docs: Add links to cmd description from cmd list

2025-08-03T08:53:20+00:00

In the generated `docs/busybox.pod` file, add a link for each command in the big command list that goes to that command's description, like a compact table of contents. This seems to only affect the generated HTML version of the usage page. To add `id` attributes to each usage section title, each command now uses `=head2` instead of `=item` for their section heading. To add links to each command in the list, the list was unindented so that it could use rich text, and each command was marked as code text (C<>) so they are styled in monospace. These changes mean that the HTML and mandoc command list will expand to fit the available width of the viewport, rather than wrapping at a fixed line-length. The plain text version retains its existing wrapping behavior. Because of the new code text formatting, `--quotes=none` was added to the pod2man and pod2text invocations in Makefile.custom to prevent the command list from quoting every single command.

build system: allow building with w64devkit

2022-10-30T08:25:45+00:00

Make some adjustments to the build system to allow busybox-w32 to be built with w64devkit: - Strip drive prefix from CURDIR in Makefile to avoid confusing make with colons. - Limit file redirection to a subshell in the usage_compressed and embedded_scripts scripts. Otherwise it isn't possible to move the open generated file on Windows. - Change the option tests in Kbuild.include to allow for /dev/null not existing on Windows. - Create host binaries without a '.exe' extension. Otherwise they're rebuilt more often than necessary. - Modify split-include.c to allow for Windows' popen() not expanding wildcards. (GitHub issue #239)

.gitignore: support building on Windows

2021-02-21T10:35:21+00:00

These items are already listed, albeit without `.exe` suffix. Presumably, this is because BusyBox-w32 is traditionally cross-compiled on Linux. However, we are about to introduce a CI build definition that builds BusyBox-w32 in MSYS2 (using mingw-w64-gcc), meaning that those executables might very well exist _with_ `.exe` suffix. Let's ignore those, too. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin

applet_tables: simulate force-renaming on Windows

2021-02-21T09:51:19+00:00

On Windows, you cannot `rename(source, target)` if `target` exists or if a file handle to `source` is still open. This patch is similar in spirit to 02958a6ee (kbuild: simulate force-renaming on Windows, 2017-02-01). Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin
