Re: [leaf-devel] Bering compiled with uClibc

[Eric S. <E.S...@in...>]

My "private" Bering uclibc version is running stable since July and 
includes:
mawk, tc, bridge, ezipupd, weblet, root, log, etc, shorwall, local, 
initrd, dhcpd, pump, dnscache (and dhcpcd and dnsmasq). 
All the sources are from debian (the most recent versions). Compiling 
them against uClibc was not a big issue, the most programs compiles 
out of the box. There are a few minor issues: making symbolic links 
from stdin, stdout and stderr to fd/0 .. fd/2 (root.dev.mk) give 
problems with logging-in, so I removed them. I think it's got 
something todo with tmpfs and the implementation of termios in uClibc 
(well, Erik Anderson thinks it's got something todo with termios, i'm 
not a verry good programmer :-) Maybe it's fixed in the next version 
of uClibc.
An other issue is that I don't have the modified sources of ifupdown, 
so i includes busybox's ifconfig and route. But the complete Bering 
uClibc router is still a lot smaller than the original one (and the 
"old" ifconfig and route programs are still handy).

I have a complete source tree for the primary Bering stuff, so maybe 
it's time to put them in CVS.
