Past releases of this library ran on a variety of configurations that are
|
|
|
|
|
no longer supported. Porting the library is not hard. If you are
|
|
|
|
|
interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers;
|
|
|
|
|
see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are some add-ons which can be used together with GNU libc. They
|
|
|
|
|
are designed in a way to ease the installation by integrating them in
|
|
|
|
|
the libc source tree. Simply get the add-ons you need and use the
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-add-ons option of the `configure' script to tell where the
|
|
|
|
|
add-ons are found. Please read the FAQ file for more details.

the GNU C library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the

GNU libc at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html.

|
The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
|
|
|
|
|
in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and
|
|
|
|
|
contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
|
|
|
|
|
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.
|
|
|
|
|
Please send comments on the manual to <bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org>, and
|
|
|
|
|
not to the library bug-reporting address.

The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used
|
|
|
|
|
in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what
|
|
|
|
|
facilities you want it to make available.
