HowTo: Finit on Alpine Linux 3.4
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Mini HowTo using Finit to boot an Alpine Linux system. It is assumed
|
|
that the user has already installed a compiler, C library header files,
|
|
and other tools needed to build a GNU configure based project.
|
|
|
|
To start with you need to first install [libuEv][] and [libite][], by
|
|
default they install to `/usr/local` and Alpine's `pkg-config` does not
|
|
look for libraries and header files there. So the `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR`
|
|
environment variable has to be used:
|
|
|
|
alpine:~/finit# PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure \
|
|
--enable-embedded --enable-rw-rootfs --enable-inetd-echo-plugin \
|
|
--enable-inetd-chargen-plugin --enable-inetd-daytime-plugin \
|
|
--enable-inetd-discard-plugin --enable-inetd-time-plugin \
|
|
--with-heading="Alpine Linux 3.4" --with-hostname=alpine
|
|
|
|
The plugins are optional, but the other configure flags are *not*.
|
|
|
|
alpine:~/finit# make all install
|
|
|
|
The installation skips `/sbin/init`, because it already exists, and
|
|
Alpine is hard coded to use it. So you have to change the symlink
|
|
yourself to point to `finit` instead of `/bin/busybox`.
|
|
|
|
alpine:~/finit# cd /sbin
|
|
alpine:/sbin# rm init
|
|
alpine:/sbin# ln -s finit init
|
|
|
|
Before rebooting, make sure to set up a [/etc/finit.conf](finit.conf),
|
|
and possibly also an [/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot set up and
|
|
initialization like keyboard language etc. You can use the files in
|
|
this directory as templates -- check them both if they need to be
|
|
tweaked for your installation, you may not run Dropbear SSH or speak
|
|
Swedish ...
