编译busybox出现的问题

今天研究了一下busybox的编译。自己下了一个busybox-1.25.0的版本（直接从busybox官网上下载：https://busybox.net/downloads/），进行编译，遇到了一些问题，通过百度搜索和自己摸索，也成功解决了，详细记录如下：

首先交代一下系统版本和开发环境：

• 操作系统：ubuntu 12.04（64bit）
• 交叉编译工具链：arm-linux-gcc 4.4.3
• busybox源码包：busybox-1.25.0

一、修改Makefile配置

首先解压源码包：

tar -jxvf busybox-1.25.0.tar.bz2

• 1

进入busybox-1.25.0目录，修改Makefile文件如下：

ARCH ?= arm
CROSS_COMPILE ?= arm-linux-

• 1
• 2

二、修改配置文件

make menuconfig

• 1

选择Busybox Settings—>Build Options—>，选择[*] Build Busybox as a static binary（no shared libs）；

三、编译源码，解决问题

make clean
make

• 1
• 2

出现如下错误：

miscutils/nandwrite.c: In function 'nandwrite_main':
miscutils/nandwrite.c:151: error: 'MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW' undeclared (first use in this function)
miscutils/nandwrite.c:151: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
miscutils/nandwrite.c:151: error: for each function it appears in.)
scripts/Makefile.build:197: recipe for target 'miscutils/nandwrite.o' failed
make[1]: *** [miscutils/nandwrite.o] Error 1
Makefile:742: recipe for target 'miscutils' failed
make: *** [miscutils] Error 2

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5
• 6
• 7
• 8

解决办法：

MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW在/usr/include/mtd/mtd-abi.h中定义，于是将/usr/include/mtd/mtd-abi.h拷贝到busybox的include文件中，然后在nandwrite.c文件中包含该头文件：

gedit miscutils/nandwrite.c 

• 1

修改

#include "libbb.h"
#include <mtd/mtd-user.h>

• 1
• 2

为

#include "libbb.h"
#include "mtd-abi.h"
#include <mtd/mtd-user.h>

• 1
• 2
• 3

此问题解决。继续make，又出现如下错误：

util-linux/blkdiscard.c: In function 'blkdiscard_main':
util-linux/blkdiscard.c:72: error: 'BLKSECDISCARD' undeclared (first use in this function)
util-linux/blkdiscard.c:72: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
util-linux/blkdiscard.c:72: error: for each function it appears in.)
scripts/Makefile.build:197: recipe for target 'util-linux/blkdiscard.o' failed
make[1]: *** [util-linux/blkdiscard.o] Error 1
Makefile:742: recipe for target 'util-linux' failed
make: *** [util-linux] Error 2

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5
• 6
• 7
• 8

解决办法：

BLKSECDISCARD在/usr/include/linux/fs.h中定义，同上理，直接将/usr/include/linux/fs.h拷贝到busybox的include文件中，不过这次还要额外修改一下文件中的部分内容，否则会出现编译失败。

1、屏蔽以下4个头文件（否则编译时会提示找不到头文件）：

//#include <linux/limits.h>
//#include <linux/ioctl.h>
//#include <linux/blk_types.h>
//#include <linux/types.h>

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

2、屏蔽以下几个结构体（否则编译时会提示找不到类型定义）：

#if 0
struct fstrim_range {
    __u64 start;
    __u64 len;
    __u64 minlen;
};

/* And dynamically-tunable limits and defaults: */
struct files_stat_struct {
    unsigned long nr_files;     /* read only */
    unsigned long nr_free_files;    /* read only */
    unsigned long max_files;        /* tunable */
};

struct inodes_stat_t {
    int nr_inodes;
    int nr_unused;
    int dummy[5];       /* padding for sysctl ABI compatibility */
};
#endif

然后修改blkdiscard.c中对fs.h头文件的包含方式：

gedit util-linux/blkdiscard.c

• 1

修改

#include <linux/fs.h>

• 1

为

#include "fs.h"

继续make，编译能通过了。但是在链接的时候出现问题：

Linux System Utilities—>nsenter，去掉该选项，重新编译make，又出现如下错误：

Coreutils—>sync选项去掉，重新make编译通过，终于顺利生成了busybox可执行文件。

OK，今天到此为止，明天再继续研究。

搞定，收工！
