Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB should really build everything with static libraries. As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly. This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select shared, shared+static or just static. Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

The libphidget library provides an API for controlling Phidgets
|
|
USB devices. The library translates API function calls to libusb
|
|
function calls to control attached Phidgets devices that provide
|
|
GPIO's, DAC's, accelerometers, servo motors, and other capabilities
|
|
either singly or on combo devices.
|
|
|
|
To use libphidget for controlling locally attached devices you
|
|
need to set up the userspace USB device tree /dev/bus/usb. See
|
|
file udev/99-phidgets.rules.
|
|
|
|
The libphidget library also contains an API for sending commands
|
|
to a local or remote phidgetwebservice using HTTP. The
|
|
phidgetwebservice then translates HTTP requests to libphidget API
|
|
function calls to control locally attached Phidgets devices.
