This allows to use the board option when building as long as it has been configured before
As we don't want to force configuration of all boards each single time, auto-configuration support now has to be done per-board
This is the --localstatedir that is found on other
buildsystems/programs + the package directory. We could provide a
--localstatedir instead to be similar to the others, but I thought it
would be too confusing for the help message.
In the end the build time is always almost the same, but it's a pain to
change one header and have it check the world. CI continues to use the
check so we can get any mistake before merging.
The original proposal was to add this functionality to the --upload option, but
it turns out that --upload seems something slightly different from what the
functionality added with patch does.
The issue motivating this patch is at
https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/6283
Command for a local installation under BLD/install, where BLD is the build
variant. This will be useful for commands that depends on the install command.
That makes more sense, since that module is supposed to have basic Ardupilot
specific features. The root wscript should be a mere user of those features.
That way we avoid recompiling source files that don't depend on vehicles.
Change notes:
- UTILITY_SOURCE_EXTS: moved to ap_library
- Task generators indexes: ap_library handles that now and in a better way
- Use of AP_STLIB_FEATURES: it doesn't make sense anymore, since the stlib
taskgen has empty source list
- Flags and defines: passed down to ap_library through AP_LIBRARIES_OBJECTS_KW
- Set use='mavlink' in AP_LIBRARIES_OBJECTS_KW instead of calls to
bld.ap_stlib().
Otherwise, a call like `waf configure --board <foo> <command1>` will make
`<command1>` run on wrong variant if there was a different variant configured
previously, or an empty variant if the project is "distcleaned".
That makes it easier see what callbacks are or not being added and the order
they are executed. While at it, don't add build summary callback when in a
check command.
