<h3>External Tiny Utilities</h3>
|
|
|
|
This is a list of tiny utilities whose functionality is not provided by
|
|
busybox. If you have additional suggestions, please send an e-mail to our
|
|
dev mailing list.

|
|
<td><a href="http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/">Dropbear</a> has both an ssh server and an ssh client that together come in around 100k. It has no external
|
|
dependencies (I.E. it does not depend on OpenSSL, using a built-in copy of
|
|
LibTomCrypt instead). It's actively maintained, with a quiet but responsive
|
|
mailing list.</td>

<p>In a gui environment, you'll probably want a web browser.
|
|
<a href="http://www.konqueror.org/embedded/">Konqueror Embedded</a> requires QT
|
|
(or QT Embedded), but not KDE. The <a href="http://www.dillo.org/">Dillo</a>
|
|
requires GTK+, but not Gnome. Or you can try the <a href="http://links.twibright.com/">graphical
|
|
version of links</a>.</p>

<h3>SCRIPTING LANGUAGES</h3>
|
|
<p>Although busybox has built-in support for shell scripts, plenty of other
|
|
small scripting languages are available on the net. A few examples:</p>

|
|
<td> A small standalone perl interpreter that can be built from the perl source
|
|
s via "make -f Makefile.micro". If you really feel the need for perl on an embe
|
|
dded system, this is where to start.

<td>If you just want a small embedded scripting language to write <em>new</en>
|
|
code in, this Brazilian import is lightweight, fairly popular, and has
|
|
a complete book about it online.</td>

<tr>

<td><a href=http://www.forth.org>forth</a></td>

|
|
<a href=http://buildroot.uclibc.org>buildroot</a> and
|
|
<a href=http://gentoo-wiki.com/TinyGentoo>TinyGentoo</a>, which

|
build and use tiny utilities for all sorts of things.</p>
