Thanks Rob. I checked, only this option and dc applet seem to be the things needing libm on my machine. dc has no analogous CONFIG_FEATURE_DC_MATH. Will it satisfy you Loïc if we will rename CONFIG_FEATURE_AWK_MATH to CONFIG_FEATURE_AWK_LIBM (or ..._MATH_LIB, taking into account newbie user's needs) to indicate more clearly that this option will pull in libm, and add CONFIG_FEATURE_DC_LIBM too? Whoever doesn't want to link against libm is very likely to not require these awk/dc features, so [s]he will just unselect these two options. -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
