Building BSDBOX

balanga · Sep 11, 2023

I just heard mention of BSDBOX, which I believe is a FreeBSD equivalent of Linux busybox, so I thought I find out something about it, by trying to build it using

Code:

cd /usr/src/tools/bsdbox
make

This ended with:-

Code:

Any suggestions as to how to proceed?

Which version is that?

The invocation is already visible in that paste.

Same problem on main, adding the following to Makefile seems to help:

Code:

MK_PIE=        no
CRUNCH_BUILDOPTS+= MK_PIE=no

...though it fails anyway for me further down the build.

Not the linker invocation.

sysutils/toybox which I didn't take the time how to make these commands the default.

OK, let me rephrase that, all required information is available in that paste.

Holy cow, that project hasn't been touched since 2005! Was that one download this week you?

BSDBox - Browse /bsdbox at SourceForge.net

BSDBox is somewhat same as PicoBSD, but It fits on flash(e.g. CF card, USB stick, DOC/DOM chip, 8MB is enough), not on floppy.

What exactly is that? It differs slightly from what I have in my src .

It's from 13.2 src.txz.

How do I change this?

ld: error: -r and -pie may not be used together

I couldn't figure out how to build it, but managed to find a sourceforge site which host such a project.

The BSDBox Project

Download The BSDBox Project for free. I'm changing this to a Openbox setup. Will be making a FreeBSD base distro call BSDBox.

sourceforge.net

Will try installing it tomorrow.

I just noticed that this not the same link as mentioned above. ie....

That seems to be a project with a vastly different goal:
