building system: improve firmware creation

2009-04-23T18:23:30+00:00

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab 

This is a major rewrite at v4l/firmware/Makefile: It will now create
firmwares only if they don't exist yet, or if the firmware "source" file
were touched.

Also, use implicit rules instead of explicit, in order to simplify the
file. Now, just one line should be modified if a new firmware is added.

Make firmware before install

2009-04-22T13:28:11+00:00

From: Nicola Soranzo 

Presently with the usual:

make && sudo make install

firmware is not built during make, but in the second step with root privileges,
which should be avoided.
This patch adds firmware dependency to the default make target.
Moreover, one more file (ihex2fw) should be deleted by firmware clean.

firmware/Makefile: Print more user-friendly messages

2009-04-20T11:47:22+00:00

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab 

This is just some cosmetic at firmware/Makefile, for it to use a more
user-friendly output, instead of just printing the used commands.

Fix some issues on out-of-tree firmware building

2009-04-14T11:46:22+00:00

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab 

Fixes:
- linux/firmware/Makefile is not used. Let's just remove it to avoid keep tracking on
  upstream changes on this file;
- make would need to run twice, due to a missing Makefile dependency;
- make -C v4l/firmware distclean were not removing everything.

v4l2-apps: fix v4l2-apps build and 'make firmware' warnings

2008-08-29T21:36:14+00:00

From: Hans Verkuil 

- fix some warnings when creating/removing directories when running
  'make firmware'
- fix v4l2-apps build: copy and strip the linux/include headers first
  to avoid the kernel-specific constructs in the original headers.
  Update the include paths to point to the copy.

Complete firmware compilation scripts

2008-07-20T03:37:25+00:00

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab 

This patch completes firmware compilation scripts:

- linux/firmware/Makefile is just a copy of kernel script make file. It is not
  currently used by the building system;

- Added two new targets for firmware compilation and instalation;

- Fixes the COPYING file to explicitly state that the firmwares aren't covered
  by GPL;

- make distclean will also cleanup the firmwares.

A few improvements at firmware build

2008-07-18T11:35:40+00:00

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab 

make firmware will now create the firmware files, using .ihex, .HEX and .H16
target files, under linux/firmware.

TODO:
   - use the right names for those firmwares;
   - link them with the module, if desired by enduser.
