generate the qw(man html txt) documentation every time I ran make. Unfortunately, "make docs" never amounts to anything, because make sees the docs/ directory and thinks, "oh, I don't have to do any work". Maybe the target should be "doc" to make it different from "docs"?
Please see the LICENSE file for copyright information. 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 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`/_install unless you have defined the PREFIX environment variable (i.e. make PREFIX="/tmp/foo" install) Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to: Erik Andersen <andersen@lineo.com> <andersee@debian.org> <blatent plug> Many thanks to go to Lineo for paying me to work on busybox. </blatent plug>
