So I'm trying to build a Gentoo Stage 1 on top of busybox, uClibc, and a native toolchain, and emerge is hanging doing this:
patch -p0 --dry-run /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/util-linux-2.17.2/work/util-linux-ng-2.17.2/config/install-sh install- sh/1.5.6 That's the first time I've ever actually seen anything use the patch behavior: patch [options] [file-to-patch [patchfile]] So if there's an unused extra filename, it's the name of the file to patch (overriding the +++ and --- lines for all hunks, apparently), and if there's an extra file after that it works like -i was specified. I know how to make toybox do that (option parsing happens before main() gets called, the stuff your option string expresses interest in gets filled out in your global struct, and the remaining option array is toys.optargs[]), but have no idea how to make the strange getopt32() stuff busybox is using do that (you have to pass varargs to your function call and then the optargs wind up where? And if you need to pluck interspersied -options out of the leftover optargs you reorder the argv[] passed into you by the environment so you contaminate what ps shows? I may have known this at one point, but remember none of it...) Rob -- GPLv3: as worthy a successor as The Phantom Menace, as timely as Duke Nukem Forever, and as welcome as New Coke. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
