This directory contains the version 1.09.6 test release of the GNU C Library.

Many bugs have been fixed since the last release.
|
|

Some bugs surely remain.

Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a port,
|
|
|
|
|
please get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to

The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
|
|
|
|
|
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.
|
|
|
|
|
Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations,
|
|
|
|
|
we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C
|
|
|
|
|
library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is
|
1995-03-29 16:58:35 +00:00
|
|
|
called `glibc-1.09.6-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt
|
1995-02-18 01:27:10 +00:00
|
|
|
distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can
|
|
|
|
|
also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA
|
|
|
|
|
can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk
|
|
|
|
|
[129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive
|
|
|
|
|
maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives
|
|
|
|
|
outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this
|
|
|
|
|
distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a
|
|
|
|
|
site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws.

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@prep.ai.mit.edu, 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
|
|
|
|
|
conditions.
