This commit removes the version selection for the busybox package. Busybox is very well maintained, and bugs are typically fixed in a timely fashion. Moreover, regressions are fairly unlikely in this very stable and well-tested tool. Therefore, there isn't a very compelling reason to have a version selection for Busybox since we don't accept such a version selection for the vast majority of other packages, unless there is a strong reason to do so. Consequently, this commit: * Removes the 1.19.4, 1.20.2 and 1.21.1 Busybox versions, patches and default configuration file. * Moves the 1.22.1 patches from package/busybox/1.22.1 to just package/busybox/ like all other packages. * Renames the default 1.22.1 configuration file to just busybox.config. * Adapts the busybox.mk makefile to encode the current version to use. * Adds appropriate options to Config.in.legacy. However, even though the BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_22_X is removed, we don't add a Config.in.legacy option for it, since it would cause a legacy warning for virtually *all* users as most people are currently using 1.22.x.

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) Use your shiny new root filesystem. Depending on which sort of root filesystem you selected, you may want to loop mount it, chroot into it, nfs mount it on your target device, burn it to flash, or whatever is appropriate for your target system. You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Offline build: ============== In order to do an offline-build (not connected to the net), fetch all selected source by issuing a $ make source before you disconnect. If your build-host is never connected, then you have to copy buildroot and your toplevel .config to a machine that has an internet-connection and issue "make source" there, then copy the content of your dl/ dir to the build-host. Building out-of-tree: ===================== Buildroot supports building out of tree with a syntax similar to the Linux kernel. To use it, add O=<directory> to the make command line, E.G.: $ make O=/tmp/build And all the output files (including .config) will be located under /tmp/build. More finegrained configuration: =============================== You can specify a config-file for uClibc: $ make UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=/my/uClibc.config And you can specify a config-file for busybox: $ make BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FILE=/my/busybox.config To use a non-standard host-compiler (if you do not have 'gcc'), make sure that the compiler is in your PATH and that the library paths are setup properly, if your compiler is built dynamically: $ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3.orig HOSTCXX=gcc-4.3-mine Depending on your configuration, there are some targets you can use to use menuconfig of certain packages. This includes: $ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 linux-menuconfig $ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 uclibc-menuconfig $ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 busybox-menuconfig Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
