										 |  |  | sbase - suckless unix tools | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | =========================== | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | sbase  is a  collection of  unix  tools that  are inherently  portable | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | across UNIX and UNIX-like systems. |

										 |  |  | The  complement of  sbase  is  ubase[1] which  is  Linux-specific  and | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2014-02-12 14:34:09 +00:00
										 |  |  | provides all  the non-portable tools.   Together they are  intended to | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | form a base system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless. |

										 |  |  | You need GNU make to build sbase on OpenBSD. |

										 |  |  | 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 14:34:09 +00:00
										 |  |  | Various combinations of operating  systems and architectures have also | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | been built. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | You can build sbase with gcc, clang, tcc, nwcc and pcc. |
