Bernhard, can you elaborate? Do you want to use libbusybox as a "real" library "? I.e. link other programs against it beside busybox apllets? I added stuff to svn which makes libbusybox export _only_ XXX_main functions. This minimizes size, but will preclude you from calling any other function. I looked into making libbusybox.so executanle itself, but it looks like that needs a lot of linker magic for questionable gain - I can have tiny (less than 3k) "busybox" executable linked against it providing the same functionality. Any specific reasons why do you like to have PIE busybox-which-is-also-libbusybox? -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
