Thanks for the quick and excellent reply. The "Build-Target -cfg vdrhtpc -job 5-busybox" command did the magic and I was able to compile busybox on its own and not to nuke my host Linux system.
I have to admit that I had stopped reading manual after seeing "Build-Pkg" command with optional package parameter. I thought that "yes, that's the command" and went on running it. Well, now I know more. Thanks. I'm happy to post this vdrhtpc (or whatever the final name will be) as an additional target to T2 once I have finalized it. I'm still learning T2 environment but have made already great progress. Doing all this manually would have taken ages to build tailored distro. The vdrhtpc distro does have some featues not found from existing "general/embedded" targets so it might be some contribution. For example it runs completely in RAM filesystem but is still able to store modified files back to hard disk (squashed image file on disk) when needed (ie. log and temp files are never stored back to hd). It uses UnionFS also so if something goes seriously wrong in saved session then it is easy to revert back to "factory default" settings by discaring the additional UnionFS layer. BarryK in Puppy distro has done great work with Puppy and the use of RAM+UnionFS+Squash combination was inspired by Puppy. However, Puppy distro is for desktop office usage so didn't quite fit in "set-top-box" HTPC environment. This is why T2 came in the picture. And don't tell my kids but Santa Claus is bringing in brand new Playstation3 console and I'm planning to test this vdrhtpc setup in PS3 also. T2 might be great environment to compile both PC and PS3 light-weight htpc distro easily. Yes, PS3 is for kids not for me :-) - Mike t2 wrote: > >> ./scripts/Build-Pkg -cfg vdrhtpc busybox > > IMHO you should use 'Build-Target' with the option '-job' and define the > stage.
