Revert "tools/automake: bump to 1.17"

2025-02-24T11:27:47Z

This reverts commit b930ce3bf7aa350cf0252dbf95c9447e51be4de9. Bump to 1.17 broke SDK portability as it partially reverted commit ("automake: portability fixes") which made Perl PATH "/usr/bin/env perl" as that is portable, as otherwise automake will set the absolute path to the Perl binary and this will then fail when using SDK on a different system as that PATH is not present. So, since fixing this would require backport of upstream commit ("configure: make perl path with whitespace a warning, not error.") which requires autoreconf to be done in order for configure to get regenerated we cannot do it because at that time we do not have automake built. So, for now revert the bump until upstream makes a new release. Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

tools: prefer gz or bz2 tarballs

2024-04-06T09:24:18Z

In the light of recent XZ events, and fundamental XZ issues lets work on moving away from using XZ. So, use gz compressed tarballs as sources whenever possible. dwarves only offers bz2 compressed tarballs, so use those as size difference is minor compared to XZ. Signed-off-by: Robert Marko dwarves

tools/automake: move file requirements to higher strictness

2023-05-04T04:07:28Z

GNU standards requires certain files at the top-level directory of a package that automake is used with, mostly documentation. If one of these files happens to be missing, autoreconf would fail. Move these file requirements to the more strict 'GNITS' setting. Link: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Strictness.html Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt

tools/automake: verbose variable compatibility

2023-03-26T22:41:49Z

An old patch attempted to harmonize the way that both Openwrt and Automake uses the $(V) variable. However, it was reverted because of the side-effects. This method is more simple and just allows Automake to accept any string as part of the verbosity toggle, falling back to the default if null.

tools/automake: bump to 1.16.5

2023-03-13T21:53:41Z

Automake releases 1.16.2 to 1.16.5 are major releases, the two before are minor releases. The first patch needed rewriting, some lines moved to be consistent with the same change upstream in other files. This also simplifies the patch. Second patch refreshed. Links to changelogs in order, oldest to newest.

tools/automake: use make variable to generate aclocal symlinks

2023-03-13T21:53:41Z

Instead of having a somewhat random list of aclocal symlinks which are named with the API versioning scheme, install a symlink for every API version since 1.11 (the first release after Automake was moved to git) using the API version number from the version of automake that is currently in openwrt. Automake API versioning does not include the patch level number. Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt

tools/automake: clean up build recipes

2023-03-13T21:53:41Z

The configure option datarootdir defaults to PREFIX/share. The Host/Clean define should be Host/Uninstall otherwise it is removing the build directory before there is a chance to try "make uninstall" in that directory. Host/Clean/Default is no longer defined. Consolidate the install stage with Host/Uninstall, since it is essentially uninstalling before installing. Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt

automake: use STAGING_DIR_HOST in relocatable patch

2023-01-09T20:33:18Z

Instead of using STAGING_DIR and then go up one dir with '../' use directly STAGING_DIR_HOST env variable. This should produce cleaner symbolic links. Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi

tools: add Host/Uninstall where possible
