BusyBox is a suite of "tiny" Unix utilities in a multi-call binary. It
|
|
provides a pretty complete POSIX environment in a very small package.
|
|
Just add a kernel, "ash" (Keith Almquists tiny Bourne shell clone), and
|
|
an editor such as "elvis-tiny" or "ae", and you have a working system.
|
|
Busybox was begun to support the Debian Rescue/Install disks, but it
|
|
also makes an excellent environment for any small or embedded system.
|
|
|
|
As of version 0.20 there is a version number. : ) Also as of version
|
|
0.20, BB is now modularized to easily allow you to build of only the
|
|
BB parts you need, thereby reducing binary size. To turn off unwanted
|
|
Busybox components, simply edit the file busybox.def.h and comment out
|
|
the parts you do not need using C++ style (//) comments.
|
|
|
|
After the build is complete a busybox.links file is generated which is
|
|
then used by 'make install' to create symlinks to the busybox binary
|
|
for all compiled in functions. By default, 'make install' will place
|
|
the symlink forest into `pwd`/busybox_install unless you have defined
|
|
the PREFIX environment variable.
