Sure I'm not the first one doing this. Cygwin has a _full_ POSIX compatibility layer. I suspect few programs wouldn't build/run on Cygwin. My target is different. I don't want POSIX simulation. I want a small tool (preferably single executable) to carry around, that gives me frequently used tools. > regarding your regex problem there is libregex: > http://de.sourceforge.jp/projects/sfnet_mingw/downloads/MSYS > regex/regex-0.12-1/libregex-0.12-1-msys-1.0.11-dll-0.tar.lzma/ > > ntl i would stay away from ash in the first run and see what other problems > may show up with the already ported utilities. MSYS is a variant of Cygwin. I haven't looked at that regex library, but if it requires MSYS, then I need to carry msys1.dll with busybox.exe, not cool. -- Duy _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
