlexey Neyman1-19/+13
After much struggling with macos (BSD) sed and even getting everything work in crosstool-ng itself, I had to abandon that because some components rely on GNU syntax. Specifically, GNU libc uses '/.../{H;g}' (note absense of the separator after 'g'). So, revert the -r/-E detection and check for sed's being of GNU origin. MacOS people, sorry, but you'd have to install GNU sed. Signed-off-by: Alexey Neyman <stilor@att.net>
2017-02-27Revert "Determine whether -E/-r option selects extended regexp"Alexey Neyman1-21/+9
This reverts commit 7bcf18bfab84374d3305c7a088f95ac1219ddf93.
2017-02-14Determine whether -E/-r option selects extended regexpAlexey Neyman1-9/+21
... and then use the right option. See the note in scripts/functions on where we should use ${foo} and where just 'foo'; this boils down to whether we can expect the build tools override to be in effect (e.g. in the actual build scripts) or not (i.e. outside of scripts/build). While running in scripts/functions, or in scripts/crosstool-NG.sh the build tools override directory (.build/tools/bin) may have not been set up (yet, or at all). Also, modify the installed scripts (populate, xldd) accordingly. Signed-off-by: Alexey Neyman <stilor@att.net>

2017-01-30Bump autoconf requirement to 2.65Alexey Neyman1-2/+2
Required by automake 1.15. Signed-off-by: Alexey Neyman <stilor@att.net>
2017-01-28Rework configure logic wrt GNU autotoolsAlexey Neyman1-161/+157
Rather than requiring them of a certain version, detect if they are present (and have sufficient version) and select an appropriate companion tool otherwise. The reason is that, for example, most recent gettext requires automake 1.15, but the newest available CentOS has 1.13. Hence, the option to "upgrade your system" does not apply, and the warning comment above the companion tools is rather scary. With this approach, it will work out of the box - either by using the host's tools, or by building them as needed. Note that the user can still change the setting in the config. While there, propagate the new version checking macro to awk/bash/host binutils, and switch from --with-foo=xxx to officially blessed FOO=xxx: the latter does not require checking for bogus values (i.e., --with-foo, --without-foo) and AC_PROG_* macros recognize the corresponding settings without further modifications. For now, I kept --with-foo=, if only to complain and steer people to the new way. To be cleaned up after a release. Signed-off-by: Alexey Neyman <stilor@att.net>

Loosely based on: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/c9f7b4d356a453a01aa77a6bb74ca7ef49732c08 Signed-off-by: Alexey Neyman <stilor@att.net>
2016-11-22Give companion tools some love.Alexey Neyman1-6/+8
Allow selection of make/m4/... version. Support imports of new versions via addToolVersion.sh. Import newest versions of the companion tools. One non-trivial change is the handling of make versions. Existing code was not handling make companion tool as described (see the previous commit). However, since most modern systems have make 4.x, that previous commit made crosstool-ng always build make as a companion tool. This traces back to the commit dd15c93 from 2014. That commit's log message says that actually it was 3.81 which broke the build for certain component (it was originally breaking eglibc, but I noticed it was breaking current glibc on powerpc64), and introduced an option to force using 3.81 by "components that really need it". It looks like in 2.5 years we haven't seen any such components that really need make 3.81, and (given that make has already had a few releases since 3.81) we're unlikely to see them in the future. Hence, the configure check is changed from "exactly 3.81" to "3.81 or newer". In its current form, configure will accept make 3.80+, and will not require make as a companion tool for 3.81+. We might want to bump the latter check to even newer version given the claim from dd15c93. Killed COMP_TOOLS_make_3_81_NEEDED. Anyway, I retained 3.81 just in case; ditto for m4 1.14.3, autoconf 2.65 and automake 1.11.1. Signed-off-by: Alexey Neyman <stilor@att.net>
2016-03-03configure: Don't write a.out on static compiler checkBryan Hundven1-1/+1
Because I don't pass `-o` to gcc, it makes an a.out file with gcc. For clang it doesn't make the a.out, as that is not the default. It doesn't hurt to output to /dev/null for both. Signed-off-by: Bryan Hundven <bryanhundven@gmail.com>
2016-02-26configure: Check to see if gcc can static linkBryan Hundven1-0/+13
This is a semi-nasty-hack to see if gcc can static link. Obviously on Mac OS X this is not possible, so we set CT_CONFIGURE_has_static_link=y if it can. Signed-off-by: Bryan Hundven <bryanhundven@gmail.com>
2015-11-15configure: Correctly search for tinfo for kconfigBryan Hundven1-9/+3
I previously thought that tinfo could only be a link to libncurses in modern ncurses installations. I was wrong. Now we check for ncurses, then check for tinfo. If tinfo is a link to ncurses, it is then not required to link against. But if libtinfo is providing tgetent, and not libncurses, then we must add it to LIBS as well. Also, kconfig shouldn't hardcode -lncurses, it should use what is in $(LIBS). Signed-off-by: Bryan Hundven <bryanhundven@gmail.com>
2015-11-15configure: fix search for gpatch for FreeBSDBryan Hundven1-1/+1
We require GNU/patch, and when we install patch with `pkg`, crosstool-ng still only finds the BSD/patch in /usr/bin/patch. This commit fixes that and searches for gpatch first. Signed-off-by: Bryan Hundven <bryanhundven@gmail.com>
2015-11-14configure: Check for libtinfo.soBryan Hundven1-0/+9
While usually distributed with ncurses, some distributions distribute this library separately. Check to make sure it is installed. This closes #241 Signed-off-by: Bryan Hundven <bryanhundven@gmail.com>
2015-11-13file modes: Set files to be non-executableBryan Hundven1-0/+0
I was going to start doing some autoconf work, and noticed that configure.in was executable. Then I noticed Makefile.in was executable. o.O So, I ran ```find . -type f -executable``` and found a bunch of files that shouldn't be set executable. This commit makes them normal files again.

2015-06-18autoconf: Update sub directory nameJean-Marie Lemetayer1-2/+2
Due to patch 0e45cdf, the VERSION string has changed. And so, the the sub directory names has changed too: From 'ct-ng.1.21.0' to 'ct-ng.crosstool-ng-1.21.0-xx-yyyyyyy' This patch rename the sub directory to: 'crosstool-ng-1.21.0-xx-yyyyyyy' Signed-off-by: Jean-Marie Lemetayer <jeanmarie.lemetayer@gmail.com>
2015-06-03autoconf: Update version numberingBryan Hundven1-1/+4
This change removes the static .version file, and moves to using the git tag as the version number, the change number if the current commit is newer then the latest tag, and '-dirty' if there are changes to the git repository since the last commit that are uncommitted. This helps us in the troubleshooting process to identify if the user is: * using a released version (i.e.: 1.21.0) * using a clone from git (i.e.: 1.21.0-29-13e14f) * using a clone from git with local uncommitted changes (i.e.: 1.21.0-29-13e14f-dirty) Signed-off-by: Bryan Hundven <bryanhundven@gmail.com> Acked-by: "Yann E.

2014-05-05configure: prefer g-variantsYann E. MORIN"1-2/+2
For awk and make, we currently check the standard names as found on a classic GNU-userland system, and then fallback to looking for the g-named variants as found on a *BSD system. But it happens that the usual name might also be available on a *BSD system, so we should first check the g-variant. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

2013-09-14configure: Add --with-gperf optionRay Donnelly1-1/+5

2012-01-14kconfig: install compiled frontendsYann E. MORIN"1-2/+18
The kconfig frontends are currently instaleld as source files. This is a remnant of the early times, when I wanted a single installation of crosstool-NG to be shared across multiple machines, potentially of different architectures. This does not really make sense, and it's been a long time since it was las tpossible in practice. So, just build the kconfig frontends at make-time, and install them as we do for all other crosstool-NG dependent files. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr>
