Hi,

When i compile the kernel with Binary format selected as FDPIC following is the output for file command for busybox utility

"busybox: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped"

and if the option selected is "FLAT" then i get the following output

"busybox: BFLT executable - version 4 ram"

What should i do to build the busybox utilities such that it should not have any dependencies on any library files.

Thanks,

JP:

Busybox will always have dependencies on external libraries - they can either be included on the file system seperately (build as a shared lib) or they can be included in the application itself (if you build it statically). -- if it is FDPIC/FLAT doesn't matter.
