%general-entities; ]> Busybox-&busybox-version; Busybox <para>BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.</para> </sect2> <sect2 role="installation"> <title>Installation of Busybox The follow patches fixes some issues that are related to the headers we are using. To correct this issues apply the following patch: patch -Np1 -i ../&busybox-fixes-patch; Create default configuration: make defconfig Below we are just telling Busybox to use the default configuration of uClibc. For those for more adventureous, you can use make menuconfig, and do a more custom build of your Busybox. We will need to edit the configuration file, to make sure everything gets compiled and put into it's proper locations: cp .config .config.orig sed -e "s:# USING_CROSS_COMPILER.*:USING_CROSS_COMPILER=y:" \ -e "/^CROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX/s:=.*:=\"${CLFS_TARGET}-\":" \ .config.orig > .config Compile the package: make CROSS="${CLFS_TARGET}-" PREFIX="${CLFS}" EXTRA_CFLAGS="${BUILD}" busybox Install the package: make PREFIX="${CLFS}" install If your going to build your kernel with modules, you will need to make sure depmod.pl is available: cp examples/depmod.pl ${CLFS}/cross-tools/bin chmod 755 ${CLFS}/cross-tools/bin/depmod.pl Contents of Busybox Installed programs To be Written
