However, uclibc is built into the per-arch toolchain_build_$(ARCH) directory and installed into build_$(ARCH), rather than the per-project build directory project_build_$(ARCH)/$(PROJECT). And so is the gcc cross-compiler built against that uclibc. Only a few packages build into the per-project build directly, name busybox and uclibc. The problem is that if you change your uclibc configuration you may well need to rebuild all your programs too, because autoconf tests might return different results etc. Effectively you have to build everything per-project (including the whole toolchain). Is there much benefit in trying to share package builds between projects, as buildroot does right now? Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB
