[Buildroot] [PATCH 0 of 4] ccache dependencies

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

As discussed, this series includes some changes related to ccache dependencies.
Important: see note in the second patch.
I included Samuel's patches here for convenience.

Best regards,

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1 of 4] dependencies: build without ccache

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

This patch forces the plain host compiler to be used during the building of
dependencies, without ccache as it is not yet built.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2 of 4] host-ccache: turn into a proper dependency

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

This patch moves the host-ccache build target from BASE_TARGETS in Makefile
to an actual host prerequisite in support/dependencies. This causes
host-ccache to be built as part of the dependencies, before any real package
is built.
Since the dependencies are built without ccache anyway, there is no need to
set HOST_CCACHE_CONF_ENV anymore.

Note: this in itself works, when the dependencies are built (regular 'make'
for example, or explicit 'make dependencies'). However, if we want to
supersede patch http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/257372/, that wants
the following to work:

$ make clean menuconfig
$ make {barebox,busybox,ctng,linux,uclibc}-menuconfig

then I think something additional is necessary. In the above flow, the
dependencies target is never used, so host-ccache doesn't get a chance to
build.

Humm... I don't think so. This patch should be enough to fix the bug #5678.
I mean, to run *-menuconfig, the package need to be extracted beforehand.
I expect the 'dependencies' target is part of dependency list of the
*-extract target (because of host-tar).
If it's done so, then it's ok tm.

I may be missing something, but I don't see a dependency of *-extract
on 'dependencies'.
Also, I tried the scenario and it doesn't work. The compiler used to
do the linux-menuconfig is with ccache, and it isn't built
automatically, unless you specify 'dependencies' manually.

But it's not the case as far as I can see.

in busybox.mk:

busybox-menuconfig busybox-xconfig busybox-gconfig: busybox-patch

in pkg-generic.mk

$(1)-patch:             $(1)-extract $$($(2)_TARGET_PATCH)

$(1)-extract:           $(1)-source \
                        $$($(2)_TARGET_EXTRACT)

$(1)-source:            $$($(2)_TARGET_SOURCE)

and that's it. Nowhere it pulls 'dependencies' as far as I can see.

I didn't say it was, but how I expect it should be. ;)

Arf... Maybe more work is needed to fix that bug.

What should we do with this series?
And how to proceed with the menuconfig thing?
