I'm building an embedded system based on debian 7, and I'd like to make the most out of busybox that comes with debian. The problem is default busybox build in debian seems quite minimal, for example it does not even include passwd.On the other hand I don't want to build busybox from busybox.net sources for stability and update issues.So how can I build and install a bigger busybox from debian source package?
How to custom build debian's busybox?
debian;apt;embedded;dpkg;busybox
If you need a .deb customized on the flymkdir /tmp/bbcd /tmp/bbapt-get source busyboxsudo apt-get build-dep busyboxcd busybox-1.20.0/fakeroot debian/rules buildmake -C debian/build/deb/ menuconfig# enable passwdfakeroot debian/rules binarybut probably the best would be to add a custom package inside debian/control and the relative config under debian/config/pkg/(I'm not using Debian 7 but guess it is similar)editYou can use fakeroot debian/rules debian/build/deb/.built and fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch_busybox to build the deb target only
