Re: Static device files instead of udev

Hi,

I am building my target right now.
It is based on the 'embedded' and 'Dreamcast' targets,
but I am using glibc instead of uClibc.

I am using the 'build_image.sh' script (called from 'build.sh')
from these targets to build a simplified root filesystem inside
the 'build/../TOOLCHAIN/rootfs' directory.
This root filesystem will be later copied to a compact
flash and the boot loader will be installed.

I think the easiest way will be to run the MAKEDEV program
from inside my 'build_image.sh' script to create
the device files in the roofs directory.

Regards,
Claudio
