12The Makefile contains three of the compile time options:
13
Russ Dill4e864a32003-12-18 22:25:38 +000014 UDHCP_DEBUG: If UDHCP_DEBUG is defined, udhcpd will output extra
15 debugging output, compile with -g, and not fork to the background when
16 run.
17 UDHCP_SYSLOG: If UDHCP_SYSLOG is defined, udhcpd will log all its
18 messages syslog, otherwise, it will attempt to log them to stdout.
Russ Dill61fb4892002-10-14 21:41:28 +000019
20 COMBINED_BINARY: If COMBINED_BINARY is define, one binary, udhcpd,
21 is created. If called as udhcpd, the dhcp server will be started.
22 If called as udhcpc, the dhcp client will be started.
23
Russ Dill4e864a32003-12-18 22:25:38 +000024dhcpd.h contains the other three compile time options:

Russ Dill61fb4892002-10-14 21:41:28 +000043busybox drop-in
44--------------
45udhcp is now a drop-in component for busybox (http://busybox.net).
46To update busybox to the latest revision, simply do a:

51The only two files udhcp does not provide are config.in and
52Makefile.in, so these may need to be updated from time to time.
