[ptxdist] Building local package out of tree

[ptxdist] Building local package out of tree

[Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1002 bytes --]

Hello all,

I am trying to force ptxdist to build a local package (sources in
local_src/<package>) out of tree, so that I can build for different
platforms from the same BSP. This package is very simple and uses a
standard makefile.

Searching around I found some (not many :) mentions to <PKG>_BUILD_OOT so I
though this was what I needed.

However I must be doing something wrong. If I set <PKG>_BUILD_OOT := YES in
the <pkg>.make file, then:

1. Two directories are created:
platform/build-target/<pkg> where all source files from local_src/<pkg> are
copied (including the Makefile)
platform/build-target/<pkg>-build, which is initially empty

2. Then actual command executed by ptxdist in the compile stage is make -C
platform/build-target/<pkg>-build. But since there is no Makefile in this
directory, I get an error ("No targets specified and no makefile found")

Do I need to do something else besides setting <PKG>_BUILD_OOT ?

Thank you,

Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia

For building out of tree; I would suggest using cmake. This makes building OOT quite an easy task. As you only have a simple makefile setting up CMakeLists.txt is not that hard.
If the build process is more complicated you anyway want to use a build system like cmake.

IIRC this option enabled by default for cmake packages.

Thank you for the feedback. I said "out of tree" but I don't know if this
is the correct term here. It is not used in the same sense as in cmake.

What I mean is that I don't want the package to be built in
local_src/<pkg>. Rather it should be copied to a new directory (this is
being already done when I set <PKG>_BUILD_OOT -- everything is copied to
platform/build-target/<pkg>) and build there. The only problem is that
ptxdist tries to build in a *different* directory
(platform/build-target/<pkg>-build), which is empty.

I think there must be a way to do this more or less easily. I really don't
want to switch to CMake just for this..

BR,

Guillermo

I appreciate the suggestions :) but this is not what I am looking for.
Specially since ptxdist already knows how to do what I want to do. In fact
it does exactly that when you create a "src-linux-driver" package: The
sources are copied from local_src/<pkg> to a directory
platform/build-target/<pkg> and built there. I just need to figure out how
to make ptxdist do the same for a regular "src-make-prog" package.

Try using

FOO_URL := lndir://$(PTXDIST_WORKSPACE)/local_src
           ^^^^^

Works perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for.
