Guys (any gals here yet?) -
I made a first attempt to untangle the applet selection
process from the rest of busybox configuration. My patch
is posted at
http://recycle.lbl.gov/~ldoolitt/applet-config.patch
It actually "works". I suspect it has created a number
of self-consistency bugs (in particular, for some reason
I can't enable both logger and syslogd), but the basic
functionality is there.
Type make: busybox builds
Type make: "Nothing to be done for `all'."
Uncomment a line in applet_select.h
Type make: usage.o, applets.o, and the new applet are compiled,
and a new busybox is linked.
Take a look, and see if it seems like a good direction to take.
Next, I'd like to see Config.h split out into pieces that affect
either one or a few applets, so those can be changed without
recompiling the world. In the long run, how about a GUI that
can edit all these files, and instantly display the size
implications for each option change?
