Toybox: all-in-one Linux command line. | ||
|
||
--- Building Toybox | ||
|
||
Type "make help" for build instructions. | ||
|
||
Mostly you want: | ||
|
||
CFLAGS="--static" CROSS_COMPILE=armv5l- make defconfig toybox install | ||
|
||
Or "make menuconfig", which produces the same sort of .config file as the | ||
Linux kernel. | ||
|
||
--- Using toybox | ||
|
||
The build produces a "swiss-army-knife" style multifunction binary, which acts | ||
differently depending on the name it was called as (cp, mv, cat...), and | ||
installs symlinks under each command name to populate $PATH. | ||
|
||
The "toybox" command itself uses its first argument as the command name to run | ||
(ala "toybox ls -l"). With no arguments, it lists available commands. (This | ||
allows you to use the commands even without the symlinks.) | ||
|
||
The "help" command provides information about each command (ala "help cat"). | ||
|
||
The toybox web page is at "http://landley.net/toybox". | ||
|
||
Have fun, | ||
|
