An easy method to build your own basic BusyBox based system, is to
|
||||||
|
follow these simple steps:
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li> Point your web browser <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">here</a>
|
||||||
|
<li> Click on "Download tarball"
|
||||||
|
<li> Unpack the tarball on your Linux system somewhere
|
||||||
|
<li> run 'make' and configure things to taste.
|
||||||
|
<li> run 'unset CC'. Some Linux systems (i.e. Gentoo) set 'CC'
|
||||||
|
in the system environment which messes up cross compiles.
|
||||||
|
<li> run 'make'
|
||||||
|
<li> go have lunch, drink a pop, call a friend, play a video game, etc
|
||||||
|
till it finishes downloading software and compiling things.
|
||||||
|
<li> You should now have a shiny new BusyBox based system.
|
||||||
|

When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or
|
||||||
|
software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox.
|
||||||
|
With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and
|
||||||
|
who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices
|
||||||
|
is looking very bright.

Here goes release candidate 3...

<p>
|

The <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all the details.
|
|

And as usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.
|
It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every
|
||||||
|
device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date.
|
||||||
|
The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous
|
||||||
|
improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux
|
||||||
|
KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel),
|
||||||
|
Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development
|
||||||
|
work and testing of thousands of people from around the world.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
|
||||||
|
BusyBox 1.00. If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device
|
||||||
|
or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is
|
||||||
|
right for your application. If you need help getting started using
|
||||||
|
BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug
|
||||||
|
and need help reporting it, you are invited to visit the <a

<p>

I <b>really</b> want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released soon and I see no real
|
|
||||||
reason why the 1.0.0 release shouldn't happen with things pretty much as
|
|
||||||
is. BusyBox is in good shape at the moment, and it works nicely for
|
|
||||||
everything that I'm doing with it. And from the reports I've been getting,
|
|
||||||
it works nicely for what most everyone else is doing with it as well.
|
|
||||||
There will eventually be a 1.0.1 anyway, so we might as well get on with
|
|
||||||
it. No, BusyBox is not perfect. No piece of software ever is. And while
|
|
||||||
there is still plenty that can be done to improve things, most of that work
|
|
||||||
is waiting till we can get a solid 1.0.0 release out the door....

On a less happy note, My 92 year old grandmother (my dad's mom) passed away
|
|
||||||
yesterday (June 19th). The funeral will be Thursday in a little town about
|
|
||||||
2 hours south of my home. I've checked and there is absolutely no way I
|
|
||||||
could be back in time for the funeral if I attend <a
|

||||||

||||||
as scheduled.
|
|

<p>
|
|

As such, it is with great reluctance and sadness that I have come

to the conclusion I will have to make my appologies and skip OLS
|

this year.

|

|
|

|
Here goes release candidate 1... This fixes all (most?) of the problems
|
||||||
|
that have turned up since -pre10. In particular, loading and unloading of

|
kernel modules with 2.6.x kernels should be working much better.

I <b>really</b> want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released soon and I see no real
|
||||||
|
reason why the 1.0.0 release shouldn't happen with things pretty much as
|
||||||
|
is. BusyBox is in good shape at the moment, and it works nicely for
|
||||||
|
everything that I'm doing with it. And from the reports I've been getting,
|
||||||
|
it works nicely for what most everyone else is doing with it as well.
|
||||||
|
There will eventually be a 1.0.1 anyway, so we might as well get on with
|
||||||
|
it. No, BusyBox is not perfect. No piece of software ever is. And while
|
||||||
|
there is still plenty that can be done to improve things, most of that work
|
||||||
|
is waiting till we can get a solid 1.0.0 release out the door....
|
||||||

<p>
|

|
|

Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at this
|
||||||
|
time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. If you have submitted a
|
||||||
|
bug-fixing patch to the busybox mailing list and no one has emailed you
|
||||||
|
explaining why your patch was rejected, it is safe to say that your patch
|
||||||
|
has been lost or forgotten. That happens sometimes. Please re-submit your
|
||||||
|
bug-fixing patch to the BusyBox mailing list, and be sure to put "[PATCH]"
|
||||||
|
at the beginning of the email subject line!

On a less happy note, My 92 year old grandmother (my dad's mom) passed away
|
||||||
|
yesterday (June 19th). The funeral will be Thursday in a little town about
|
||||||
|
2 hours south of my home. I've checked and there is absolutely no way I
|
||||||
|
could be back in time for the funeral if I attend <a
|
||||||
|
href="http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2004/">OLS</a> and give my presentation
|
||||||
|
as scheduled.
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
As such, it is with great reluctance and sadness that I have come
|
||||||
|
to the conclusion I will have to make my appologies and skip OLS
|
||||||
|
this year.

|

Ok, I lied. It turns out that -pre9 will not be the final BusyBox
|
||||||
|
pre-release. With any luck however -pre10 will be, since I <b>really</b>
|
||||||
|
want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released very soon. As usual, please do not
|
||||||
|
bother to send in patches adding cool new features at this time. Only
|
||||||

bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be <b>very</b> helpful if

people could continue to review the BusyBox documentation and submit

improvements.

<li><b>6 April 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre9 released</b><p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here goes the final BusyBox pre-release... This is your last chance for
|
||||||
|
bug fixes. With luck this will be released as BusyBox 1.0.0 later this
|
||||||
|
week. Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at
|
||||||
|
this time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be
|
||||||
|
<b>very</b> helpful if people could help review the BusyBox documentation
|
||||||
|
and submit improvements. I've spent a lot of time updating the
|
||||||
|
documentation to make it better match reality, but I could really use some
|
||||||
|
assistance in checking that the features supported by the various applets
|
||||||
|
match the features listed in the documentation.

Here goes yet another BusyBox pre-release... Please do not bother to send
|
||||||
|
in patches supplying new features at this time. Only bug-fix patches will
|
||||||
|
be accepted. If you have a cool new feature you would like to see
|
||||||
|
supported, or if you have an amazing new applet you would like to submit,
|
||||||
|
please wait and submit such things later. We really want to get a release
|
||||||
|
out we can all be proud of. We are still aiming to finish off the -pre
|
||||||
|
series in February and move on to the final 1.0.0 release... So if you
|
||||||
|
spot any bugs, now would be an excellent time to send in a fix to the

|
busybox mailing list. It would also be <b>very</b> helpful if people could
