Re: [libposix-development] Installation support and GNU coreutils

[Chris F. <ch...@fa...>]

I'll look into building subsets of coreutils with libposix.
At least some of the tools look reasonably self-contained, although the
sheer size of the makefiles / configure scripts is a bit daunting :)

Subject: [libposix-development] Installation support and GNU coreutils

 I've added support for "make install" in libposix. With that we can
use libposix as a normal libc so that we can start linking more
general software with it. This means we can start "porting" GNU
coreutils (or other applications) to libposix. Current installation
works as follow:

 - from libposix directory, cd .. && mkdir libposix.build && cd
libposix.build
 - cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/libposix ../libposix
 - make
 - sudo make install
 - gcc -nostdinc -nostdlib -I /opt/libposix/include -L
/opt/libposix/lib -o myapp myapp.c <runtime> -lposix

 The runtime target is still missing (runtime.o), but it can be done
with CMake's add_custom_* functions. Currently, add the runtime
sources and includes to <runtime>.

 We need to find out if it's possible to build small parts of
coreutils instead of the whole package. Chris, can you do that ? If
it's not possible, we'll need another app.
