1 ubase - suckless linux base utils 2 ================================= 3 4 ubase is a collection of tools similar in spirit to util-linux but 5 much simpler. 6 7 The complement of ubase is sbase[1] which mostly follows POSIX and 8 provides all the portable tools. Together they are intended to form a 9 base system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless. 10 11 Building 12 -------- 13 14 To build ubase, simply type make. You may have to fiddle with 15 config.mk and config.h depending on your system. 16 17 You can also build ubase-box, which generates a single binary 18 containing all the required tools. You can then symlink the 19 individual tools to ubase-box or run: make ubase-box-install. 20 21 To run the tools for ubase-box directly use: ubase-box cmd [args] 22 23 Ideally you will want to statically link ubase. We highly recommend 24 using musl-libc[2]. 25 26 ubase is known to compile with gcc, clang and tcc. 27 28 [1] http://git.suckless.org/sbase/ 29 [2] http://www.musl-libc.org/
