2010-08-14docs: split into multiple filesYann E. MORIN"1-1172/+0
The overview.txt file has evolved into more than just an overview. Split it into chapters, and include the misc tutorials. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr>
2010-05-22docs/overview.txt: Provide short mercurial HOWTOTitus von Boxberg1-29/+183
The usage of hg mq is imho not very well documented. Give a short intro for the most important use cases for contributions to ct-ng. yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr: Slightly rewrote the explanations for the introductory message.
2010-04-28docs: update the section about the wrapperYann E. MORIN"1-8/+20
The wrapper is no longer needed when building non-shared companion libraries. Document that.
2010-03-05kconfig: silence a warning about undefined env variableYann E. MORIN"1-2/+2
When using an environment variable to set a config entry, don'twarn if it is not defined. Update doc accordingly.
2010-03-05config: prepare for build-system backendYann E. MORIN"1-0/+16
When acting as a backend for a build-system, we should not build any application that runs on the target, that is: - no native gdb - no companion libraries - no binutils libraries - no debug tools (save for gdbserver) - ... Here, we simply prepare the (hidden) config option that will detect that we are acting as a back-end. Update doc accordingly.
2010-02-11scripts: add action to extract config from a build.log fileYann E. MORIN"1-4/+13
That got removed quite some time ago, but is really usefull to get the configuration from a build.log file of a failing build.
2010-01-23docs: do not document CT_KERNEL_ARCH, it's going away...Yann E. MORIN"1-11/+0
Since we merged the 32/64-bit archs, and we explicitly used the Linux kernel arch name, we can get rid of CT_KERNEL_ARCH.
2010-01-08documentation: Remove refs to seemingly native toolchains issueRichard Strand1-14/+0
Remove references to the seemingly native toolchains do not build issue as it seems to be fixed. Signed-off-by: Richard Strand <richard.strand@icomera.com>

2009-10-10docs: configure no longer accepts --with-contribYann E. MORIN"1-12/+4

2009-10-02libc/glibc: fix building for seemingly native toolchainsYann E. MORIN"1-0/+16
