[PATCH v3 3/5] sandbox: Detect the host bit size automatically

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Mon Aug 2 02:56:11 CEST 2021


At present if you build sandbox on a 32-bit host a lot of errors are
produced. This is because CONFIG_HOST_64BIT is enabled by default.

It is quite annoying to have to change that manually before building
sandbox. It is also quite confusing for new users.

Add a way to detect the setting and add the appropriate
CONFIG_HOST_64BIT=y or CONFIG_HOST_32BIT=y to the defconfig, to avoid
this issue.

Changes in v3:
- Use 'bitness' instead of 'bit'

Changes in v2:
- Drop patches previously applied
- Put all the packages in gcc.rst
