[okl4-developer] Porting Linux Libraries to OKL4

[Prince Riley]

Greetings Everyone,

Well after posting the question of how to port Linux library code to OK
Linux I had expected to receive a few answers or comments directing me
gently but firmly to documentation on our wiki that would enlighten me.

While it's been only a few days, I haven't received a single chirp from
anyone and that
unfortunately means one of two things:  either A) no one has ever done it
and no one knows how, or B) everyone is still so busy following their own
projects that I am left to my own devices.

For the sake of everyone's pride I'll presume B).

Now then, given this is an OSS project it falls upon me to venture boldly
into
the darkness of my own ignorance and painfully pick my way toward
discovering the
answers to my questions on my own. As I stumble around to everyone's
amusement
perhaps I might succeed in making this journey less painful for those who
might follow me.

So let's start at the beginning.

Since there is no documented OK Linux binary spec, I'll infer from the wiki
info that
the GNU libraries are supported in some fashion since the wiki says that
busybox runs with OK Linux.  This fact alone is most encouraging since I can
easily  acquire the  sources for other GNU/Linux libraries and I can use our
estimable  Scon build  framework and try to compile them. Presuming that I
don't trip up and break any of the traditional Linux  ./configure and ./make
install scripts I should be able to add them to Scon with very little
trouble.

Starting with busybox I'll try to build it and then use that process to
build the other Linux libraries with the ultimate goal of building the
libstd++ library to run in OK Linux.

Everyone wish me luck.

Prince
