This directory contains the version VERSION test release of the GNU C Library.
|
|
Many bugs have been fixed since the last release.
|
|
Some bugs surely remain.
|
|
|
|
As of this release, the GNU C library is known to run on the following
|
|
configurations:
|
|
|
|
*-*-gnu GNU Hurd
|
|
i[3456]86-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on Intel
|
|
m68k-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on Motorola 680x0
|
|
alpha-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on DEC Alpha
|
|
powerpc-*-linux-gnu Linux and MkLinux on PowerPC systems
|
|
sparc-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on SPARC
|
|
sparc64-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on UltraSPARC
|
|
|
|
|
|
Former releases of this library (version 1.09.1 and perhaps earlier
|
|
versions) used to run on the following configurations:
|
|
|
|
alpha-dec-osf1
|
|
i[3456]86-*-bsd4.3
|
|
i[3456]86-*-isc2.2
|
|
i[3456]86-*-isc3
|
|
i[3456]86-*-sco3.2
|
|
i[3456]86-*-sco3.2v4
|
|
i[3456]86-*-sysv
|
|
i[3456]86-*-sysv4
|
|
i[3456]86-force_cpu386-none
|
|
i[3456]86-sequent-bsd
|
|
i960-nindy960-none
|
|
m68k-hp-bsd4.3
|
|
m68k-mvme135-none
|
|
m68k-mvme136-none
|
|
m68k-sony-newsos3
|
|
m68k-sony-newsos4
|
|
m68k-sun-sunos4
|
|
mips-dec-ultrix4
|
|
mips-sgi-irix4
|
|
sparc-sun-solaris2
|
|
sparc-sun-sunos4
|
|
|
|
Since no one has volunteered to test and fix the above configurations,
|
|
these are not supported at the moment. It's expected that these don't
|
|
work anymore. Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested
|
|
in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers by sending
|
|
electronic mail to <bug-glibc@gnu.org>.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
called `glibc-crypt-VERSION.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt
|
|
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.ifi.uio.no
|
|
[129.240.64.21], 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.ifi.uio.no; 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.
|
|
|
|
Beside the separate crypt tar file there are some more 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.
|
|
|
|
See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
|
|
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@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.
|
|
|
|
We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which
|
|
is installed together with the rest of the GNU libc to <bugs@gnu.org>.
|
|
Simply run this shell script and fill in the information. Nevertheless
|
|
you can still send bug reports to <bug-glibc@gnu.org> as normal electronic
|
|
mails.
|
|
|
|
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
|
|
conditions.
