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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-07-24 05:41:25 +00:00
|
|
|
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.

1997-01-27 06:02:03 +00:00

the GNU C library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the

The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
|
|
|
|
|
in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and
|
1998-03-25 16:38:08 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
1995-02-18 01:27:10 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
