Cleanup: Automake: remove single use variables

2021-01-20T10:53:58+00:00

Throughout the Automake files, there is a consistent pattern somewhat like this: FOO_BINS = .... sbin_PROGRAMS += $(FOO_BINS) This commit all such patterns whenever the variable is not used anywhere else and appends to the target directly. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Remove headers from EXTRA_DIST

2021-01-20T10:53:51+00:00

This commit removes the C header files from the EXTRA_DIST variables and instead assigns them to the SOURCE variable of the respective components they belong to. This takes care of having them distributed in the release tar ball and helps with dependency tracking a little. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

mtd-utils: Fix potential negative arguments passed to close(2)

2020-02-09T21:13:18+00:00

Many tools open a file descriptor, close it a the end and have some form of error path in between that jumps to the end. In some cases, if opening the file fails the error path is taken and the utility ends up closing one or more invalid file descriptors. It's technically not a real issue but something that pretty much any static analysis tool barks at. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Eliminate warnings about missing prototypes

2017-06-28T08:27:31+00:00

This patch eliminates warnings generated by the -Wmissing-prototypes option. With this flag set, we are now forced to have prototypes for all global, exported functions, that have to be made visible to the definitions and we are forced to mark all local functions as static.

nor-utils: Return error code if command line option is unknown

2017-06-14T08:55:27+00:00

The tools in question will quit with an exit code 0 if the command line option was not recognized. By returning an error code a calling script has the possibility to distinguish between a real success and an invalid invocation. Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Unify version string printing

2016-11-17T10:36:55+00:00

When a program does sophisticated enough command line processing (i.e. getopt), make sure it responds to -V and --version. When a program prints a version string, make sure it uses the common_print_version macro to print out its name, that it is part of mtd-utils and the mtd-utils version from the build system in a fashion similar to common program packages like the GNU coreutils. When a program responds to -V/--version or -h/--help, make sure it reports success exit status. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

Change build system to autotools

2016-11-17T10:36:55+00:00

This patch is largely based on Richards original RFC. The major differences to the RFC patch are: - Add missing sumtools & mtdpart targets - Fix name of mkfs.jffs2 target - Add missing subdir-objects option for non-recursive make - Move all automake options to configure.ac - Add manpages to install target - Make XATTR & LZO support configurable - Install binaries to sbin directory like in the old build system - Install flash_erase wrapper script - Add files missing from distribution target Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

mtd-utils: Restructure the mtd-utils source.

2015-11-11T22:38:40+00:00

* There is no code modification in this commit, only moving * the files to proper place. The user tools looks a little messy as we place almost the all tools in the root directory of mtd-utils. To make it more clear, I propose to introduce the following structure for our source code. mtd-utils/ |-- lib |-- include |-- misc-utils |-- jffsX-utils |-- nand-utils |-- nor-utils |-- ubi-utils |-- ubifs-utils `-- tests Signed-off-by: Dongsheng Yang Signed-off-by: Brian Norris
