%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 First ensure the BusyBox source is completely clean: make distclean We tell BusyBox to use the generic defconfig. For those for more adventurous, you can use make menuconfig, and create a custom or modified configuration for your build. The following tells BusyBox to use the default configuration: make ARCH="${CLFS_ARCH}" defconfig Disable building both ifplugd and inetd as they both have issues building against musl: sed -i 's/$CONFIG_$$.*$$INETD$$.*$=y/# \1\2\3\4 is not set/g' .config sed -i 's/$CONFIG_IFPLUGD$=y/# \1 is not set/' .config Disable the use of utmp/wtmp as musl does not support them: sed -i 's/$CONFIG_FEATURE_WTMP$=y/# \1 is not set/' .config sed -i 's/$CONFIG_FEATURE_UTMP$=y/# \1 is not set/' .config Disable the use of ipsvd for both TCP and UDP as it has issues building against musl (similar to inetd's issues): sed -i 's/$CONFIG_UDPSVD$=y/# \1 is not set/' .config sed -i 's/$CONFIG_TCPSVD$=y/# \1 is not set/' .config Compile the package: make ARCH="${CLFS_ARCH}" CROSS_COMPILE="${CLFS_TARGET}-" Install the package: make ARCH="${CLFS_ARCH}" CROSS_COMPILE="${CLFS_TARGET}-"\ CONFIG_PREFIX="${CLFS}/targetfs" install If you're 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
