BusyBox ?

BusyBox ?

[nicolas]

Hello all !

Is there something special to do to build BusyBox with musl ?
Should i build busybox statically or not ?

I saw on the musl website that some Busybox's applets don't work with
musl, which ones ?

Thanks for your answers,

Cheers,
Nick

Hi

I made an AUR for BusyBox built statically against musl and did not
experience any problems back then.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50309

check out the config attached to that build. It might give an
indication if the things you want are possible to build.

Thanks !

Is this patch always necessary ?
https://github.com/chneukirchen/sabotage/blob/master/KEEP/busybox.patch
If yes, should we contact the BusyBox project to say them to add the : #if
defined(__musl__) ?

I have to test that...
I'll keep you informed.

Cheers,
Nick

Many of these issues have since been fixed or at least changed in
upstream BusyBox. Hopefully fewer changes are needed now...

No, because __musl__ is not defined by musl; it's something added by
Sabotage. The right fix is to find out whether it's musl or BusyBox
doing things wrong and fix one or the other so that things work
without ugly special-casing.
