26 November 2001, powerpc shared libraries fully working +
+ Dave Schleef finished off the the work needed for shared library support on + powerpc. There had been a few problems remaining, and those are now squashed. + So shared libs on powerpc should be working fully now. + +
+
14 November 2001, m68 compiles again, Large file support working +
+ About a month ago I synced the header files with glibc 2.2.4 for better + C++ support and better standards compliance. I forgot to sync up m68k, + sparc, powerpc, and mipsel. Dave Schleef fixed powerpc while he was fixing + up the shared lib loader. I just fixed up m68k, sparc, and mipsel so they + should all compile again. +
+ I also finished up fixing large file support (just enable DOLFS in your + Config file to enable it) and it is working just great, and greatly increases + the number of glibc applications that will work "out-of-the-tarball" without + needing any changes. + + +
12 November 2001, powerpc shared lib support +
+ Thanks to David Schleef, uClibc now has full shared library support + on powerpc. This brings full shared library support to x86, ARM, and + now powerpc. Thanks Dave! + + +
+
7 November 2001, uClibc application list +
+ uClibc now has a list of applications + that are known to work. If you have any applications to add to the + list, submissions are welcome! + + +
+
18 October 2001, buildroot uClibc example system +
+ + Those wanting an easy way to test out uClibc and give it + a test drive can download and compile + buildroot.tar.gz. This + is a nifty buildsystem that will automagically download and build + a User-Mode Linux + kernel, and will then download source for and compile up a fully + working uClibc based root filesystem. This should make it easy for + people to create their own projects. I hope that this build system + will allow people to more easily use and build uClibc based systems. + As an example of how nicely this works, the + Tuxscreen Project is using a + slightly adjusted variant of the buildroot system to cross + compile the blob bootloader, linux kernel, and a uClibc based jffs2 + root filesystem (busybox, tinylogin, udhcp, lrzsz, pcmcia-cs and + microwindows) for ARM. Pretty cool. + + + +
+
11 October 2001, v850 architecture support +
+ + Miles Bader has contributed support for the v850 architecture. + + +
+
25 Spetember 2001, header files updated +
+ + uClibc's header files are now in sync with glibc 2.2.4, + allowing better standards compliance, better portibility, and + better C++ support. + +
+
4 July 2001, ARM shared library support +
+ + uClibc now has full shared library support on ARM. + + +
+
9 May 2001, libm added +
+ + uClibc now has a very complete math library. + + +
+

9 May 2001, ld.so added +
+ + uClibc now has a native ld.so. It currently is only ported to work on x86, + but porting to other architectures should not be too difficult. + + +

15 March 2001, powerpc port added +
+ + David Schleef contributed a powerpc port, which is now in CVS. + +

19 February 2001, SH port added +
+ + Jean-Yves Avenard contributed an SH port. See his email + with the initial patch here. + +

16 January 2001, uClibc as a shared library +
+ + As if January 16, uClibc can now be used (at least on x86) as a shared + library. See the email + announcing this achievement. + +

11 January 2001, gcc wrapper added +
+ + Manuel Novoa III has created a wrapper for gcc that makes compiling apps vs uClibc + as simple as just setting "CC" to gcc-uClibc-< arch>. This even works when cross + compiling! Very cool. + +

3 January 2001, uClibc now has a web page +
+ + A lot of work has been going on under the hood with uClibc, + so I decided to put together this webpage to let the world know + that it exists and is getting to be very usable. + + +
+ + + + +
