libtinycbor.a created as a directory on some buildsystem

[ffontaine]

Thanks for accepting the change on unnamed union.
There is another issue with tinycbor on buildroot. On some architectures, it seems that libtinycbor.a is created as a directory. You can find more information here: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/652187/. II have not found the issue yet.

There is juste this line which seems at bit strange to me: "test -d $(@d) || $(MKDIR) $(@d)". I don't think this line is needed because src and tools directories are always there but this is harmless.

Did you already have this issue with libtinycbor.a created as a directory?

I just submitted a pull request that fixes this issue.

Thanks, I would never have guessed what the issue was.

Thanks to both of you, could you make a new release such as 0.32 so we could remove these two patches from buildroot?

[thiagomacieira]

No, as the first patch was removed from master. You'll need to wait for the 0.4 release to get it.

Dear Thiago,

It seems you reapplied the patch on unnamed union to the dev branch and made a new 0.3.2 release which does not include this change (even it is listed in the release note: https://github.com/01org/tinycbor/releases/tag/v0.3.2). Did you have more tests to do to validate this change and publish a new release?

Best Regards,

Fabrice

The patch will be in the 0.4 release. I can't update too quickly because people need to get rid of their 0.2 depracated API first.
