  22. If you wish to build uClibc with support for shared libraries then
  23. answer Y here. If you only want to build uClibc as a static library,
  24. then answer N.
  25. config ADD_LIBGCC_FUNCTIONS
  26. bool "Add unresolved libgcc symbols to uClibc"
  27. depends on HAVE_SHARED
  28. default n
  29. help
  30. If you answer Y here, all unresolved functions provided by the libgcc
  31. library that are used by uClibc will be added directly into the
  32. uClibc library. If your gcc compiler only provides a static libgcc
  33. library, then enabling this option can reduce the size of your
  34. binaries by preventing these functions from being staticly linked
  35. into every binary. If you have compiled uClibc as PIC code, one
  36. potential size effect of this option is that you may end up adding
  37. non-PIC libgcc code into your shared uClibc library, resulting in a
  38. non shareable text segment (thereby wasting a bunch of ram). If your
  39. compiler supports a shared libgcc library, you should certainly leave
  40. this option disabled. Regardless, the safest answer is N.
  41. config BUILD_UCLIBC_LDSO
  42. bool "Compile native shared library loader"
  43. depends on HAVE_SHARED
  44. default y
  45. help
  46. uClibc has a native shared library loader for some architectures.
  47. If you answer Y here, the uClibc native shared library loader will
  48. be built for your target architecture. If this option is available,
  49. to you, then you almost certainly want to answer Y.
  50. config FORCE_SHAREABLE_TEXT_SEGMENTS

  52. depends on BUILD_UCLIBC_LDSO && UCLIBC_COMPLETELY_PIC && !ADD_LIBGCC_SYMBOLS
  53. default n
  54. help
  55. If you answer Y here, the uClibc native shared library loader will
  56. only load shared libraries, which do not need to modify any non-writable
  57. segments. These libraries haven't set the DT_TEXTREL tag in the dynamic
  58. section (==> objdump). So all your libraries must be compiled with
  59. -fPIC or -fpic, and all assembler function must be written as position
  60. independent code (PIC).
  61. Enabling this option will makes uClibc's shared library loader a
  62. little bit smaller and guarantee that no memory will be wasted by badly
  63. coded shared libraries.
  64. config LDSO_LDD_SUPPORT
  65. bool "Native shared library loader 'ldd' support"
  66. depends on BUILD_UCLIBC_LDSO
  67. default y
  68. help
  69. Enable this to enable all the code needed to support traditional ldd,
  70. which executes the shared library loader to resolve all dependencies
  71. and then provide a list of shared libraries that are required for an
  72. application to function. Disabling this option will makes uClibc's
  73. shared library loader a little bit smaller. Most people will answer Y.
  74. config UCLIBC_CTOR_DTOR
  75. bool "Support global constructors and destructors"
  76. default y
  77. help
  78. If you wish to build uClibc with support for global constructor
  79. (ctor) and global destructor (dtor) support, then answer Y here.
  80. When ctor/dtor support is enabled, binaries linked with uClibc must
  81. also be linked with crtbegin.o and crtend.o which are provided by gcc
  82. (the "*startfile:" and "*endfile:" settings in your gcc specs file
  83. may need to be adjusted to include these files). This support will
  84. also add a small amount of additional size to each binary compiled vs
  85. uClibc. If you will be using uClibc with C++, or if you need the gcc
  86. __attribute__((constructor)) and __attribute__((destructor)) to work,
  87. then you definitely want to answer Y here. If you don't need ctors
  88. or dtors and want your binaries to be as small as possible, then
  89. answer N.
  90. config UCLIBC_PROFILING
  91. bool "Support gprof profiling"
  92. default y
  93. help
  94. If you wish to build uClibc with support for application profiling
  95. using the gprof tool, then you should enable this feature. Then in
  96. addition to building uClibc with profiling support, you will also
  97. need to recompile all your shared libraries with the profiling
  98. enabled version of uClibc. To add profiling support to your
  99. applications, you must compile things using the gcc options
  100. "-fprofile-arcs -pg". Then when you run your applications, a
  101. gmon.out file will be generated which can then be analyzed by
  102. 'gprof'.
  103. These exist a number of less invasive alternatives that do not
  104. require your to specially instrument your application, and recompile
  105. and relink everything.
  106. Many people have had good results using the combination of Valgrind
  107. to generate profiling information and KCachegrind for analysis:
  108. http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/
  109. http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/
  110. The OProfile system-wide profiler is another alternative:
  111. http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/
  112. Prospect is another alternative based on OProfile:
  113. http://prospect.sourceforge.net/
  114. And the Linux Trace Toolkit (LTT) is also a fine tool:
  115. http://www.opersys.com/LTT/
  116. If none of these tools do what you need, you can of course enable
  117. this option, rebuild everything, and use 'gprof'. There is both a
  118. size and performance penelty to profiling your applications this way,
  119. so most people should answer N.
  120. config UCLIBC_HAS_THREADS
  121. bool "POSIX Threading Support"
  122. default y
  123. help
  124. If you want to compile uClibc with pthread support, then answer Y.
  125. This will increase the size of uClibc by adding a bunch of locking
  126. to critical data structures, and adding extra code to ensure that
  127. functions are properly reentrant.
  128. If your applications require pthreads, answer Y.
  129. config PTHREADS_DEBUG_SUPPORT
  130. bool "Build pthreads debugging support"
  131. default n
  132. depends on UCLIBC_HAS_THREADS
  133. help
  134. Say Y here if you wish to be able to debug applications that use
  135. uClibc's pthreads library. By enabling this option, a library
  136. named libthread_db will be built. This library will be dlopen()'d
  137. by gdb and will allow gdb to debug the threads in your application.
  138. IMPORTANT NOTE! Because gdb must dlopen() the libthread_db library,
  139. you must compile gdb with uClibc in order for pthread debugging to
  140. work properly.
  141. If you are doing development and want to debug applications using
  142. uClibc's pthread library, answer Y. Otherwise, answer N.
  143. config UCLIBC_HAS_LFS
  144. bool "Large File Support"
  145. default y
  146. help
  147. If you wish to build uClibc with support for accessing large files
  148. (i.e. files greater then 2 GiB) then answer Y. Do not enable this
  149. if you are using an older Linux kernel (2.0.x) that lacks large file
  150. support. Enabling this option will increase the size of uClibc.
  151. choice
  152. prompt "Malloc Implementation"
  153. default "malloc-930716"
  154. help
  155. "malloc" use mmap for all allocations and so works very well on MMU-less
  156. systems that do not support the brk() system call. It is pretty smart
  157. about reusing already allocated memory, and minimizing memory wastage.
  158. "malloc-930716" is derived from libc-5.3.12 and uses the brk() system call
  159. for all memory allocations. This makes it very fast. It is also pretty
  160. smart about reusing already allocated memory, and minimizing memory wastage.
  161. Because this uses brk() it will not work on uClinux MMU-less systems.
  162. If unsure, answer "malloc".

  171. default y
  172. help
  173. When this option is enabled, uClibc will support an infinite number,
  174. of atexit() and on_exit() functions, limited only by your available
  175. memory. This can be important when uClibc is used with C++, since
  176. global destructors are implemented via atexit(), and it is quite
  177. possible to exceed the default number when this option is disabled.
  178. Enabling this option adds a few bytes, and more significantly makes
  179. atexit and on_exit depend on malloc, which can be bad when compiling
  180. static executables.
  181. Unless you use uClibc with C++, you should probably answer N.
  182. config HAS_SHADOW

  192. POSIX regular expression code is really big -- 27k all by itself.
  193. If you don't use regular expressions, turn this off and save space.
  194. Of course, if you only staticly link, leave this on, since it will
  195. only be included in your apps if you use regular expressions.
  196. config UNIX98PTY_ONLY

  198. default y
  199. help
  200. If you want to support only Unix 98 PTYs enable this. Some older

  207. Enable this if /dev/pts is on a devpts or devfs filesystem. Both
  208. these filesystems automatically manage permissions on the /dev/pts
  209. devices. You may need to mount your devpts or devfs filesystem on
  210. /dev/pts for this to work.

  215. help
  216. Enabling this option adds fields to 'struct tm' in time.h for
  217. tracking the number of seconds east of UTC, and an abbreviation for
  218. the current timezone. These fields are not specified by the SuSv3
  219. standard, but they are commonly used in both GNU and BSD application
  220. code.
