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.

Package Selection for the target ---> Networking --> microcom
Microcom is not a part of busybox.

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?

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.
