To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) run 'make'
|
|
|
|
|
2) wait while it compiles
|
|
|
|
|
3) run './UMlinux' to test out your root filesystem using User Mode Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You do not need to be root to build or run this system. Each Virtual Terminal
|
|
|
|
|
will be opened in its own window. You must be running X and have xterm
|
|
|
|
|
installed for this to work -- otherwise you see a few errors on bootup as it
|
|
|
|
|
tries to launch xterms. It will still work on a console, but you will not
|
|
|
|
|
have access to the other Virtual Terminals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, you the uClibc and busybox source trees that
|
|
|
|
|
are downloaded are fully set up for anonymous CVS access. You may need to set
|
|
|
|
|
up your system for anonymous CVS access by running the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs login
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then just hit Enter when it prompts you for a password. You only need to do
|
|
|
|
|
this once. Then, whenever you want to update your system, just go into the
|
|
|
|
|
busybox or uClibc directory and run 'cvs update'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Have fun!

NOTE:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For './configure' to behave itself with certain applications, you may need
|
|
|
|
|
to create a symlink under "/lib" on your system that points to the uClibc
|
|
|
|
|
shared library loader in the staging directory. For example, on my system
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd /lib
|
|
|
|
|
$ sudo ln -s /home/andersen/buildroot/build/staging_dir/lib/ld-uClibc.so.0 ld-uClibc.so.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't use sudo, run 'su -' to become root when making the link. If
|
|
|
|
|
you aren't root it won't work. The reason for this symlink, is it allows
|
|
|
|
|
'./configure' to actually execute the test applications it compiles against
|
|
|
|
|
uClibc during the configuration process....
