$ vi scripts/recreate-prereq.sh ... $ grep '^od ' log.txt od "-Anone" "-vtx1" https://github.com/landley/toybox/blob/0.8.11/scripts/make.sh#L230 > Also, have you thought about specifying FILES through > the command line to reduce build time by only building what we need to. Have I thought about micromanaging the build in a way that may not link in combination with a given set of generated/*.h files? Probably at some point. Keep in mind I've been doing this stuff on and off since... depending on how you want to look at it, 1999. > Scanning > for commands with “which” "which" looks at what's installed on the host out of the $PATH. what does that have to do with what's configured in toybox?

I built defconfig under record-commands, and then did the standard "awk '{print $1}' | sort -u | xargs" trick from literally _decades_ ago: https://github.com/landley/aboriginal/blob/dbd0349d8ae6/sources/toys/report_recorded_commands.sh#L10 https://landley.net/aboriginal/FAQ.html#:~:text=logging%20wrapper to get a list of the commands used by that, and used that to generate a toybox .config file enabling those commands. I then made a SHELL SCRIPT that DID ALL THAT so you could SEE HOW/WHY IT WAS BUILT (and also so I could automate updating it, yes I should probably add it to release.txt): https://github.com/landley/toybox/blob/master/scripts/recreate-prereq.sh And tried to explain that I'd done so: https://github.com/landley/toybox/commit/d1acc6e88be5 And how to use the result: https://github.com/landley/toybox/commit/3bbc31c78b41 > Then generating generated/ > files based off of that?
