replying to a thread of a couple of weeks ago...
I managed to build a reasonable subset of busybox (1.11.1)
on FreeBSD, you can find patches at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/#busybox-port
The linux-specific things (e.g. those relying on /proc or system
APIs that we don't have) clearly do not work, and I did not bother
trying to implement replacement for them.
But many userland commands do work and maybe they are useful to
have around in a small system.
A sample of the file sizes (the 'dec' column from the 'size' command):
37136 work/busybox-1.11.1/shell/ash.o
18492 work/busybox-1.11.1/libbb/appletlib.o
18258 work/busybox-1.11.1/editors/vi.o
17995 work/busybox-1.11.1/editors/awk.o
9878 work/busybox-1.11.1/networking/httpd.o
9289 work/busybox-1.11.1/archival/bzip2.o
7609 work/busybox-1.11.1/editors/diff.o
6378 work/busybox-1.11.1/miscutils/less.o
6258 work/busybox-1.11.1/editors/sed.o
6170 work/busybox-1.11.1/archival/gzip.o
5367 work/busybox-1.11.1/editors/ed.o
5317 work/busybox-1.11.1/archival/libunarchive/decompress_unzip.o
5132 work/busybox-1.11.1/networking/wget.o
4485 work/busybox-1.11.1/networking/traceroute.o
4277 work/busybox-1.11.1/libbb/dump.o
...
overall, the binary in this configuration is around 330kb.
cheers
luigi
