Where are both the .tgz archive and a brief install howto?

gnexus,

Can you direct me how I can compile it for OS2008? and why did you didn't compiled the latest Busybox version?.

Regards,

Taguapire.

I thought I made that clear: It's not ready yet. . .

It's SVN . . . which is NEWER than the latest Busybox version.

Compilation instructions:
1)Download it.
2)Compile it.
3)Install it.
4)Run it.

Ok, it's a little more complicated than that, but not much. . .

Looks like everyone is getting impatient!
Sorry, the file's not posted yet. I'll try to get it done tomorrow and post a link.

hi gnexus: would you be willing to post your instructions and any scripts/files you used for your custom build? (when you are ready of course)

NO!

Terribly sorry. . .

The source is available from the debian repositories.


I've had a total change of attitude after seeing penguinbait's KDE. Since I'm mainly a KDE/RedHat/Fedora developer I've decided to hold back the code for use in an RPM to be published, possibly as part of a partial/full armel distro for the tablets using the new busybox, KDE, and other libraries. We'll see how that works out . . .

See thread:

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=13475

I may get around to posting the source eventually, after (if) the RPM / distro is released. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up. I'm certain there are others who can compile code and make a deb. . .

I feel bad about doing this and hope everyone understands. Busybox is the underlying foundation of the entire system and I don't have the time (and now I also don't have the inclination. . .) to make a deb and give people instructions and listen to them ***** about problems. So I'm going to leave it to someone else to develop it for Maemo.

Besides, it should have been done properly by Nokia in the first place.

Keep the thread. I'll package it (I don't know how long that will take but I'll take a quick look now).

The guy's all talk anyway: First criticizing Nokia for its unwillingness to show us the code. Then the crunch comes and we ask *him* to show us the code and guess what happens.
