This will have no effect if your kernel or your C library lacks large file support for large files. Some of the programs that can benefit from large file support include dd, gzip, cp, mount, tar, and many others. If you want to access files larger than 2 Gigabytes, enable this option. Otherwise, leave it set to 'N'. config USING_CROSS_COMPILER bool "Do you want to build BusyBox with a Cross Compiler?" default n help Do you want to build BusyBox with a Cross Compiler? If so, then enable this option. Otherwise leave it set to 'N'. config CROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX string "Cross Compiler prefix" default "/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin/i386-uclibc-" depends on USING_CROSS_COMPILER help If you want to build BusyBox with a cross compiler, then you will need to set this to the cross-compiler prefix. For example, if my cross-compiler is /usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin/i386-uclibc-gcc then I would enter '/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin/i386-uclibc-' here, which will ensure the correct compiler is used. config EXTRA_CFLAGS_OPTIONS string "Any extra CFLAGS options for the compiler?" default "" help Do you want to pass any extra CFLAGS options to the compiler as you build BusyBox? If so, this is the option for you... For example, if you want to add some simple compiler switches (like -march=i686), or check for warnings using -Werror, just those options here. endmenu source archival/Config.in source console-tools/Config.in source debianutils/Config.in source editors/Config.in source fileutils/Config.in source findutils/Config.in source init/Config.in source loginutils/Config.in source miscutils/Config.in source modutils/Config.in source networking/Config.in source procps/Config.in source shell/Config.in source shellutils/Config.in source sysklogd/Config.in source textutils/Config.in source util-linux/Config.in menu 'Debugging Options' config DOSTATIC bool "Build BusyBox as a static binary (no shared libs)" default n help If you want to build a static BusyBox binary, which does not use or require any shared libraries, then enable this option. This will make BusyBox be considerable larger, so you should leave this option false unless you have a good reason (i.e. your target platform does not support shared libraries, or you are building an initrd which doesn't need anything but BusyBox, etc). Most people will leave this set to 'N'. config DODEBUG bool "Build BusyBox with Debugging symbols" default n help Say Y here if you wish to compile BusyBox with debugging symbols. This will allow you to use a debugger to examine BusyBox internals while applets are running. This increases the size of the binary considerably and should only be used when doing development. If you are doing development and want to debug BusyBox, answer Y. Otherwise, answer N. config DODMALLOC bool "Build BusyBox with dmalloc support" default n depends on DODEBUG && !DOEFENCE help This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ ) which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will want to properly set your environment, for example: export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space -p log-elapsed-time \ -p check-fence -p check-heap -p check-lists -p check-blank \ -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy -p allow-free-null This will make BusyBox be considerable larger and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled for production use. config DOEFENCE bool "Build BusyBox with Electric-fence support" default n depends on DODEBUG && !DODMALLOC help This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which used your computers virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless you are hunting a hard to find memory problem. endmenu
