Hello. When running testsuite, we're trying to execute applets by their names, like "grep", "cp", "sh" and so on.
When CONFIG_BUSYBOX_PREFER_APPLETS set to "y", busybox tries to exec itself. But this, in turn, depends on CONFIG_BUSYBOX_EXEC_PATH pointing to the right executable. On linux this is /proc/self/exe, but this obviously requires mounted /proc. On other systems, this does not work. On Debian we used "/bin/busybox" as BUSYBOX_EXEC_PATH, to work around not mounted /proc (since busybox is used as shell for initramfs), and for other systems without /proc/self support. But this way, as long as our just-built busybox is not placed to /bin/busybox, we can't test it, we're testing system /bin/busybox (provided it actually exists), or system utilities (found in $PATH). So now I'm basically lost. I can re-set EXEC_PATH back to the default "/proc/self/exe", this will re-enable testsuite on linux correctly. It will still fail on other systems (*bsd, solaris etc). Any suggestion on this? Thanks, /mjt _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
