I don't think host-elf2flt should be added at this level of dependency. If I understand correctly elf2flt, it interfaces with the linker, so I believe making elf2flt a dependency of binutils would probably make a bit more sense. Best regards, Thomas

It's already done correctly in the dependency deparment... HOST_ELF2FLT_DEPENDENCIES = host-binutils host-zlib The problem is it's never pulled in when it's necessary - before the real packages start building, so adding it up as a gcc dep when BR2_BINFMT_FLAT=y would be appropiate. Regards.

But that's obviously wrong, since elf2flt requires the libbfd library I suspect. > The problem is it's never pulled in when it's necessary - before the > real packages start building, so adding it up as a gcc dep when > BR2_BINFMT_FLAT=y would be appropiate. Indeed. If it's not needed during the gcc build, one solution is to add its as a dependency in host-gcc-final. Thomas

It's needed for some uClibc combination, link-flat.so which uses elf2flt pulls in libgcc according to uclibc/Makerules (used in uclibc/libc/Makefile.in). I think it's safer to pull it in for gcc-intermediate or even gcc-initial. Regards.

So, as a dependency of gcc-initial seems like a better choice. Thanks, Thomas

Yes, an example is the blackfin external toolchain. elf2flt is shipped with said toolchains so it's not related if that's your concern. Regards.

I know little about this flat format, but isn't it possible to use an external toolchain and still want flat binaries? Best regards, Thomas

Ok thanks. That was indeed my concern... Best regards, Thomas

This ensures elf2flt will be built when BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ELF2FLT=y before building other packages. Signed-off-by: Axel Lin <axel.lin@ingics.com> --- I don't have a blackfin platform, only test build this for blackfin. Without this patch, the first time build will result in ELF binary because busybox is built before elf2flt. With this path, the result looks good, it produces BFLT executable for busybox. support/dependencies/dependencies.mk | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+)
