Before verifying MIPS builds, I'd like to make sure that why you take lib/$(ARCH)/ alternative, not $(ARCH)/lib/. If there were any discussion on #IRC, is there any chance we could share the summary or decision to follow?
There was no discussion, /lib/$(ARCH) just made more sense to me and it was functionally a direct translation from lib_$(ARCH) to lib/$(ARCH).
Using $(ARCH)/lib wouldn't clean up the top-level directory structure much and would open a can of worms that I'm not prepared to deal with at this time. For example, if there was an architecture specific
Oops, I wanted to say "arch/$(ARCH)/lib/", not $(ARCH)/lib/, sorry.
i thought that originally, but i dont care much either way. having arch/$(ARCH)/ would line up with u-boot-v2 and the linux kernel though.
i dont understand needing a lib/ subdir under arch/$(ARCH)/ though.
While we're talking about it, I'd always thought it would be nice to split out all the cmd_* files from common/ into their own command/ directory similar to u-boot-v2.
Ack. The directory structure in u-boot-v2 looks nice, at least, to me, anyway.
I prefer the arch/$(ARCH)/lib so will could also move the cpu stuff there too
I like the Linux and u-boot-v2 directory layout too the more I think about it too. How about if I resend this series but with the final directory structure looking like:
/arch/$(ARCH)/lib/<source files currently in lib_$(ARCH)
/lib/ /<source files currently in lib_generic> /libfdt/ /lzma/ /lzo/
/examples/ /api/ /standalone/
That will lay the groundwork for moving additional files into /arch/$(ARCH)/ down the road. eg I think it would be nice to move the directories in /cpu/* into their respective /arch/$(ARCH)/ directory, and possibly the /include/asm-$(ARCH) directories in the long run.
What do others think of this?
There were some discussions we'd better to reflect back on about this topic.
I can't toss the URLs of them at the moment as I'm behind a firewall, but these might help:
