to test, checkout the source (let's assume /scratch/src/busybox), then
mkdir /tmp/bb ; cd /tmp/bb
make top_srcdir=/scratch/src/busybox O="$(pwd)" -f /scratch/src/busybox/Makefile allyesconfig check
- default to O=$(pwd) if no O was specified. Now you can just specify
the top_srcdir (without O=/somewhere) to create the obj-tree in pwd.
- make "make configtarget buildtarget" work. Previously this didn't
work due to how HAVE_DOT_CONFIG was evaluated. Two separate steps were
needed before, e.g. make config ; make busybox.
- remove some unneeded variables from Rules.mak (BB_SRC_DIR from Mr.
ldoolitt@recycle.lbl) which suggest that the stuff fixed above
didn't work before.
- move selinux libraries to where they belong (from Makefile to Rules.mak)
- update the docs to mention svn instead of cvs and provide an example
for building out-of-tree in INSTALL.
scripts/config from distclean to clean) with a sed consolidation that's
been in my tree for a bit, and switching the GPL boilerplate to just point
at LICENSE.
obvious (and less side-effect prone in strange build environments) BB_CONFIG_H.
Yeah, I know Erik ripped it out of our copy of menuconfig (which is a good
thing), but that doesn't fix people whose headers have it inherited from
linux-kernel headers or old versions of uclibc, and Erik's fix could easily
get forgotten and reverted the next time we update menuconfig anyway...
infrastructure, the compiler isn't smart enough to replace const static
int with the constant, and allocates space for each set of them,
bloating the executable something fierce. Oops.
So now, we #define ENABLE_XXX to 0 or 1 for each CONFIG_XXX (which
is still there so the 1000+ #ifdef/#ifndef tests don't have to be
replaced wholesale). Changed the test instance in networking/ifconfig.c
to use this.
Rob Landley, and others.
Currently CONFIG options are defined or undefined, so we chop out code with
#ifdefs, ala:
#ifdef CONFIG_THING
stuff();
#endif
This creates a new header file, bb_config.h, which sets the CONFIG entry to 1
or 0, and lets us do:
if(CONFIG_THING) stuff();
And let the compiler do dead code elimination to get rid of it. (Note: #ifdef
will still work because for the 1 case it's a static const int, not a #define.)

ahem. It looks like i'm slightly late with it but... Here's a little
addition to make 'make O=/some/where PREFIX=/some/where/else install'
work. Sorry for delay :(

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.

* Changed so that not only links but /bin/busybox might be deleted.
* When double quoted PREFIX is defined by `.config' is used,
`make uninstall' does not work correctly.
When default PREFIX `pwd`/_install defined by Rules.mak is used,
similarly it does not work correctly.
Changed $$PREFIX into $(PREFIX) in order to fix this.
Patch by Hideki IWAMOTO
modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.

#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

the busybox development tree. This eliminates the use of recursive make, and
once again allows us to run 'make' in a subdirectory with the expected result.
And things are now much faster too. Greatly improved IMHO...

bug with chroot. I've had the package uploaded but perms set to
000, so I am going to re-tag things and re-cut the release. Folks
who pulled from CVS in the last 30 minutes with just have to cope.

math suport, cleaner math syntax error checking, moves redundant signal
string tables (from kill and ash) into libbb and provides a few
cleanups elsewhere.
was written by Aaron Lehmann <aaronl@vitelus.com> for busybox. This
patch makes a few trivial changes to Aaron's code so that it can be
used (in theory) by the other shells as well...

make busybox be more uClinux friendly. I also adjusted Config.h for
uClinux so it will automagically disable apps the arn't going to
work without fork() and such.

was only being used by insmod these days.
Also, I spent a minute adjusting insmod so that it first searches
/lib/modules/`uname -r` and then (if that fails) searches /lib/modules,
which makes bb insmod behave much more like the real insmod, and should
avoid nasty surprises (such as the recent "Modutils vs. Busybox..."
thread).

April 25, 2001 snapshot, adjusted a bit by me so it has cmdedit support.
This checkin also removes sh.c. In the future sh.c will be a symlink to
your shell of choice. For now, this symlink will default to pointing to
lash.c (as in the past). If you change the symlink to point to hush.c,
then thats what you will get. This symlink business is a temporary situation,
which will be cleaned up Real Soon Now(tm).

This way, we can new get rid of all that tedious #define rubbish we used to
need to enable specific messages. This way is enormously simpler, and as a
bonus also ends up saving us 96 bytes.

support code after all). It also contains a patch from Larry Doolittle
that removes two instances of "strlen([^)]*) *- *1", un-shadows two
variables, relaxes requirement for a sprintf(3) that returns number of
bytes written, and eliminates a duplicate subroutine.
