# ==========================================================================
# Building binaries on the host system
# Binaries are used during the compilation of the kernel, for example
# to preprocess a data file.
#
# Both C and C++ are supported, but preferred language is C for such utilities.
#
# Sample syntax (see Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt for reference)
# hostprogs-y := bin2hex
# Will compile bin2hex.c and create an executable named bin2hex
#
# hostprogs-y    := lxdialog
# lxdialog-objs := checklist.o lxdialog.o
# Will compile lxdialog.c and checklist.c, and then link the executable
# lxdialog, based on checklist.o and lxdialog.o
#
# hostprogs-y      := qconf
# qconf-cxxobjs   := qconf.o
# qconf-objs      := menu.o
# Will compile qconf as a C++ program, and menu as a C program.
# They are linked as C++ code to the executable qconf
