BusyBox
Version 1, changed by hippo5329@yahoo.com.tw. 05/29/2006. Show version history
This is about using busybox alone , not under buildroot or uClinux-dist.
You can download the latest snapshot or stable release from busybox.net .
Busybox, .config for cross compile

I used this flags before, (but not now)
EXTRA_CFLAGS_OPTIONS="-D__uClinux__ -Dfork=vfork"
Busybox, Makefile add elf2flt flag
busybox_unstripped: .depend $(LIBBUSYBOX_SONAME) $(BUSYBOX_SRC) $(libraries-y)

busybox: busybox_unstripped
$(Q)cp busybox_unstripped busybox

There is an important issue about busybox. It takes more memory on MMU-less arch.
So I moved away from busybox a little. I use stand alone init, sash, and servers from uClinux-dist. I built others utils into busybox. see UClinuxDist .
