http://home.tiscali.no/natanael/software/apk-tools-alfa.tar.gz http://home.tiscali.no/natanael/software/apk-tools/index.html Seems like the webserver is blocking .sh files. I could post apk packages but I'd need someone to host them. I have also working bootcd with busybox/uclibc/udev. I'm thinking of adding the .h .a share/doc files to a package-dev pacakge instead of jst deleting the files. Then would it be possible to rebuild the build environment from the apk's. -- Natanael Copa -- [email protected] mailing list
