make PROGRAMS="dropbear dropbearkey dbclient scp"

2b)Install

make PROGRAMS="dropbear dropbearkey dbclient scp" install

2c)Generate DSS and RSA keys.

dropbearkey -type rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key dropbearkey -type dss -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key

2d)Install Dropbear init scripts from BLFS bootscripts

make install-dropbear

3) If only client programs are needed:

3a)Compile

3b)Install

make PROGRAMS="dbclient scp" install

And that's it.
