 Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2018 10:25 am Post subject: busybox - missing static links ? |
 |
|
Hello,
I am trying to use busybox commands, but it seems that there are missing static links from commands to busybox binary:
For example, on trying tunctl, I get "command not found error".
Doing the same with "busybox tunctl" is OK.
How should I fix this issue?
Thanks,
ranran |

| Did you emerge busybox with USE flag 'make-symlinks'? |

ranran ... I don't think you actually want to "fix" this, if you create symlinks (ie, via USE="make-symlinks", or by running 'busybox --install') then you will overwrite package installed binaries (all those listed in 'busybox --list'). If you do this then somethings will break, ie, see this thread.

Thanks for the comments !
So if I understand correctly, the advise it to continue using "bysbox <command> ..." syntax ?
The issue is that I have scripts which try to call the commands directly (without the busybox prefix)
Thanks,

Try:
or, in short:
You can run your script with:
| Code: | | bb <name of script> |
Another way would be to change the first line of your script to:
If you do that, you will be able to start your script from a bash shell prompt or via click or double-click from a file manager - and it will use bb to execute the commands in your script. |

| In what context are these scripts executed? Why are you trying to use the busybox builtin commands instead of the full-featured counterparts provided through their respective packages? |

tunctl is installed on one of my machines - so I executed 'qfile tunctl' to get the package.
But the answer you probably wanted to get is this page: http://www.portagefilelist.de/site/query/file/?do#result. Just enter 'tunctl' (or any other filename) and it will show you the package.
ranran, this thread is a perfect example of the X-Y problem. You asked several questions, but you didn't tell us the problem you really wanted to solve. Next time, please try to tell us X - not Y. This will make it much easier to help you and you will receive an answer more quickly. |
