📦 Package Details

Maintainer: none listed in the package Makefile

Description:
Adds a host build of giflib: the static and shared library and its header, installed into the host staging directory, with the documentation left out. Kodi's TexturePacker, a host tool that packs a skin's images into texture bundles at build time, reads GIF images through it. The Kodi package that needs it is being prepared for openwrt/video; the target packages are unchanged, so PKG_RELEASE stays.

LLM use: this description was written with an LLM coding agent working under my direction, which also ran the build check below.

🔬 Run Testing Details

• OpenWrt Version: SNAPSHOT (main)
• OpenWrt Target/Subtarget: rockchip/armv8, bcm27xx/bcm2711 (host build)
• OpenWrt Device: none, build only
• make package/giflib/host/compile and make package/giflib/compile for both targets; Kodi 22's TexturePacker builds and links against the host library in the Kodi image build for both.

Formality Check: Suggestions Available

We checked this pull request against the contribution guidelines. Here is what needs your attention:

⚠️ STYLISTIC WARNINGS & SUGGESTIONS

Package Release Audit:

• ⚠️ Content changed in these packages, but without a PKG_RELEASE or version bump:

  • libs/giflib

  Increment PKG_RELEASE by 1 (or bump PKG_VERSION/PKG_SOURCE_DATE and reset PKG_RELEASE to 1) so users receive the update.

Do not increment release for minor changes. Cosmetic edits (e.g., typos in comments, copyright updates, formatting/whitespace), changing the package maintainer (PKG_MAINTAINER), or updating source download info (PKG_SOURCE_URL / PKG_HASH) do not require incrementing PKG_RELEASE.

One optional nit inline; nothing blocking.

nit (optional, non-blocking): the target side uses $(FPIC); the host counterpart is HOST_FPIC at rules.mk:116 rather than a hardcoded flag.

Suggested change

	CFLAGS="$(HOST_CFLAGS) -fPIC" \
	CFLAGS="$(HOST_CFLAGS) $(HOST_FPIC)" \
