|
|
- CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
|
|
|
- uClibc 0.9.23. Of course, we are somewhat less than pleased that there
|
|
|
- were configuration problems in the previous release that made such it
|
|
|
- necessary to release .23 so quickly. Updated uClibc development systems
|
|
|
- using uClibc 0.9.23 are being built and will be posted shortly. And Erik
|
|
|
- has built Debian stable (woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <p>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This release continues to be binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and
|
|
|
- 0.9.22 -- as long as you pick compatible configuration options. Enabling
|
|
|
- or disabling things like soft-float, locale, wide char support, or changing
|
|
|
- cpu optimizations are all good examples of binary incompatible
|
|
|
- configuration options. If have changed any of those sorts of options (or
|
|
|
- if you are not sure!) you will need to recompile all your applications and
|
|

|

|

- with the latest <a href="http://ltp.sourceforge.net/">Linux Test Project

|
|
|
- have been updated to uClibc 0.9.21 (plus all the CVS updates up to
|
|
|
- today). Several problems have been fixed up,
|
|
|
- gcc has been updated to version 3.3.1, binutils was updated to 2.14.90.0.6, and
|
|
|
- <em>tada</em> everything finally works for cross compiling. These were
|
|
|
- all cross compiled (which really makes things faster since the older
|
|
|
- mipsel releases used to take 2 days to build!)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <p>
|
|
|
- These are ~100 MB ext2 filesystems that run natively on the specified
|
|
|
- architecture. They contains all the development software you need to build
|
|
|
- your own uClibc applications, including bash, coreutils, findutils,
|
|
|
- diffutils, patch, sed, ed, flex, bison, file, gawk, tar, grep gdb, strace,
|
|
|
- make, gcc, g++, autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh perl,
|
|
|
- and more. And of course, everything is dynamically linked against uClibc.
|
|
|
- By using a uClibc only system, you can avoid all the painful
|
|
|
- cross-configuration problems that have made using uClibc somewhat painful
|
|
|
- in the past. If you want to quickly get started with testing or using
|
|
|
- uClibc you should give these images a try. You can loop mount and them
|
|
|
- you can chroot into them, you can boot into with using user-mode Linux,
|
|
|
- and you can even 'dd' them to a spare partition and use resize2fs to make
|
|
|
- them fill the drive. Whatever works for you.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <p> If you would like to build your own custom uClibc system, you can
|
|
|
- use <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a>, which is
|
|
|
- how these uClibc development systems were created.
