# Minimal C Development Environment

## Why?

I don't have any particular reason not to have a working C compiler everywhere
you go.

## Components

- [busybox](busybox.net)
- [musl](musl.libc.org) (static build)
- [tcc](https://bellard.org/tcc/)
- [qemacs](https://github.com/qemacs/qemacs)

The resulting directory is ~8.5 MiB.

## Usage

Can be used in limited environments when you need some quick and dirty in-place
development. I keep it inside my initramfs just in case.

### TCC usage in the environment

The script only builds static version of `musl` so the only working binaries
will be static unless you provide your own Libc.

### Adding as initramfs

My `/usr/src/linux/.config` file contains the line
```
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/usr/src/initramfs/base /usr/src/initramfs/list"
```

In this case the `base` is the resulting directory of the build, and the `list`
file contains some additional tools from my host system I need inside initramfs
(like `lvm`).
