Commit 34b34e2d45 uses the full path to libapps.a and introduced the use of the Make notdir command. That command breaks the Cygwin build because when a native Windows toolchain is used, the full path to libapps.a is a Windows-sytle path and the Make notdir command (like most other GNU Make commands) fails if it is passed a Windows-style path. This commit replaces the Make notdir command with the Bash basename command which can handle Windows paths.
This works by having the build system look for nuttx/external/Kconfig
to determine whether this directory is present or not. nuttx/external
is gitignored in order to be added by the final user but not to be
commited into the repo. Tipically this will by a symbolic link, just like
apps/external.
Inside external/ a Makefile should be placed with the same structure
than any nuttx/ subdirectory (eg: nuttx/drivers/). The
nuttx/external/Kconfig will be sourced and any options defined there will
appear at the bottom of menuconfig (unless options are conditioned on
menus, in which case they will appear accordingly).
The purpose is to allow arch/board independent code, which for any
reason is not to be upstreamed (propietary, not relevant for mainline,
testing, etc), to be built into the OS during OS building stage. This
way the user does not need to fork the NuttX repo to do so. This feature
complements well with external apps and custom board support.
In some cases, when NuttX configuration changes and this makes the
object list used to build one of the .a libraries change as well,
since the command used to build it is "ar crs" and this simply appends
the list of object files, the library could still include object
files from prior builds. This commit modifies the ARCHIVE macro to
erase the .a file if it already exists.
Since in some cases this behavior was actually expected (object
files from a subdirectory were appended to a library created one
level above) I added a ARCHIVE_ADD which works as ARCHIVE did.
This change should greatly improve behavior of building after
configuration changes.

mkdeps uses system() thus a shell to execute cc.
it doesn't work if you have something like
CFLAGS += -DMBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE="<mbedtls/user_config.h>"
because the shell interprets "<" as a redirect.
to fix it, we should do either
* make it shell-quote arguments
* or, stop using system()
this commit implements the former.
some platforms provide easy ways to do the former.
eg. https://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?shquote++NetBSD-current

i guess the latter approach is more common.

In the past a very low effort interface was used:
- All parmeters were treated as though they were type uinptr_t, and
- The maximum number of parmeters (6) was passed in all cases.
The first is potentially wrong and the second is very inefficient. This commit improves this by:
- Making tools/mksyscall.c more intelligent, and
- Extending the syntax for variadic functions.
For example, in syscall.cvs, the open() API was represened like this:
"open","fcntl.h","","int","const char*","int","..."
In reality, open may take only a single optional argument of type mode_t which is not the same size as uintptr_t. And there is not reason to pass 6 parameters in that case.
And this has been extended to:
"open","fcntl.h","","int","const char*","int","...","mode_t"
The existence of the "mode_t" tells tools/mksyscall that there is at most one optional parameter and, if present, it is of type mode_t.
There is case as below:
When do testbuild under Linux host, such as './tools/configure.sh stmf4discovery:nsh',
arch/arm/src/board is a symlink to boards/arm/stm32/stm32f3discovery/src. Then do
'./tools/refresh.sh --silent stmf4discovery:nsh' after build, it would break the board
symlink with copydir.sh instead of link.sh since defconfig with Windows host config.
So call sethost.sh to restore BOARD_DIR. Or it results in 'make distclean' not correctly.

In an older PR, the standard kconfig-tweak calls were replaced with sed edit. This is an incorrect change and results in invalid configurations. This change restores the use of kconfig-tweak and always generates correct configurations.
This change resolves issue #386
sed edits do not handle all of the dependencies correct and generates invalid configurations. Most defconfig files specify Linux by default, so you will only see the effect of the corruped configuration when sethost changes changes to a different configuration. Then, when 'make olddefconfig' is subsequentyly run, the corruption in the defconfig file is reflected by warnings such as:
$ tools/configure.sh -c stm32f4discovery:nsh
Copy files
Select CONFIG_HOST_WINDOWS=y
Select CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y
Refreshing...
.config:62:warning: override: reassigning to symbol HOST_WINDOWS
.config:62:warning: override: HOST_WINDOWS changes choice state
Those warnings are eliminated by this changed.
Tested by repeatedly doing:

This resolves issue 718: nxstyle line width check was ignoring the line width check for single line comments.
This turned out to be an artifact in parsing. Usually when parsing character by character, the file character to be parsed was '/n'. Howefver, in the case of parsing single line comments, the final character was the NUL terminator. This means that the lenth check was not being performed in the case of single line comments.
NOTE: Currently, I have suppressed error reports for single line right-hand comments. My fear is that this will unmask more standard violations than we can cope with. It is easy to re-enable and perhaps we should do that in the future:
/* Check for long lines
*
* REVISIT: Long line checks suppressed on right hand comments
* for now. This just prevents a large number of difficult-to-
* fix complaints that we would have otherwise.

The sub-string MHz is used frequently is pre-processor variable definitions. The section "Lowercase Exceptions" permits reasonable use of lowercase characters in pre-processor variable names and, given the frequency of the use of MHz (no pun intended), it certainly should qualify.
Allow "Public Function Prototypes" sections in .c files. Per the coding standard, all public function prototypes belong in .c files. However, there are some situations when the public function prototype is needed in a .c file and it shoudld, most correctly, be placed in a "Public Function Prototypes" section.
Checking for white-listed prefixes is also simpler now because the check is table driver. New data structure: g_white_prefix[] and new function white_prefix().
In some cases, a separate toolchain is necessary to
build modules.
E.g. the sim on macOS, where the native format is Mach-O.
By default, just use CC/LD, which is appropriate for
the most of platforms.
This reverts commit b9ace36fcc.
This change was added by PR 625 but has a serious logic flaw. It removes all occurrences of INCDIROPT and replaces it with a definition in tools/Config.mk:
else ifeq ($(WINTOOL),y)
DEFINE = "$(TOPDIR)/tools/define.sh"
INCDIR = "$(TOPDIR)/tools/incdir.sh" -w
This logic flaw is the Config.mk is included in all Make.defs files BEFORE WINTOOL is defined. As a result, the definition is wrong in many places when building under Cygwin with a Windows native toolchain.
Redirect configure.sh stdout to /dev/null to suppress lots of log

initial addition
This tools needs to CD to directory holding the library because it requires that the library be in the current working directory when objects are inserted. Previously, the tool did this by creating an absolute path to the object file itself. So instead of the object file being in the current directory and the library in a directory at an absolute path, this tool used an abolte path to the object file with the library in the current directory.
For the most part, that worked fine. However, in the apps directory the object file names are greatly extended in length. In the object file name was extended to a full absolute path and these huge file names were were exceeding some internal limit within the ZDS-II librarian. But useing shorter, relative paths, we were able to avoid hitting this limit and the entire build completed correctly.
* tools/zds/zds_Config.mk: Move boards/z80/ez80/scripts/eZ80_Config.mk to tools/zds/zds_Config.mk where it can be shared by other ZDS-II platforms.
* boards/z16/z16f: Duplicate changes for new ZDS-II support from ez80
* boards/z80/z8: Duplicate changes for new ZDS-II support from ez80
* arch/z16/src/z16f/Toolchain.defs: Create required Toolchain.defs file for Z16f
Eliminate the MOVEOBJ definition from tools/Config.mk, Makefiles, and other locations. The MOVEOBJ definition was used to work around the case where the object output of a compile or assemble is in a different directory than the source file. The ZDS-II tools have no command line option to perform this move; MOVEOBJ handled the move as a post-compiler operation.
MOVEOBJ is no longer needed because this the ez80 COMPILE and ASSEMBLE definitions now handle all of the object file movement cases.
tools/zds/zdsgen.c: Remove this program. It should have been a simpler way to manage ZDS-II compiler and assember differences. However, the compiler arguments needed to pass through too many layers of bash command line modifications and, as a result, it was not possible to retain quotes on critical strings. This approch was abandoned for an alternative approach.
boards/z80/ez80/scripts/eZ80_Config.mk: Add definitions to move the object files as necessary. This seems to work well and is implemented for both native and Cygwin Windows build -- but only for the Z20x.
And additional wrapper that is needed for the ZDS-II build is a wrapper for the compiler and assemble. This is needed because the ZDS-II cannot control the name or location of the output of the output object file: it is always in the same directory as the source file and with the same name as the source file except with the .obj extension.
This was handled in the past with the MOVEOBJ definition which was specifically called Makefiles to move the objects to the correct position. However, now there is a new behavior: Output object files may also be named differently with added decoration in the file name. This is done in the current apps/ directory build.
There is currently some ugly implementation that includes a long sequence of Bash code to handle the moving and/or renaming. There is nothing in place for the Windows native case.
This wrapper, when complete, will clean up the Makefiles, improve build performance, and provide a solution that is portable to both the Cywin/MSYS environment as well as to the Windows native environment.
