fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	52 Firstly, make sure you have at least uclibc 0.9.17, as getusershell() in prior
fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	53 versions is broken. Also note that you may get strange issues if your uClibc
fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	54 headers don't match the library you are running with, ie the headers might

9597c2e3b9d4 Some doc changes Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: 69 diff changeset	59 You can use "make STATIC=1" to make statically linked binaries, and it is
9597c2e3b9d4 Some doc changes Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: 69 diff changeset	60 advisable to strip the binaries too. If you're looking to make a small binary,
1667 986126448688 Update remaining advise to edit options.h Alexander Dahl <ada@thorsis.com> parents: 1565 diff changeset	61 you should remove unneeded ciphers and MD5, by editing localoptions.h

fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	63 It is possible to compile zlib in, by copying zlib.h and zconf.h into a
fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	64 subdirectory (ie zlibincludes), and

fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	71 If you disable zlib, you must explicitly disable compression for the client -
fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	72 OpenSSH is possibly buggy in this regard, it seems you need to disable it

fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	75 You may want to manually disable lastlog recording when using uClibc, configure
fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	76 with --disable-lastlog.

69 59d16db56e9f Simple text changes Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: 4 diff changeset	78 One common problem is pty allocation. There are a number of types of pty
59d16db56e9f Simple text changes Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: 4 diff changeset	79 allocation which can be used -- if they work properly, the end result is the
59d16db56e9f Simple text changes Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: 4 diff changeset	80 same for each type. Running configure should detect the best type to use
59d16db56e9f Simple text changes Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: 4 diff changeset	81 automatically, however for some systems, this may be incorrect. Some
59d16db56e9f Simple text changes Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: 4 diff changeset	82 things to note:

fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	84 If your system expects /dev/pts to be mounted (this is a uClibc option),
fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	85 make sure that it is.

fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	87 Make sure that your libc headers match the library version you are using.

fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	89 If openpty() is being used (HAVE_OPENPTY defined in config.h) and it fails,
fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	90 you can try compiling with --disable-openpty. You will probably then need
fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	91 to create all the /dev/pty?? and /dev/tty?? devices, which can be
fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	92 problematic for devfs. In general, openpty() is the best way to allocate
fe6bca95afa7 Makefile.in contains updated files required Matt Johnston <matt@ucc.asn.au> parents: diff changeset	93 PTYs, so it's best to try and get it working.
