Several problems have been fixed up, + gcc has been updated to version 3.3.1, binutils was updated to 2.14.90.0.6, and + <em>tada</em> everything finally works for cross compiling. These were + all cross compiled (which really makes things faster since the older + mipsel releases used to take 2 days to build!) + + <p> + These are ~100 MB ext2 filesystems that run natively on the specified + architecture. They contains all the development software you need to build + your own uClibc applications, including bash, coreutils, findutils, + diffutils, patch, sed, ed, flex, bison, file, gawk, tar, grep gdb, strace, + make, gcc, g++, autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh perl, + and more. And of course, everything is dynamically 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. If you want to quickly get started with testing or using + uClibc you should give these images a try. You can loop mount and them + you can chroot into them, you can boot into with using user-mode Linux, + and you can even 'dd' them to a spare partition and use resize2fs to make + them fill the drive. Whatever works for you. + + <p> If you would like to build your own custom uClibc system, you can + use <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a>, which is + how these uClibc development systems were created. + <p> + + <p> <li> <b>9 September 2003, uClibc 0.9.21 Released</b> <br> |
