[ptxdist] How to add one binary from coreutils?

[ptxdist] How to add one binary from coreutils?

[Matt]

So now that I've successfully rebuilt my old project I'm ready to start
adding new features to it. One of the required features is the shred
command. Upon looking at some of our previous examples, I can see how to
setup a make file to build a source and then copy files into the target.
However, those are all from sources that contain only the binary we are
looking for.

My question is, how do we install shred? It's part of coreutils so is it a
matter of creating a host package for coreutils and then a file package for
shred that depends on coreutils or do I create a target package for shred
and just copy over just shred after building all of coreutils? Or is this
similar to wget where I somehow select to use the busybox version of shred
(if that exists.)

'shred' command for your target?

I'm not sure what you really need (sorry, I don't understand your explanation).

When 'shred' is required for your target:

Run "ptxdist menuconfig"
  Shell & Console Tools           --->
          <*> coreutils                       --->
                [*] shred

and you are done after running "ptxdist go" again.

Regards,
Juergen

Jürgen, thanks, I had no idea it was built in. I removed my custom one and
just used the built in coreutils option and it worked.

Try "ptxdist menuconfig", hit the '/' key and enter the new command you are 
searching for. If it is already present in the menu, the result will show you 
where.
