As such, + I have updated the <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-i386.bz2"> + i386 development system image</a>, the + <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-powerpc.bz2"> + powerpc development system image</a>, and I am also releasing + upon an unsuspecting world the brand new + <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-arm.bz2"> + arm development system image</a>! + Have fun! + <p> + + All three development system images were compiled and built using the stock + <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a> system. These were also + built using the (about to be announced in a couple on minutes) uClibc + 0.9.17 release, so if you want to begin compiling and testing stuff with + uClibc, but you don't feel like spending the _hours_ it takes to download, + configure, and build your own uClibc based development system -- then you + may want to download these and give them a try. They each contain a 100 MB + ext2 filesystem with everything you need to begin compiling your own + applications. I have (at least minimally) tested each of them and verified + that the included gcc and g++ compilers produce working uClibc linked + executables. + + <p> + Oh, and I have also have updated the uClibc/gcc toolchain builders, so + if you just want a simple uClibc/gcc toolchain, + <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/toolchain/">one of these should work for you.</a> + <p> + + + <p> + <li> <b>10 January 2003, dev system updates, powerpc image released</b> + <br> + + A few problems showed up in yesterday's development system release + (adduser was broken, gdb didn't work, libstdc++ shared libs were missing, + etc). So I've updated the <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-i386.bz2"> + i386 development system image</a> to fix these problems. + Also, the <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-powerpc.bz2"> + powerpc development system image</a> has finally finished compiling + and is now released upon an unsuspecting world. Have fun! + <p> + + + <p> + <li> <b>9 January 2003, uClibc development system released</b> + <br> + + CodePoet Consulting (i.e. Erik) has been working hard on <a + href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a> recently, and is pleased to + offer a full stand-alone uClibc-only development system. This is an ext2 + filesystem for i386 containing all the development software you need to + build your own uClibc applications. With bash, awk, make, gcc, g++, + autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh, gdb, strace, valgrind, + busybox, GNU coreutils, and more, this should have pretty much everything + you need to get started building your own applications linked against + uClibc. By using a uClibc only system, you can avoid all the painful + cross-configuration problems that have made using uClibc somewhat painful + in the past. A powerpc and an arm version are in progress. Expect them + to be released shortly.... + + <p> + + The <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-i386.bz2"> + uClibc development system is an 18MB bzip2 compressed ext2 filesystem</a>, + so be prepared to wait if you are on a slow link. If you wish to have more + space, you can loop mount it and 'cp -a' the contents to their own + partition, or do what I did... <EM>WARNING, the following can be very + dangerous. Please be sure you know what you are doing before trying this. + I am not responsible if you lose all your important data.</EM>I had a spare + hard drive (in my case /dev/hdg but you'll want to adapt this to your own + needs), so I partitioned it with a single ext2 partition filling the drive + (in my case /dev/hdg1). Then I ran:<PRE> + bzcat root_fs-i386.bz2 | dd of=/dev/hdg1 + e2fsck -f /dev/hdg1 + resize2fs -p /dev/hdg1</PRE> + + which overwrote everything on /dev/hdg with the new uClibc devel system, + and then expanded the filesystem with the uClibc devel system till it + filled the whole drive. + <p> + + + <p> <li> <b>8 November 2002, uClibc 0.9.16 Released</b> <br> |
