      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.
