sbase - suckless unix tools
|
|
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sbase is a collection of unix tools that are inherently portable
|
|
|
|
across UNIX and UNIX-like systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following programs are currently implemented:

sbase is mostly following POSIX but we deviate wherever we think it is
|
|
|
|
appropriate.

|
The complement of sbase is ubase[1] which is Linux-specific and
|
2014-02-12 09:34:09 -05:00
|
|
|
provides all the non-portable tools. Together they are intended to
|
|
|
|
form a base system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build sbase, simply type make. You may have to fiddle with
|
|
|
|
config.mk depending on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also build sbase-box, which generates a single binary
|
|
|
|
containing all the required tools. You can then symlink the
|
|
|
|
individual tools to sbase-box.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ideally you will want to statically link sbase. If you are on Linux
|
|
|
|
we recommend using musl-libc[2].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Portability
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sbase has been compiled on a variety of different operating systems,
|
|
|
|
including Linux, *BSD, OSX, Haiku, Solaris, SCO OpenServer and others.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
sbase also compiles and runs on minix3 with slight modifications.
|
|
|
|
They do not provide mmap()/munmap() so you need to use minix_mmap()
|
|
|
|
and minix_munmap() respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
2014-02-12 09:34:09 -05:00
|
|
|
Various combinations of operating systems and architectures have also
|
|
|
|
been built.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can build sbase with gcc, clang, tcc, nwcc and pcc.
