- This directory contains the version 1.09 test 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 has been ported to the following
- configurations:
-
- alpha-dec-osf1
- i386-bsd4.3
- i386-force_cpu386-none
- i386-gnu (for Hurd development only)
- i386-isc2.2
- i386-isc3
- i386-sco3.2
- i386-sco3.2v4
- i386-sequent-bsd
- i386-sysv
- i386-sysv4
- i960-nindy960-none
- m68k-hp-bsd4.3
- m68k-mvme135-none
- m68k-mvme136-none
- m68k-sony-newsos3
- m68k-sony-newsos4
- m68k-sun-sunos4
- mips-dec-ultrix4
- mips-sgi-irix4
- sparc-sun-solaris2
- sparc-sun-sunos4
-
- Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a port,
- please get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to
- bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu.
-
- The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
- provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.
- Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations,
- we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C
- library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is
- called `glibc-1.09-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt
- distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can
- also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA
- can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk
- [129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive
- maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives
- outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this
- distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a
- site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws.
-
- See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
- the GNU C library.
-
- 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@prep.ai.mit.edu, 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.
-
- Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.
-
- The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
- conditions.
