Over a couple days, I was able to build Linux From Scratch 12.2 with some of the chapter 5 and 8 utilities substituted for toybox. The utilities I substituted were:
grep file tar patch sed gawk bc findutils diffutils vi kmod procps-ng I did _not_ substitute coreutils or util-linux, the compression utilities, bash, or inetutils/shadow (coreutils xz gzip bz2 bash inetutils shadow util-linux iproute) because coreutils/util-linux is a giant hairball needing its own de-construction separate from this test, the compression utils in toybox don't have compression support, and the inetutils/shadow replacement is mostly in pending. I didn't use a plain configuration, during the chapter 5 chroot build you need to disable su, mkpasswd, and login since they use crypt() out of libcrypt. However I did enable awk, bc, diff, modprobe, and vi out of pending (to replace gawk/bc/diffutils/kmod/vim). Besides the fact that most of the LFS packages build using toybox grep/diff/tar/patch/bc /awk/find/etc..., The "make install" step for bzip2 and ncurses both destroy the toybox binary (By overwriting what a symlink points to, and not the symlink itself). So it's a good idea to backup the binary during the build process. I wasn't able to build zstd (it's trying to call make with the CFLAGS for some reason I think?) or udev from systemd (cmake (which LFS never said to build) isn't there). But I also don't have a control test and I can't pinpoint these errors to anything in toybox specifically. - Oliver Webb <aquahobby...@proton.me> P.S. about removing texinfo: binutils requires it in it's build for some insane reason, but there's probably some way to make it not do that. _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list Toybox@lists.landley.net http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
