[Buildroot] Busybox minicom-like application?

[Buildroot] Busybox minicom-like application?

[Jorge S.]

Hi all:

 I'm building my rootfs and i need a minicom-like application, googling
around i've found that "microcom" is what i need.

My problem comes when trying to "select" microcom on the buildroot menu, it
is hidden if i select the "[*] Hide applications that are provided by
busybox " option, so i assume busybox is providing some "microcom/minicom"
like command.

Just made a "make busybox-menuconfig" and i'm unable to find any option for
a minicom/microcom similar program.
I'm using the default (package/busybox/busybox-1.6.0.config ) busybox
config.

Any ideas on how to enable/install this application?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, i know its there, but it gets HIDDEN when i select the "[*] Hide
applications that are provided by busybox".

Maybe there's a buildroot bug here?

[Buildroot] Busybox minicom-like application?

[Ivan Kuten]

Package Selection for the target  ---> Networking --> microcom

Microcom is not a part of busybox.

Indeed,

see Config.in

if !BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_HIDE_OTHERS
source "package/microcom/Config.in"
endif

see a typo.

busybox in SVN does have a microcom applet, as of four weeks ago. The
latest change to package/Config.in takes that into account.

I do not think that is a good idea to hide it until
it is in the mainstream busybox.

OK,

I will "unhide" it, and if microcom applet will be in busybox mainline then hide again.

I suggest that it is hidden, if the snapshot is used.
Otherwise visible.
