This is getting very messy. Since 'find' is one of the tools provided
by busybox it appears that this is another significant breakage in
what TS are still providing as supplied software.
Worse , if anyone is daft enough to buy the "development kit" they
actually pay money for this broken unmaintained release.
I really should not need to set up a complete cross-compiler
development system to replace what should be provided in a working
state.
One of the main reasons I chose a TS product was it was claimed to
have a working mini linux out of the box and a full debian image
suitable for installing on a USB device.
Since the supplied busybox is too broken to even rebuild it's own
update I'll now have to find an arm binary to get out of this chicken
and egg situation.
"Fully embrasing linux" seems to mean letting this list do most of
the product support for them.
Anyone thinking of buying a TS product should realise they are going
to have to get head long into embedded system development. They do
not work out of the box as advertised.
If anyone has built a more recent busybox with working find and awk ,
would they like to post it to files section?
TIA.
