Some packages misbehave, and install files in either of;
  - $(STAGING_DIR)/$(O) or $(TARGET_DIR)/$(O),
  - $(STAGING_DIR)/$(HOST_DIR) or $(TARGET_DIR)/$(HOST_DIR).

One common reason for that is that pkgconf now prepends the sysroot path
to all the paths it returns. Other reasons vary, but are mostly due to
poorly writen generic-packages.

And a new step hooks to check that no file gets installed in either
locations, called after the install-target and install-staging steps.

Changes v2 -> v3;
  - also check for $(HOST_DIR) in case the user specified an
    out-of-build-dir locatiopn  (Arnout)

---
Note that, in the current state of Buildroot, this *will* cause a lot of
build failures until all those packages are fixed. Among the known to
break are quite a few Xorg packages, plus many packages that need to
call moc (from Qt4 for sure, possibly from Qt5 too).

Hi Yann,

 Sorry to be annoying, but...

 Still not true for moc :-)

 Perhaps it would be better to handle the $(HOST_DIR) / $(O) combination here, so:

	if [ -d $(2)/$(HOST_DIR) -o -d $(2)/$(O) ]; then \

 You never replied to my comment that I think this would fit better directly in
the .stamp_install_* rules rather than as hooks. My reasoning is that it is much
more difficult to find out why some commands are being called when they're
hidden in hooks. That's not too bad for things like gathering statistics since
they're supposedly inobtrusive, but here you're throwing an error so it is
really useful to be able to find easily in the source where this error comes from.

 Arnout

Yeah. I was really off-tracks yesterday (hard day at $work, followed by
yet another hard day)... Sorry...

And then how do you differentiate the error message?

But granted, we should probably do both checks here, like so:

    if [ -d $(2)/$(HOST_DIR) ]; then \
        printf "error... HOSTD_IR...n" >&2; exit 1; \
    fi
    if [ -d $(2)/$(O) ]; then \
        printf "error... O...\n" >&2; exit 1; \
    fi

Yeah, sorry, see above... :-(

My reasoning is that I like hooks. ;-) After all, IIRC, I was the one to
add them in the first place; I have to use them! ;-)

But OK, that potentially makes sense, like we do for the .la fixups.

I like the way you categorize hooks: they are for instrumentation (hence
their names!). EVerything else you should go into the relevant command
block.

I'll fix up and respin.

Thanks! :-)

Yann E. MORIN.
