And maybe pigz instead of gzip, but pigz requires zlib (zlib-ng works too). Cons: pigz doesn't have wrapper script such as for grep (zgrep). Can be installed for both, gzip just for wrapper script if needed 😄 lol

So far.... Ninja -> Samurai zlib -> zlib-ng gzip -> pigz pkg-config -> pkgconf [done] m4 -> ibara's m4

And when prefer to build CMLFS with *BSD portable programs and libraries instead of GNU 😸

@owl4ce how about gettext-tiny? Sometimes, autotools (autoconf+automake+m4+etc] run fine for regenerating configure for coreutils ... other times it fails. Have you had any similar experiences?

Yes, thats works like a charm 👍🏻

But sorry, I use Toybox for replacing some packages e.g bc, coreutils, file, findutils, grep, inetutils, procps, sed, sysklogd, and tar. So, I also replace man instead of man-db and not installing man-pages for temporary.

diffutils, awk, make, and patch are still GNU because of compability that most packages using GNU implementation style (which is powerful). psmisc in toybox-0.8.5 just available for killall command.

This is very time waste to configure commands for first time (I created every config for some steps). Since toybox still developed and not all commands are available.

In my concepts, I was trying to build with less GNU utils and libraries lol 😄

I may start another repo with that as the purpose

I did rebuild llvmtools to replace Ninja with Samurai to drop libffi and python3. Definitely made llvmtools smaller:

python3+libffi+ninja: ~ 140Mb ( .tar.xz ) Samurai + no python3 + no libffi + no ninja: ~ 116Mb ( .tar.xz )

Libcxxabi requires python. Definately need to add libffi + python3 to llvmtools

But.. build fails caused by autom4te that still needs GNU M4.

Looks like autom4te has to be patched for Ibara's M4

dslm4515 commented 3 years ago

I have not gotten around to porting gettext-tiny from simple Makefiles to a build system generated by GNU's autotools. The current source of gettext-tiny does not use libtool... i think i ran into a problem 1-2 years ago where a package required some sort of library archive or file made from libtool with gettext-tiny source.

I may reconsider using a different build/configure system if autotools are hard coded for GNU's autotools (M4, autoconf, automake, etc.)

dslm4515 commented 3 years ago

I'll move this to discussions
