This directory contains the version 2.3.6 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 | |
powerpc64-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.4.19+ on 64-bit PowerPC systems | |
sparc-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on SPARC | |
sparc64-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on UltraSPARC 64-bit | |
arm-*-none ARM standalone systems | |
arm-*-linux Linux-2.x on ARM | |
arm-*-linuxaout Linux-2.x on ARM using a.out binaries | |
mips*-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on MIPS | |
ia64-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on ia64 | |
s390-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on IBM S/390 | |
s390x-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.4+ on IBM S/390 64-bit | |
sh-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.x on Super Hitachi | |
x86-64-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.4+ on x86-64 | |
Past releases of this library ran on a variety of configurations that are | |
no longer supported. Porting the library is not hard. If you are | |
interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; | |
see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. | |
This release can be compiled using GCC 4.0, but you should expect many more | |
compiler warnings than using GCC 3.4. The development version of libc is | |
better suited to being built with the most recent GCC versions. | |
There are some 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@gnu.org>, 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. | |
Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting | |
information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. | |
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. | |
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying | |
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require | |
these additional notices to be distributed. |
