If Windows programs don't run from the shell it's worth trying it. - If you want to install 32-bit BusyBox in a system directory on a 64-bit version of Windows you should put it in `C:\Windows\SysWOW64`, not `C:\Windows\System32` as you might expect. On 64-bit systems the latter is for 64-bit binaries. - The system tries to detect the best way to handle the terminal being used. If this doesn't work you can try setting the environment variable `BB_TERMINAL_MODE=1` to force the use of literal ANSI escapes or `BB_TERMINAL_MODE=0` to emulate them using the Windows console API. - busybox-w32 prefers built-in applets to external programs when running commands. This preference can be overridden by setting the environment variable `BB_OVERRIDE_APPLETS` to a space-separated list of applet names. Thus, to use an external `make` in preference to the built-in applet set `BB_OVERRIDE_APPLETS="make"`. -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g6feb
