Hi Didier,
Thank you for offering! I haven't tried statically linking vdev or
its helper programs yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You'll
need to tweak the vdevd and vdevd helper program makefiles (in
vdevd/Makefile and vdevd/helpers/LINUX/Makefile, respectively) to add
the -static directive to gcc. All of the helper programs only need
libc. vdevd needs libvdev (which can be built with make -C libvdev),
but libvdev only needs libc.
Let me know how it goes? I'll add it to the tutorial I just sent out
if it works :)
Thanks,
Jude

Dear Jude,
I would like to try your vdev. I plan to use a diskless
embeded powerpc I have available for devel. I prefer that to using
quemu and I want to keep my laptop functional h24.
I would do it in an OS built from scratch with only 3
components: kernel version 2.6.29, busybox and vdev. Therefore I
would like to compile vdev and link it statically from the source.
Does it seem feasible?
Didier

Hello Jude.
Here is a brief summary of what I did up to now. The goal was to
install a minimal rootfs in flash memory of an embeded Powerpc
(MVME3100) to use as a sandbox.
1) I compiled a kernel with the following boot parameters:
console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/mtdblock1 rootfstype=jffs2
2) The filesystem contains busybox-1.20.2 statically linked with
musl, which I had done a while ago.
3) vdevd:
I first tried to compile vdev natively on Debian Wheezy, but could
not link it statically as I wanted. This is actually a classical problem
with glibc everytime network functions are used. Actually the offending
functions are getpwnam_r() and the like. I guess this is related with
NIS compatibility built in the glibc.
I decided to link against musl libc. To save time I just downloaded
a ready-made image of sabotage-linux for powerpc and compiled vdev in a
sabotage chroot.
I have now my minimal OS working. init is a little script doing the
necessary mounts, including /dev on tmpfs and creating a few device
files (console, ttyS0, null, zero). The script starts an interactive
session and I could try to run vdevd by hand:
/ # vdevd /dev
00487:268746168: [ vdev.c:0425] vdev_init: ERROR:
vdev_config_load('(null)') rc = -14
00487:268746168: [ main.c:0042] main: ERROR: vdev_init rc = -14
/ #
AFIU, I am only missing a config file... :-)
Didier
