mkroot - undefined reference to `crypt' about toybox HOT 7 OPEN

i think if you add xcrypt to this line in scripts/make.sh, it should work for you?

  for i in util crypt m resolv selinux smack attr crypto z log iconv tls ssl

(i don't think we can remove crypt without breaking older versions of glibc, and i don't know whether this is something we could check in, because i think there will be systems with both, and you don't want both? though maybe there aren't realistic systems that don't have xcrypt, so replacing crypt with xcrypt would actually be fine in practice? my [vague] understanding of what glibc has done here. i'm assuming musl already had this just in libc.so?)

from toybox.

My plan is to have my own crypt() in lib/ using the existing internal md5sum and sha1sum code and adding other has functions as needed. I'm slowly shoveling out this area, commit 20eb458 last night was a step in that direction. Won't be this coming release (which is already 2 days overdue), but I'm aiming at the release after that.

i think this is probably a dupe of #450 --- i'm guessing you have a glibc new enough to have removed crypt()? ldd --version will tell you your glibc version if you're not sure.

ldd (GNU libc) 2.38 yup your on the money ok let me read #450 then I will close this thanks

"if you build against glibc 2.38 or later, dont declare crypt but rather include crypt.h and link against libxcrypt with -lcrypt."

I'm not clear on how to do this? I know have libxcrypt installed going through toybox docs now

OK so i updated the script to for i in util crypt m resolv selinux smack attr crypto z log iconv tls ssl xcrypt
same build error then I tried for i in util xcrypt m resolv selinux smack attr crypto z log iconv tls ssl
still the same error . I used sudo find / -name "libcrypt*" the output is below

Hmm... this is archlinux? Maybe you can try to build against musl if you have it / know how to (I don't, on Arch Linux). Musl doesn't suffer from #450.
