Do not put such a comment in the commit. If you want to put a changelog
with the differences since the first posting, it should go...

... here. I.e, after the "---" sign.

That's because we don't want the changelog to end up forever in the
Buildroot commit history.

I'd say it should rather be:

config BR2_PACKAGE_HTTPING_OPENSSL
	bool "OpenSSL support"
	select BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSL
	help
	  Adds OpenSSL support to httping

When we have sub-options to enable more features, we generally use
"select" to make sure that the needed libraries are brought in.

Any reason not to use 1.5.7.

Actually, the license seems to be GPLv2. If you look at this
license.txt file, it says:

The license of this program can be obtained from:
http://www.vanheusden.com/license.txt

And if you look at this other license.txt file, it contains the text of
GPLv2.

I saw your e-mail with your issues using TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS. But
there shouldn't be any issue doing:

define HTTPING_BUILD_CMDS
	$(MAKE) $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) \
		SSL=$(HTTPING_SSL) \
		DEBUG=no \
		TFO=$(HTTPING_TFO) -C $(@D)
endef

Thanks!

Dear Thomas,
Thanks again for the reviews. I'll go and fix the remaining issues.
I'll also go and use v1.5.7. I actually just found out today that this
version was released.
Thanks

That's indeed how it is normally done.

override CFLAGS += ..

  No.

  Normally CFLAGS should be assigned to either as

CFLAGS +=

  or

CFLAGS ?=

  and the user-settable CFLAGS are passed in the environment.


  I think most Makefiles follow that convention.


  Patch follows.
