- <br>
- CodePoet Consulting has released source code and a Makefile
- to build a gcc-3.0.4 toolchain that natively targets uClibc.
- This brings with it full C++ support for uClibc, including the
- libstdc++ library. A gcc-2.95.x toolchain will also be released
- shortly, but is not yet ready. At this time, only source code and
- a Makefile for the native uClibc toolchain is being released (i.e.
- no binaries, sorry). Source code can be downloaded

- but be aware that the source code is 27 MB.

- To build the toolchain, simply grab the source, edit the Makefile

- <br>
-
- CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate
- availability of uClibc 0.9.10. This release adds pthreads support
- (including pthreads support for mmu-less systems!). Additionally,
- thanks to Manuel Novoa III, we now have a completely new stdio
- library, which is small, standards compliant, supports pthreads,
- wide/narrow streams, large files, and can even operate in a
- low-memory unbuffered mode. Many, many bugs have been fixed and a
- number of additional applications now compile and run perfectly.
- Even with all these changes, uClibc continues to be very small.
- On x86, a default build of the uClibc C library is still just 168k.
-
- <p>
-
- To make things more interesting, the release also adds support for
- C++ constructors and destructors. To make it easy to use uClibc
- when developing C++ applications, this release also provides a
- wrapper for the GNU C++ compiler. Of course, for more complex C++
- applications, such as those using iostreams, a standard C++ library
- (libstdc++) is required. A native GNU toolchain (binutils/gcc) that
- provides libstdc++ linked with uClibc 0.9.10 will be released in the
- next couple of days, so stay tuned.

- <a href="uClibc-apps.html">just about
- everything we have tested now compiles and runs</a>. In fact,
