[Gllug] Library help

[Matthew Thompson]

As a follow on to my attempt to find a nice small firewall I've decided 
to make my own - partially following the briding firewall route 
suggested here but on Linux instead of OpenBSD (Didn't like the command 
line disk partitioning but that's another matter.

I've got a neat litle disk made using BYLD 
(http://byld.sourceforge.net) and a load of tweaking to get it working 
with my RedHat 8.0 PC here - 920kb of compressed code consisting of a 
2.4.20 kernel with networking and drivers compiled in, busybox and 
tinylogin with a few other bits and pieces to make up a filesystem.

This booted happily until I decide to migrate the whole build over to 
uClibc (http://www.uclibc.org).

I'm now getting a "Kernel panic - No init found. Try passing init= 
option to kernel." error and I tink that it's to do with the libraries 
not being on the disk.

Using the version of ldd that comes with uClibc I have found all the 
libraries needed but I'm unsure as to one thing

the output from it is as follows:

tinylogin: is setuid
	libcrypt.so.0 => /usr/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/libcrypt.so.0 (0x00000000)
	libc.so.0 => /usr/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/libc.so (0x00000000)
	/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/lib/ld-uClibc.so.0 => 
/usr/-386-linux-uclibc/lib/ld-uClibc.so.0 (0x00000000)

What I'm usure of is why the first two libraries show just the file 
name in the first half of the output but the last one shows the full 
path - is the application looking for a hardcoded location for that 
library and if it is is there an easy way to change this?

tinnylogin and busybox both show the same thing here and both natively 
support compilation ith uClibc - it's an option in their Makefiles.

M at t :o)
