Busybox is configured similarly to the linux kernel. Create a default configuration and then run "make menuconfig" to modify it. The end result is a .config file that tells the busybox build process what features to include. So instead of "./configure; make; make install" the equivalent busybox build would be "make defconfig; make; make install". Busybox configured with all features enabled is a little under a megabyte dynamically linked on x86.

You configure each section (numbered 1-10) by pointing DSpy to the proper directory on your network. By putting a shortcut to DSpy in your startup folder, it will start with your TSC client during every boot/login and automatically start tracking your TSC progress. See similar questions...

Busybox aims to be the smallest and simplest correct implementation of the standard Linux command line tools. First and foremost, this means the smallest executable size we can manage. We also want to have the simplest and cleanest implementation we can manage, be standards compliant, minimize run-time memory usage (heap and stack), run fast, and take over the world.

Busybox is like a swiss army knife: one thing with many functions. The busybox executable can act like many different programs depending on the name used to invoke it. Normal practice is to create a bunch of symlinks pointing to the busybox binary, each of which triggers a different busybox function. (See getting started in the FAQ for more information on usage, and the busybox documentation for a list of symlink names and what they do. See similar questions...

The following login accounts currently exist on busybox.net. (I.E. these people can commit patches into subversion for the BusyBox, uClibc, and buildroot projects.) aldot :Bernhard Fischer andersen :Erik Andersen - uClibc and BuildRoot maintainer. See similar questions...

If you just want to try out busybox without installing it, download the tarball, extract it, run "make defconfig", and then run "make". This will create a busybox binary with almost all features enabled. To try out a busybox applet, type "./busybox [appletname] [options]", for example "./busybox ls -l" or "./busybox cat LICENSE". Type "./busybox" to see a command list, and "busybox appletname --help" to see a brief usage message for a given applet. See similar questions...

CROSS_COMPILE specifies the prefix used for all executables used during compilation. Only gcc and related binutils executables are prefixed with $(CROSS_COMPILE) in the makefiles. CROSS_COMPILE can be set on the command line: make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi- Alternatively CROSS_COMPILE can be set in the environment. Default value for CROSS_COMPILE is not to prefix executables. See similar questions...

BusyBox is a package that replaces a dozen standard packages, but it is not by itself a complete bootable system. Building an entire Linux distribution from source is a bit beyond the scope of this FAQ, but it understandably keeps cropping up on the mailing list, so here are some pointers. Start by learning how to strip a working system down to the bare essentials needed to run one or two commands, so you know what it is you actually need. See similar questions...

BusyBox in general will build on any architecture supported by gcc. Kernel module loading for 2.4 Linux kernels is currently limited to ARM, CRIS, H8/300, x86, ia64, x86_64, m68k, MIPS, PowerPC, S390, SH3/4/5, Sparc, v850e, and x86_64 for 2.4.x kernels. See similar questions...

Yes. As long as you fully comply with the generous terms of the GPL BusyBox license you can ship BusyBox as part of the software on your device. See similar questions...

If you find that you need help with BusyBox, you can ask for help on the BusyBox mailing list at busybox@busybox.net. In addition to the mailing list, Erik Andersen (andersee), Manuel Nova (mjn3), Rob Landley (landley), Mike Frysinger (SpanKY), Bernhard Fischer (blindvt), and other long-time BusyBox developers are known to hang out on the uClibc IRC channel: #uclibc on irc.freenode.net. There is a web archive of daily logs of the #uclibc IRC channel going back to 2002. See similar questions...

If you simply need help with using or configuring BusyBox, please submit a detailed description of your problem to the BusyBox mailing list at busybox@busybox.net. Please do not send email to individual developers asking for private help unless you are planning on paying for consulting services. When we answer questions on the BusyBox mailing list, it helps everyone, while private answers help only you.. See similar questions...

Busybox has nothing to do with the timezone. Please consult your libc documentation. (http://google.com/search?q=uclibc+glibc+timezone). See similar questions...

To conserve bytes it's good to know where they're being used, and the size of the final executable isn't always a reliable indicator of the size of the components (since various structures are rounded up, so a small change may not even be visible by itself, but many small savings add up). The busybox Makefile builds two versions of busybox, one of which (busybox_unstripped) has extra information that various analysis tools can use. See similar questions...

The standard we're paying attention to is the "Shell and Utilities" portion of the Open Group Base Standards (also known as the Single Unix Specification version 3 or SUSv3). Note that paying attention isn't necessarily the same thing as following it. SUSv3 doesn't even mention things like init, mount, tar, or losetup, nor commonly used options like echo's '-e' and '-n', or sed's '-i'. See similar questions...

Tfollowing are the critical configuration lines in your pinerc file. The folder collection syntax is specific to the version of IMAP that is running on SC - and would be unlikely to be guessed by a casual user. This info came from http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/imap/isps/ Getting Eudora to read SpamCop mail using IMAP is straightforward. Adding Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption requires additional steps. The first step is to create a "personality" for SpamCop email. See similar questions...

To configure the Outlook plugin, you should choose SpamBayes Manager from the SpamBayes button on the SpamBayes toolbar. If you use the POP3 proxy or IMAP filter, then simply open a browser window to http://localhost:8880, click on the configuration link on the top right of the page that opens up, and fill in the details. With the POP3 proxy, when you need to select local port numbers to proxy on, if you are only proxying one server, then try 110 first. See similar questions...

DenyHosts uses a simple configuration file. An example, denyhosts.cfg-dist is supplied in the distribution. This file should be copied to denyhosts.cfg and edited to match your system configuration. See similar questions...
