- 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.
|
|
|
+ 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!

- the toolchain installed, run 'make', and then go watch TV, eat
|
|

- 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
|

|

|
|
|

|

-

+ 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.

- CodePoet Consulting is slightly less pleased then usual to announce the

- immediate availability of uClibc 0.9.14. This is, unfortunately, a bugfix
|
|
|
- release intended to fix the couple of dumb things that slipped into the
|
|
|
- previous release. Version 0.9.13 of uClibc would fail to compile when
|
|
|
- enabling both RPC and Pthreads. There was also a problem with RPC thread
|
|
|
- local storage (but noone noticed since it didn't compile ;-). Also, the
|
|
|
- thread locking in exit(), onexit() and atexit() was broken, and wasn't
|
|
|
- actually locking anything. This release also fixes uClibc's gcc wrapper
|
|
|
- to use crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o when compiling PIC code, fixing a subtle
|
|
|
- bug (that was much less subtle on powerpc). Finally, this release includes a
|
|
|
- few minor compile warning cleanups.
