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
+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 or run: make sbase-box-install
+
+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.
+
+Various combinations of operating systems and architectures have also
+been built.
+
+You can build sbase with gcc, clang, tcc, nwcc and pcc.
