Title: busybox-httpd is ancient
Post by: bela.d on April 21, 2020, 09:40:49 AM

Hi all,

The busybox-httpd TCZ is quite old. Is there a reason for this?

I tried to compile the latest version (with the script from the repo) but it fails even if I load libmcrypt-dev...

Any advice?

Sure - a couple of ways ..

Get the latest busybox source, or download the appropriate binary from the project site, and put this secondary busybox in one of your usr directories.  Make the appropriate softlinks for httpd, or call it up in your scripts with the full pathname ....  perhaps to keep it straight, rename the executable My_Busybox or something like that.

A couple of commands not normally compiled into Tinycore itself is covered like that way for me.  Like the ed editor. :)  And a few other things.

But now my TC is bloated with the additional busybox. :)
