Simplify a bit more bash detection.

Call architecture-specific functions from all scripts needing them.

When sstrip is already downloaded, link instead of copying (as for all other
components).
A little eye-candy fix.

Revert multilib handling. Even if we don't do multilib, we need to at least
say we don't, and not let gcc choose on its own (which it does wrong).

Further improve the architecture-specific framework.
Apply this framework into building of glibc and gcc.

(Whoo! 500th commit! Yeah!)

We don't support Cygwin yet, no point in having quirks in.

Another little fix in the documentation.

A little fix in the documentation.

Further expand the architecture-specific function: add CT_KERNEL_ARCH building.

Update docs/CREDITS: ARM EABI support.
Update README: point at docs/CREDITS.

Initial support for ARM EABI (courtesy Szilveszter Ordog <ordog@mail.thot-soft.com>).

Small eye-candy fix.

Migrate all supported architectures to use the architecture-specific framework.

Stop build if Makefile.in was changed.

Improve (POSIX-wise) determination of bashh version.

API is not yet defined.

Small eye candy fix.

Fix setting floating point in uClibc (thanks to Szilveszter Ordog <ordog@mail.thot-soft.com>)

Sanitise ./configure a little bit.
Add a check for bash 3.0 or above.

Don't use /bin/sh for crosstool-NG build scripts, we want /bin/bash!
Don't hardcode ncurses include and link flags.

Update credits to give adequate credit to Al Stone.

Merge from branches/ia64@476 : add ia64 preliminary support.

make-3.80 does not have $(lastword ...). Fix this when ct-ng calls itself: don't try to be smart, we just _know_ where ct-ng is at configure time!
Fis a latent bug in handling the number parallel jobs.

Use symlinks to the localy stored tarballs rather than copying them.
If saving tarballs to local storage is selected, move newly downloaded tarballs there and symlink.

In a directory previously used as CT_TOP_DIR, when using a new version, ct-ng will fail to create the symlink to the new config files.
Fix that by forcing creation of the symlink, even if it already exists and points to a previous location.

Add D.U.M.A. 2_5_8 and associated patches.
Fix a patch for D.U.M.A 2_5_1.
Add libelf 0.8.10, still does not build... :-(

ARM defaults to LE, MIPS to BE. Reflect this in the target configuration options.

Fix the glibc-2.6.1 ARM NPTL patch.

Updated the armeb-unknown-linux-gnu sample to use the ;ost recent glibc with NPTL.

Update the mips-unknown-linux-uclibc sample.

Update the armeb-unknown-linux-uclibc sample.

Update the i686-nptl-linux-gnu sample.

Bah, a really small cosmetic fix...

Print a log message when entering/leaving the two core compiler passes.

Add linux-2.6.22.6 for the kernel headers.

Unmark glibc-2.6{,.1} as being EXPERIMENTAL: they are no longer considered as such.

Bump version to .svn.

Bump version to 0.3.1.

Update CREDITS.

Trying to guess how we were called does not work. Don't try to be smart, and take the full path, even if we are in PATH.

For those architectures that support both endianness, some default to big endian, others default to little endian.
Make this possible in the target selection menu.

Apply some scosmetic changes, courtesy Al Stone <ahs3@ahs3.net>.

Add linux-2.6.22.{4,5}

Add binutils-2.18.

Fix restoring the environment.

Bump version to +svn.

Add patches against gcc-3.4.6. Untested.

Clarify licensing issues.

Add linux-2.6.22.3 for kernel headers isntall.

Remove dead linuxthreads patches.

Change "triplet" (target triplet) to "tuple". That sounds better!
Document overriding the number of // jobs.
Some small documentation fixes.

Fix printing the version string when configured with --local.

Add the possibility to force the number of // jobs without reconfiguring.

Warn when using -pipe with glibc>=2.6.

Get rid of the core cc selection. It is now the same as the final compiler.

Do a clean-up pass on the OBSOLETE features (versions):
- remove legions of those,
- remove associated patches no longer needed,
- mark then as (OBSOLETE) in the prompt;

Totally comment-out the multilib option: it's not implemented, and not really implementable with the current crosstool-NG scheme.

Don't use -pipe when building glibc>=2.6: ./configure chokes on it.
(This is because "gcc -pipe --help" doesn't print what it should print).

Fix a small typo when extracting non-compressed steps.
Have a go for a sane handlign of tar options and extensions.

Fix saving the environment. Thanks to Mark Vels <Mark.Vels@fundem.net> for pointed it out!

Add experimental binutils-2.17.50.0.18, along with patches from previous snapshot.

Add linux-2.6.22.2 for headers.

Add glibc: 2.5.1 - 2.6 - 2.6.1.
Apply the same patches as glibc 2.5: they apply without any problem (except for ridiculously small offsets).

When adding a new experimental/obsolete version, mark it as so in the prompt.

Introduce new config option: CT_TARGET_ALIAS_SED_EXPR
This option is used as a sed expression to pass onto CT_TARGET to create an alias.

Make use of setsid to spawn removal processes: we don't want the rm's to stop if the main script fails and ends before all directories were removed.

Ignore generated doc.

Have Mekfile.in be a little more verbose.

Fix Makefile.in:
- correctly generate the documentation,
- correctly remove generated documentation.

Revert previous spurious commit.

Fix the Makefile.in to correctly remove generated documentation.

A little cleanup in the glibc's pthread headers install.

Remove the correct file when cleaning.

Change svn:ignore to reflect the new generated file.

Change the way the compressed man page is built/installed.

Overwrite pre-existing compressed man page.

Install a compressed man page (as per Debian's policy).

(Yes, you guessed: I'll try to have crosstool-NG packaged in Debian)

Small typo fix.

Remove any reference to libfloat. That has gone once and for all.

Rationale:
Most of the time, soft-float problems are caused by this sucker of gcc:
it has support for soft float for all of the targets I've tried so far,
but does not activate this code until you dwelve into half a dozen of
files to make it accept to build and link the support code...

So, yes: gcc has soft-float support. And again, yes: gcc is a sucker.

Fix the step shortcuts (using a dash would confuse make).

Add gcc-4.2.1.

Bump version to +svn.

Bump version to 0.2.2.

Remove TODO, I can seem to update it and follow what's there... :-(

Add a new sample for LE ARM.

Fix uninstalling man.

Tidy up a bit the uClibc config munging.

Fix install: man page was not being installed.
Fix uninstall: dont't uninstall if using local copy, don't try to remove non-existant files.

Update tools/config.guess.

In overview.txt, document the two ways of using crosstool-NG: install and --local.
Fix some typos in overview.txt.
Document populate's options, still in overview.txt.
Credit the buildroot people for the patches I vampirise from time to time.

Mark D.U.M.A 2_5_2 and 2_5_3 as being broken: they don't even build on any of my sample toolchain... :-(

Update the samples to the latest option set.

The latest uClibc-0.9.29 patch grabbed from buildroot is buggy wrt a type (__ulong_t does not exist, while __u_long does). Fix that.

MAKEFLAGS was leaking into some components build system (dmalloc, for example). This fixes it.

Try again to fix the --local behavior.

Seems like the --no-builtin-rules and -r options to make are not the same...

Fix a typo in CREDITS.

Move CREDITS to docs/
Be a bit verbose when restoring a sample.

Re-instate the --local configure switch to not install and use the local crosstool-NG copy.

No need to expand the host cc every time.

Clean the help entry for CT_ARCH_CPU.

Fix installing a glibc header for those archs that are in ports.

Vampirise two more patches against uClibc-0.9.29 from buildroot.

Remove unused patch to uClibc-0.9.29.

Add D.U.M.A. 2.5.2 and 2.5.3.

Update the download messages for sstrip.c to the same mesages used in scripts/functions.

Re-order and rework a bit docs/overview.txt. Plus a typo fix.

Revisit the extract-config way of working: ct-ng is the sole entry point to crosstool-NG, and ct-ng.extrac-config no longer exists. You now have to call "ct-ng extractconfig </path/to/your/build.log" instead.

When isntalling aliases, send symlinks creation to CT_DEBUG log level.

Remove the symlinks to the build/host tools earlier.

Fix typo in version action.

Update the mips-unknown-linux-uclibc sample.

Update the x86_64-unknown-linux-uclibc sample.

Update and fix a patch to strace.

Bump version to 0.2.1.

Add an option to save downloaded tarballs to local tarballs directory.
Sanitise CT_GetFile.
Change some messages (Copying -> Retrieving).

Really unmark gcc-4.2.0 as being EXPERIMENTAL.

Unmark gcc-4.2.0 as being EXPERIMENTAL.

Copy softfloat fix patch from gcc-4.1.2 to gcc-4.2.0.

Rename all Makefiles used by ct-ng into (something).mk, to avoid confusion.

Fix distclean.

Sanitise populate a little bit.

Re-order help entries in populate.

Re-diff strace patches against current version.

Add patches for strace 4.5.15.

Redirect the strace build messages to the logger!

Print a message when installing populate.

Upgrade populate.in:
- systematically make paths absolute,
- somewhat beautify the help ;essage,
- explain why ../ is to be seatrched for.

DEfault log level to CT_LOG_DEBUG if CT_DEBUG_CT is set, and to CT_LOG_INFO if not.

Add a patch to gcc to expand switch-case to an if-else sequence (from buildroot).

Update config.sub.

Echo what's going on when make-ing and installing crosstool-NG. Use kernel-like simplified messages.

Mark some linux versions as obsolete.
Add missing dot relewases.

Mark binutils-2.6.17.* as being EXPERIMENTAL versions.

Document CT_OBSOLETE, CT_EXPERIMENTAL and CT_BROKEN.

Add ltrace (and libelf) utilities.
Marked as BROKEN for others to debug that if they need it.

Introduce a BROKEN option (depends on EXPERIMENTAL) to hide/see broken stuff for debugging sessions!
Re-order: OBSOLETE goes before EXPERIMENTAL.

Add a test for lynx (needed to download sstrip.c from buildroot).

Get rid of the legacy local variable got_it.
Allow to download files without extension.
Allow to specify a preffered extension when downloading a file.

Test for curl or wget only once, not at each download.

Add the TODO file.

Add strace debugging aid.

Unmark D.U.M.A. as being EXPERIMENTAL.

Use "$CT_CC}" instead of "gcc" when calling target compilers.

Add D.U.M.A., the Electric Fence successor.

Fix linking target-cc to target-gcc.

Fix a type in the debug and tools templates.

Overwrite existing symlinks when installing crosstool-NG.

Add an x86_64 sample.

Change the target-cc link from soft to hard. This way, there's no soft link in this directory.

Revamp the regtest action:
- enable one regtest per sample,
- enable regtest for either local or global samples, or both,
- document this in the help-build text.

Separate clean actions from build actions;
Re-label "Preconfigured actions" to "Preconfigured toolchains";
Small eye-candy fix in the help text for liststeps.

Be a little more verbose during regtest to say that a sample did build.

Update man page to explictly point to overview.txt.
In overview.txt, document usage of the populate script.

Add linux-2.6.22.

Bump version to +svn.

Bump version to 0.2.0.

Fix the install procedure:
- remove useless script tools/addToolVersion.sh: it is not needed when running crosstool-NG, only for developpers,
- create a symlink to the configuration extract script, so that it is in the PATH if ct-ng is.

Update the mips-unknown-linux-uclibc sample.

Update the i586-geode-linux-uclibc sample.

Add (EXPERIMENTAL) in prompts of those options that depend on EXPERIMENTAL.

Ad da svn:ignore property to ignore my local TOD file.

Make distclean work again: don't try to remove a directory twice.

Add a utility to populate a root directory with libraries from the toolchain.

Add linux-2.6.21.6 kernel.

Make regtest work back again.

Disable tarball creation until it's fixed.

Clean a little bit more.

More uClibc parrallel compilation cleanup.

Parrallel compilation is broken for uClibc (I don't know if any of my patches is doing it, or if mainline is already broken).

Silence "which" being verbose in some distros. (eg. Mandriva's which spawns "foobar was not found in /bin:/usr/bin:...." directly on stderr)

Update the mips-unknown-linux-uclibc sample, now it is able to build both linux and busybox.

Update the armeb-unknown-linux-gnu to be buildable.
Both busybox-svn and linux-2.6.21.5 are succesfully built.

Update version to 0.1.2+svn.

Bump version to 0.1.2.

ct-ng now needs the 'build' action to be passed when restarting/stopping at a specific step.
Don't use make to build steps, rather use CT_NG to call ct-ng.

Before trying to download sstrip (from buildroot), try a local copy first.

Update the overview documentation.

Update the armeb-unknown-linux-uclibc sample to:
- use latest binutils,
- build sstrip,
- build dmalloc and gdb.

Note: linux-2.6.21.5 for NSLU2 and busybox build!

Add binutils-2.17.50.0.17.

The armeb-unknown-linux-uclibc sample now builds without libfloat.
The generated toolchain is at least able to build busybox (which wasn't the case before).

Make checking the linux installed headers optional (instead of systematic).

Kill "./configure --local", it does not work and it is dangerous if one tries to "make uninstall"!

Get rid of eclipse fiels once and for all.
Homogenise the references to crosstool-NG:
- the project is named "crosstool-NG"
- the front-end is named "ct-ng"
- don't use shortcuts (such as "ct-ng" to stand for "crosstool-NG")
Default action is to print help.
Don't speak of make rules when dumping help, just speak of actions.

Bump version to +svn.

Bump version.

Don't install licenses files.

Fix handling --prefix.

Update docs/overview.txt to match the new way to call crosstool-ng: "ct-ng [action]" in lieu of "make [action]".

Rephrase the licensing of patches/

Little update to CREDITS.

Silence calling the saveSample.sh script.

Get rid of the eclipse files.

Update version back to +svn.
Note: to show that svn is current version plus current developements, the dash (-) has been replaced with a plus (+).
Thus, now that 0.1.0 has been released, we're preparing the next version, that is 0.1.0 plus svn developments, thus 0.1.0+svn

Bump version to 0.1.0

Fix running without installing.
Update README.
Point help to the man page.

chmod ct-ng to be executable in the build dir.

./configure gains a help entry.

Merge the build system to trunk: ct-ng is now installable:
- ./configure --prefix=/some/place
- make
- make install
- export PATH="${PATH}:/some/place/bin"
- ct-ng <action>

Better handling of the steps lists:
- new make rulle: liststeps,
- new help entry telling about liststeps,
- update documentation accordingly.

Make the progress bar a default for all samples.

Always call distclean after each sample when doing a regtest.

Update version to -svn.

Prepare to release crosstool-ng-0.0.5.

Rework the help system. For now, this is mostly a no-op (it only re-organise the help entries), but later, that may come in handy when we want ct-ng to be installable).

Offer an option to build the gdbserver statically. This helps in case of debugging shared library loading.

The log file is no longer configurable: it is always "${CT_PREFIX_DIR}/build.log".
Add an option to compress the log file upon successfull build.
Make rendering the toolchain read-only optional.
A few eye-candy fixes.

Default the progress bar to 'Y'.

Bail out if .config is missing.

Speak of regtest in "make help".

Update version to -svn.

Prepare to release crosstool-ng-0.0.4.

scripts/showSamples.sh:
- revert sample dumping to not show the components versions;

docs/overview.txt:
- reorder docs/overview.txt so that configuring comes before running,
- tell about regtest;

Makefile:
config/global.in:
- point to docs/overview.txt for the list of steps;

Add intermediate mesages when building regtests.
Distclean the repository after each sample during regtests.

Add the "regtest" make target: call "make regtest", and all samples wil be built, and a tarball made for each of them. First sample to fail causes the test to stop.

scripts/functions is responsible for initiating the log file.
Users of the log facility are in charge to use, move, delete this log file, now.

Fix printing components' file names.

Answer default values when doing a defoldconfig.

When doing a silent old config, don't check if stdin was redirected. ct-ng doesn't use this feature, and even better yet, it makes explicit use of redirecting both stdin and stdout at aome moments.

Add a function to print each component's filename: this eases building the tarball of the generated toolchain.
Hard-link the libfloat tarball instead of soft-link: this also eases building the afore-mentioned tarball.

When searching a matching extension for a file, also check for the empty extension.

Rework the generated config file handling.

Don't go menuconfig if no .config present.
Handle the case where targets does not exist when calling distclean.

dd the two latest versions of the linux kernel.

Add two te;plates on how to add a new tool/debug facility.
