Hello,
as I'm new to uClibc, let me introduce myself:
I am Roland Nagtegaal, and I work as a system admin at the university of
Leiden, Netherlands (physics department).
I was working on a mini-linux distro, to fit on a floppy.
It must contain the kernel, busybox, scp, and lshw, and possibly enough
of the uClibc libraries to make them run.
My problem is that I can't compile lshw under uClibc. For that, I need
to compile libstd++ first.
1. So, my first question is: is there a simple way to compile libstd++ ?
I searched the mailinglist, but that did not help me much...
2. How do I compile the linux kernel with uClibc ? I ran make bzImage,
but the executable was only 16KB. Too small, even with uClibc
(and it didn't run of course). make zImage also fails, and make
vmlinux works, but gives a 2.5MB file.
3. uClibc compiled binaries are not always smaller, it seems. For
instance: /bin/ls in the buildroot environment is 76KB, but on
redhat 7.3 it is 46KB (I did check it is not actaully a link to
busybox, it isn't). That is not a question, but what is the
norm? How much smaller are uClibc binaries usually?
Thank you,
Roland Nagtegaal
