Compiling BusyBox

• If cross-compiling, choose the target CPU architecture and cross-compiler in Makefile (just as in the Linux kernel): ARCH ?= arm CROSS_COMPILE ?= arm-linux- Add the cross-compiler path to the PATH environment variable: export PATH=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin:$PATH

• Compile BusyBox: make

• Install it (this creates a Unix directory structure in _install with all the symbolic links to the busybox executable): make install Logged as root, mount the root fs image (e.g. /mnt/rootfs) rsync -a _install/ /mnt/rootfs/
