- <li> <b>8 November 2002, uClibc 0.9.16 Released</b>
|
|
|
- <br>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
|
|
|
- uClibc 0.9.16. This release adds full support (including a native shared
|
|
|
- library loader) for the CRIS architecture, contributed by Tobias Anderberg.
|
|
|
- Stefan Allius contributed a number of patches to fix the initialization
|
|
|
- order for shared library global constructors and destructors as well as a
|
|
|
- large number of SuperH fixes and cleanups. uClibc now compiles with
|
|
|
- newer versions of gcc (i.e. RedHat 8.0). Thanks to Christian Michon,
|
|
|
- uClibc no longer requires perl to compile. Steven J. Hill fixed dlopen for
|
|
|
- mips. Several problems with pty and tty handling were fixed. Manuel Novoa
|
|
|
- added new support for an /etc/TZ file to globally set the system timezone,
|
|
|
- and fixed up a number of remaining wide char issues. Manuel is still hard
|
|
|
- at work on bringing full locale support (optional of course) to uClibc.
|
|
|
- And of course, this release includes the usual pile of bug fixes. Many thanks
|
|
|
- for the large number of patches and fixes that were contributed!
|
|
|
- <p>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Erik and Manuel have been working on a
|
|
|
- <a href="downloads/Glibc_vs_uClibc_Differences.txt">
|
|
|
- document describing some of the differences between uClibc and glibc.</a>
|
|
|
- It's not yet 100% complete, and it hasn't been nicely formatted yet. But
|
|
|
- it contains a lot of helpful information and is worth a look.
|
|
|
- <p>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- And finally, the the old uClibc configuration system has been completely
|
|
|
- removed (and there was much rejoicing). It was replaced with an entirely
|
|
|
- new system based on <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~zippel/lc/">LinuxKernelConf</a>,
|
|
|
- which has since been included into Linux 2.5.45, so it looks like Erik made
|
|
|
- the right choice. Of course, those who have existing build systems using uClibc
|
|
|
- will need to make a few changes... We think the change is worth it.

|
|
|
- You might want to download uClibc from the closest
|
|
|
- <a href="http://kernel.org/mirrors/">kernel.org mirror site</a>.
|
|
|
- Just pick the closest mirror site, and then go to

|
|

- <li> <b>16 September 2002, gcc-3.2 and gcc-2.95 toolchains released</b>
|
|
|
- <br>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CodePoet Consulting (i.e. Erik) has released updated gcc-3.2 and gcc-2.95
|
|
|
- uClibc toolchains. These toolchains build real gcc cross compilers (i.e.
|
|
|
- not just a wrapper) and create executables linked vs uClibc. The new
|
|
|
- gcc-3.2 provides uClibc support with the latest and greatest compiler
|
|
|
- available from the gcc team. The gcc-2.95 toolchain has been updated to
|
|
|
- the latest version of uClibc and now provides full C++ support, using the
|
|
|
- <a href="http://www.stlport.org/">STLport</a> standard C++ library.
|
|
|
- <p>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This toolchain should make it easy for anyone to build uClibc based
|
|
|
- applications. <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/toolchain/">
|
|
|
- Source code can be downloaded here</a>.
|
|
|
- Be aware that much of the needed source code will actually be downloaded on
|
|
|
- when you compile the toolchains. To build a toolchain, simply
|
|
|
- grab the source, edit the Makefile to select where you would like
|
|
|
- the toolchain installed, run 'make', and then go watch TV, eat
|
|
|
- dinner, or visit with your friends while it compiles. It takes
|
|
|
- about 15 minutes for Erik to compile the gcc-3.2 toolchain (w/C++ support)
|
|
|
- on his Athlon XP 1600 (not counting the time it takes to download
|
|
|
- source code).
