This patch was on mailing list, another patch to make sure -r is not passed directly but via -Wl switch is added. This was exposed when using clang and gold linker, clang does not have -r switch to do relocatable objects and problem happens specific to OE becuase we use LD = CC now what happens is that busybox assumes that linker will be called directly, and hence sprinkles linkers options in its kbuild system which aggregate into LDFLAGS, some of these options are happily ignored by gcc as well but it passes -r options rightly to linker so it all works, however when using clang, this falls apart since -r is not known option for clang so it drops this option and all obects which should be partially linked becomes ET_EXEC and when they are added to final link then gold starts to get confused /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld: error: applets/built-in.o: unsupported ELF file type 2 clang-3.7: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) (From OE-Core rev: 117282486b68e4da468c21795ea87bfc85625885) Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
=====================
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer),
patches against the various components should be sent to their respective
upstreams:
bitbake:
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation:
Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto(-bsp):
Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp)
Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in
doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of
oe-core and poky-specific files.
