[Buildroot] How do I pass arguments into autoconfig tools ./confgiure

[Buildroot] How do I pass arguments into autoconfig tools ./confgiure

[Kyle Sulek]

I am trying to add a package to buildroot. The autogen.sh file in the
source directory is as follows

===================================================
#! /bin/sh

srcdir=`dirname $0`
echo "srdir: $srcdir"
test -z "$srcdir" && srcdir=.

ORIGDIR=`pwd`
cd $srcdir

autoreconf -v --install || exit 1
cd $ORIGDIR || exit $?

$srcdir/configure --enable-maintainer-mode "$@"

===================================================


This is what I have for my package .mk file
===================================================
############################################################
####################
#
# ti-gbm
#
############################################################
####################

# This correpsonds to SDK 02.00.00.00
TI_GBM_VERSION = 96f37555c7e82a417b02051661377b10e6b3966e
TI_GBM_SITE = git://git.ti.com/glsdk/libgbm.git
TI_GBM_LICENSE = GPL-2.0
TI_GBM_LICENSE_FILES = GPL-COPYING
TI_GBM_INSTALL_STAGING = YES
TT_GBM_INSTALL_TARGET = YES
TI_GBM_AUTORECONF = YES
TI_GBM_AUTORECONF_OPTS = -v --install

$(eval $(autotools-package))
===================================================

However, I cannot figure out how to pass --enable-maintainer-mode "$@" into
the configure script.

The license text in source files heading comments look more like MIT.

I could not find this file in the source tree.

Buildroot adds the -i (i.e. --install) parameter already. See 
package/autoconf/autoconf.mk.

Since you need AUTORECONF anyway, the --{enable,disable}-maintainer-mode has 
no effect in practice, AFAIU. So I think you can just leave it out.

Hi Kyle,

Please keep the list on Cc.

Which script?

What error do you see?

I'm not a Yocto expert, but I don't see anything obvious in this recipe. Maybe 
someone else on the list can help with that.
