Any tips on building it under HLFS?
I'm sorry, I've not actually built an HLFS, I mostly lurk, interested in stuff you're doing. My own distro (Bent) is strongly inspired by LFS (read, I couldn't have done it without LFS), but departs in many ways; strong software packaging, uClibc instead of glibc, static linking only, no dynamic linking or support for dynamic loading, no i18n. That said, I'm not sure any special hints would be needed for busybox under HLFS; Bent Linux is probably a bit more off-the-beaten-path than HLFS and my busybox spec (appended) doesn't seem to have any platform-specific arcana. > >Bash is part of a decadent system. > > I love the nomenclature.

I've been known to call it my mid-life crisis project, and my sound bite is, Unix as I grew to love her around 1980, when both she and I were a lot younger, slimmer, and healthier. -Bennett pkg busybox-1.01 url http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.01.tar.bz2 http://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.01.tar.bz2.sign busybox-1.01-config build \ tar xjf busybox-1.01.tar.bz2 cd busybox-1.01 make distclean cp ../busybox-1.01-config .config make ( cat docs/busybox_header.pod; \ ./docs/autodocifier.pl include/usage.h; \ cat docs/busybox_footer.pod ) > docs/busybox.pod mkdir -p $BPM_ROOT/usr/share/man/man8 make PREFIX=$BPM_ROOT install-hardlinks pod2man docs/busybox.pod >$BPM_ROOT/usr/share/man/man8/busybox.8
