Busybox make config - anything specific?

(1/1)

PDP-8:
Got a little more interested in Busybox, and have compiled it on a few random boxes other than TC or PiCore.

Before I go about mucking with TC / PiCore build of busybox, are there any show-stopper or other features that I should *definitely* use or avoid in regards to TC?  I don't want to just break it outright.

Other than hardware issues, are TC's and PiCore's busybox options nearly the same, or do the devs (awesome I might add!) have differing setups?  Guess I'd have to diff the make config files...

I'm just wondering how busybox is compiled.  Size or speed option?  Backward compatible options, or a spartan / classic set of flags...

I'm not a luddite, but my goal here is not just to be small, but to simulate a "classic / old-school" set of options that might make Rob Pike or Doug Macilroy happy. :)

Maybe that is a matter of taste and subject for it's own thread....

Yes. Take a look at  /etc/init.d/tc-functions. There is a function called  useBusybox  that specifically aliases certain commands
to the  busybox  versions. Also,  /etc/init.d/tc-config  calls for  busybox ash  in the she-bang.

Thanks guys - that's just what I needed!
