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

this patch fixes run_parts when it's called by ifupdown. 1) argv has to be a NULL terminated char* array, not just a string. 2) run_parts now explicitly sets the environment. this environment is populated from the /etc/network/interfaces config file and is needed by the scripts in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/. when run-parts is called from the command line the environment is taken from the current process. Vladimir Oleynik then wrote: You can simplify this if use: + bb_xasprintf(&buf[0], "/etc/network/if-%s.d", opt); + buf[1] = NULL; + + run_parts(&buf, 2, environ); + free(buf[0]); --w vodz

2002-12-05Yet another major rework of the BusyBox config system, using the considerablyEric Andersen
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. -Erik

2002-01-26Patch from Russ Dill <Russ.Dill@asu.edu>. From theEric Andersen
start-stop-daemon man page: -b|--background Typically used with programs that don't detach on their own. This option will force start-stop-daemon to fork before starting the process, and force it into the background. WARNING: start-stop-daemon cannot check the exit status if the process fails to execute for any reason. This is a last resort, and is only meant for programs that either make no sense forking on their own, or where it's not feasible to add the code for it to do this itself. This is usefull for applets like watchdog
