From 5c071bcf2f6bc923b5d6779b3563d08b80a8949d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernhard Reutner-Fischer Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2005 07:40:46 +0000 Subject: - fix building out-of-tree; to test, checkout the source (let's assume /scratch/src/busybox), then mkdir /tmp/bb ; cd /tmp/bb make top_srcdir=/scratch/src/busybox O="$(pwd)" -f /scratch/src/busybox/Makefile allyesconfig check - default to O=$(pwd) if no O was specified. Now you can just specify the top_srcdir (without O=/somewhere) to create the obj-tree in pwd. - make "make configtarget buildtarget" work. Previously this didn't work due to how HAVE_DOT_CONFIG was evaluated. Two separate steps were needed before, e.g. make config ; make busybox. - remove some unneeded variables from Rules.mak (BB_SRC_DIR from Mr. ldoolitt@recycle.lbl) which suggest that the stuff fixed above didn't work before. - move selinux libraries to where they belong (from Makefile to Rules.mak) - update the docs to mention svn instead of cvs and provide an example for building out-of-tree in INSTALL. --- README | 26 +++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index bf2ae6f3f..d9bac59cf 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ Please see the LICENSE file for details on copying and usage. +Please refer to the INSTALL file for instructions on how to build.
