Don't be surprised :D Im built this system from scratch (https://github.com/prologic/ulinux)
Basically the build system consists of just tcc and make. I was able to get musl libc in the mix too, but quite a few things I had to build on a separate host system to bootstrap the system. Anything in the ./pkgs/ directory has to be bootstrapped on a host system. Everything in ./ports/ is able to be built on a running uLInux system itself. My original goal was to build the smallest possible useable Linux, it actually started out as a fork of Minimal LInux Live (you may have heard of it?) then quickly turned into Minimal Container Linux ( https://github.com/prologic/minimcal-container-linux) and now uLinux ( https://github.com/prologic/ulinux). The idea is still to have the smallest possible useable system, so this means shoving in binutils and all manner of GNU software is out-of-scope as it tends to be rather fat and bloated :) Are you starting to see the picture? Fortunately uLInux is capable of running containers though including Docker and a custom container system called box so I can actually build things in a container then copy the artifacts to the host. cheers James James Mills / prologic E: prolo...@shortcircuit.net.au W: prologic.shortcircuit.net.au Blog: Read my Blog <https://prologic.blog/> Twtxt: Follow me on twtxt.net <https://twtxt.net/user/prologic> On Sun, Nov 29, 2020 at 11:37 PM Christian Jullien <eli...@orange.fr> wrote: > I’m beginning to understand your problem, you need ar and no one is > present (or found). > > Questions: > > - What is exactly your build system?
