Are the LIB_SYMLINK definitions in the top-level Makefile defined at
the time they're used in package/skeleton/skeleton.mk? It looks like
those lines didn't get moved along with the rest of the bits from the
$(STAGING_DIR) target.

They are defined, so functionally things are fine, but nevertheless it
would have been cleaner if they'd had been moved.
Anyway, see related patch http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/560003/
which moves the definitions in toolchain/helpers.mk.

Steven, All,

As Thomas already replied, they are.
And even if they are defined after they are used', that is not a
problem. In Makefiles, the expansion of variables is not done at
the time of parsing, but at the time the rules are executed.
For example, test this simple Makefile:
$ cat Makefile
all:
@echo FOO="'$(FOO)'"
FOO=1234
$ make
FOO='1234'

My question was not about order of operations but rather whether any
definitions in the top-level Makefile applied to package .mk files. I
wasn't sure whether those were invoked in a sub-make or similar. From your
response it's clear they are included into the main Make process.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood your question, then.
We're only doing a single-level make, there's no sub-make.
Well, in fact, there can be sub-makes, if your umask is not what
Buildroot expects, but then the to-most make only set the umask
correctly before it calls a sub-make that does all the job.
Another case where you may see a sub-make being run is when you build
out-of-tree, in which case, the top-most make is just a wrapper to the
Makefile in Buildroot's topdir.
So, in all cases, all build actions are done in a single invocation of
make, so there's no need to propagate variables to sub-makes as there
are none.

Yann E. MORIN.
