153 | An easy method to build your own basic BusyBox based system, is to | ||
154 | follow these simple steps: | ||
155 | <ul> | ||
156 | <li> Point your web browser <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">here</a> | ||
157 | <li> Click on "Download tarball" | ||
158 | <li> Unpack the tarball on your Linux system somewhere | ||
159 | <li> run 'make' and configure things to taste. | ||
160 | <li> run 'unset CC'. Some Linux systems (i.e. Gentoo) set 'CC' | ||
161 | in the system environment which messes up cross compiles. | ||
162 | <li> run 'make' | ||
163 | <li> go have lunch, drink a pop, call a friend, play a video game, etc | ||
164 | till it finishes downloading software and compiling things. | ||
165 | <li> You should now have a shiny new BusyBox based system. | ||
166 | </ul> | ||
