Hi!
I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.
That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.
I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.
'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.
One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.
egor
#49: I found one memory overflow and memory leak in "ln" applet.
Last patch reduced also 54 bytes. ;)
#50: I found bug in loginutils/Makefile.in.
New patch have also new function to libbb and
aplied this to applets and other cosmetic changes.
- Made a new dir loginutils
- Moved all applets from pwd_grp to loginutils
- Added new applets su.c login.c to loginutils
- Made a new dir libpwdgrp
- Moved everything from pwd_grp/libpwd_grp there
- Added shadow.c to libpwdgrp
- Removed dir pwd_grp
- Added usage strings for login and su to usage.h
- Changed main Makefile to reflect the dir rearrangements
[Parts of this patch may overlap with my other two patches]
