The build automatically generates a file "busybox.links",
I remembered that make install does it, but I must have missed that part in the INSTALL doc somehow.
I still don't see the '.links' file. Never built busybox before, and I haven't done a 'make install' yet. I skipped quickly over the make install section. SInce I can't build on the tablet a 'make install' in the SDK won't gain me anything yet, unless I just use it to make the symlinks and then tar 'em up. I'm not willing to trash my N800 with the SDK image. I just got through reflashing my OS2007 backup after a disappointing foray with OS2008, and I need a usable device. I'm really not prepared to wipe my N800 out again just to test the SDK image until I have that image just like my existing one. I just wanted to see if busybox worked before anything, so I simply copied the compiled binary over to the N800. Since it works, the next step for me is to copy the symlinks and the binary into my existing root image and flash that. Hopefully the "busybox --install -s" command works. If not I suppose I'll rerun the config with that in and recompile.
After that I'll do a .deb. That might take a bit though. I've always been an RPM user.
Oh, almost forgot, it's about 740K.
740K ought to be enough for anybody . . .
