bareboxenv - tricky ptxdist behavior
Hallo,
I just used bareboxenv tool in linux userspace after a long troublesome trip through ptxdist.
That would not have to be, if the description of "build bareboxenv tool for target" in barebox config has said, that i has to enable the tool platformconfig.
Perhaps you want to change this behavior or indicate it in the description.

Is there a "in" missing in the sentence above? There is a platformconfig in ptxdist, but this is a file or a ptxdist subcommand, not a tool. Could you clarify what your problem was? I do not really understand.

Let me pitch in here.
Alexander tried to build bareboxenv by enabling it within the barebox.config. He succeeded in doing so. But the tool did not show up in the final rootfs because the option "install bareboxenv" from platformconfig was not enabled.
Yes, the "build bareboxenv" tooltip cleary states that it will be build. But there's no word about the "install barebox" option in platformconfig.
At this point we wished for a small hint, pointing us in the right direction.
I have no idea how to resolve this properly since barebox (and bareboxenv) can be build without ptxdist and pointing to a nonexisting (ptxdist-)configuration will get people confused.
regards
Andreas
