Basic Dropbear build instructions:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Edit localoptions.h to set which features you want. Available options
 | 
						|
  are described in default_options.h, these will be overridden by
 | 
						|
  anything set in localoptions.h
 | 
						|
  localoptions.h should be located in the build directory if you are
 | 
						|
  building out of tree.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- If using a Mercurial or Git checkout, "autoconf; autoheader"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Configure for your system:
 | 
						|
  ./configure     (optionally with --disable-zlib or --disable-syslog,
 | 
						|
                  or --help for other options)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Compile:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  make PROGRAMS="dropbear dbclient dropbearkey dropbearconvert scp"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Optionally install, or copy the binaries another way
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  make install (/usr/local/bin is usual default):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  or
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  make PROGRAMS="dropbear dbclient dropbearkey dropbearconvert scp" install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(you can leave items out of the PROGRAMS list to avoid compiling them. If you
 | 
						|
recompile after changing the PROGRAMS list, you *MUST* "make clean" before
 | 
						|
recompiling - bad things will happen otherwise)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See MULTI for instructions on making all-in-one binaries.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you want to compile statically use ./configure --enable-static
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By default Dropbear adds various build flags that improve robustness 
 | 
						|
against programming bugs (good for security). If these cause problems
 | 
						|
they can be disabled with ./configure --disable-harden
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Binaries can be stripped with "make strip"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
============================================================================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you're compiling for a 386-class CPU, you will probably need to add
 | 
						|
CFLAGS=-DLTC_NO_BSWAP so that libtomcrypt doesn't use 486+ instructions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
============================================================================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Compiling with uClibc:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Firstly, make sure you have at least uclibc 0.9.17, as getusershell() in prior
 | 
						|
versions is broken. Also note that you may get strange issues if your uClibc
 | 
						|
headers don't match the library you are running with, ie the headers might
 | 
						|
say that shadow password support exists, but the libraries don't have it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Compiling for uClibc should be the same as normal, just set CC to the magic
 | 
						|
uClibc toolchain compiler (ie export CC=i386-uclibc-gcc or whatever).
 | 
						|
You can use "make STATIC=1" to make statically linked binaries, and it is
 | 
						|
advisable to strip the binaries too. If you're looking to make a small binary,
 | 
						|
you should remove unneeded ciphers and MD5, by editing options.h
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It is possible to compile zlib in, by copying zlib.h and zconf.h into a
 | 
						|
subdirectory (ie zlibincludes), and 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
export CFLAGS="-Izlibincludes -I../zlibincludes"
 | 
						|
export LDFLAGS=/usr/lib/libz.a
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
before ./configure and make.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you disable zlib, you must explicitly disable compression for the client -
 | 
						|
OpenSSH is possibly buggy in this regard, it seems you need to disable it
 | 
						|
globally in ~/.ssh/config, not just in the host entry in that file.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You may want to manually disable lastlog recording when using uClibc, configure
 | 
						|
with --disable-lastlog.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
One common problem is pty allocation. There are a number of types of pty
 | 
						|
allocation which can be used -- if they work properly, the end result is the
 | 
						|
same for each type. Running configure should detect the best type to use
 | 
						|
automatically, however for some systems, this may be incorrect. Some
 | 
						|
things to note:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    If your system expects /dev/pts to be mounted (this is a uClibc option),
 | 
						|
	make sure that it is.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	Make sure that your libc headers match the library version you are using.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	If openpty() is being used (HAVE_OPENPTY defined in config.h) and it fails,
 | 
						|
	you can try compiling with --disable-openpty. You will probably then need
 | 
						|
	to create all the /dev/pty?? and /dev/tty?? devices, which can be
 | 
						|
	problematic for devfs. In general, openpty() is the best way to allocate
 | 
						|
	PTYs, so it's best to try and get it working.
