1 Multi-binary compilation
2 ========================
3 
4 To compile for systems without much space (floppy distributions etc), you
5 can create a single binary. This will save disk space by avoiding repeated
6 code between the various parts.
7 If you are familiar with "busybox", it's the same principle.
8 
9 To compile the multi-binary, first "make clean" (if you've compiled
10 previously), then
11 
12 make PROGRAMS="programs you want here" MULTI=1
13 
14 To use the binary, symlink it from the desired executable:
15 
16 ln -s dropbearmulti dropbear
17 ln -s dropbearmulti dbclient
18 etc
19 
20 then execute as normal:
21 
22 ./dropbear <options here>
23 
24 "make install" doesn't currently work for multi-binary configuration, though
25 in most situations where it is being used, the target and build systems will
26 differ.
