ipv6 and eglibc

I'm trying to add the postgres package, starting with this hints:

http://www.slideshare.net/jerome42/create-lightweight-docker-containers-with-buildroot

I'm using the eglibc in order to enable the eglsf support for Qt5. Postgresql requires the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_INET_IPV6.

Searching for this keyword I see this:

Symbol: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_INET_IPV6 [=n] ?
Type : boolean
Prompt: Enable IPv6 support
Location:
-> Toolchain
Defined at package/uclibc/Config.in:70
Depends on: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT [=y] &&
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_UCLIBC [=n]
Selects: BR2_INET_IPV6 [=y] ?

I guess because I'm using eglibc instead of uclibc.

This is because what J?r?me (who happens to be my cousin) did was not completely correct (and I've Cc'ed J?r?me so he gets this feedback!).

Having a dependency on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_INET_IPV6 in a package is incorrect, as it only works with the internal toolchain backend, when building uClibc toolchains.

Instead, he should have read the great Buildroot documentation at
http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#dependencies-target-toolchain-options :-)

So, Marco, just modify the line:

depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_INET_IPV6

by:

depends on BR2_INET_IPV6

Also, please submit patches to add Postgresql support. Instead of having people following the not-completely correct tutorial of J?r?me, we would have Postgresql support in Buildroot itself.

Thanks!

Thomas,
here my current package files of postres:

Config.in
config BR2_PACKAGE_POSTGRES
bool "postgres"
depends on BR2_INET_IPV6
help
Postgres SQL server

comment "postgres requires a toolchain with IPV6 support enabled"
depends on !BR2_INET_IPV6

postgres.mk
POSTGRES_VERSION=9.3.2 POSTGRES_SOURCE=postgresql-$(POSTGRES_VERSION).tar.gz POSTGRES_SITE=http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v$(POSTGRES_VERSION)/($POSTGRES_SOURCE) POSTGRES_CONF_OPT=--with-system-tzdata=/usr/share/zoneinfo POSTGRES_DEPENDENCIES=readline zlib

$(eval $(autotool-package))

I added the source item in the main Config.in and I selected the "postgres" package in the nconfig menu.
However, I can't see any reference to it neither in the Makefile nor in the build directory (of course after a make clean all cycle).
