===============README PLEASE========================================
|
|
There are two new functions, setdomainname () and getdomainname ().
|
|
You need the new uname () in the kernel 0.99 pl9 + ALPHA diff or
|
|
0.99 pl 10 to use it. Linus will make them soon. If you use an older
|
|
kernel, as long as you don't compile any source codes which use
|
|
uname (), gethostname (), setdomainname () and getdomainname (), you
|
|
will be fine. The new uname () is located at a different address, see
|
|
<sys/syscall.h>. Old binaries which use uname () and gethostname ()
|
|
should work as before. Please be careful when you compile the Linux
|
|
C library yourself. I don's suggest you compile it yourself if
|
|
you don't have the kernel 0.99 pl 10 source installed and you
|
|
have no clue what you are doing. Please read ChangeLog and
|
|
./libc-linux/include for details.
|
|
|
|
The reason I do that is gcc 2.4.0 needs the Linux C library 4.4.
|
|
====================================================================
|
|
|
|
This is the release of the Linux C library 4.4. You have to
|
|
install the source code of 0.99 pl5 to use it since there are some
|
|
changes in kernel. You have to use 0.99 pl9 + ALPHA diff or 0.99 pl 10
|
|
kernel to use new [f]pathconf () since it uses f_namelen in struct
|
|
statfs as well as domainname support. You also need gcc 2.3.3 or above
|
|
to use it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: I have put patch-2.0.12g8.diff.z, which uses the new pathconf ()
|
|
in pub/linux/packages/GCC/patches. I am sure you will love it.
|
|
It chooses the extension `#'/`~' or `.rej'/`.orig' at the run
|
|
time depending on the filesystem on which the new file will be
|
|
created.
|
|
|
|
You can get this package under pub/linux/packages/GCC from
|
|
tsx-11.mit.edu. The file names are inc-4.4.tar.z, libc-4.4.tar.z,
|
|
libc-4.3.3-4.4.tar.z, inc-4.3.3-4.4.tar.z, image-4.4.tar.z and
|
|
extra-4.4.tar.z. Also binutils.tar.z and binutils-1.9l.tar.z.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: PLEASE READ THEM. Read ChangeLog for details of the bug fixes
|
|
and changes.
|
|
0) Since some C++ header files are changed in the Linux C library
|
|
4.4, please install libg++ 2.3 first and install libc 4.4 until
|
|
libg++ 2.4 is released.
|
|
1) There is a change in ./libc-linux/sysdeps/linux/i386/__load.c.
|
|
Please read the ChangeLog. Please check it out
|
|
2) All the stuff previously in /usr/etc/inet or /etc/inet must be
|
|
in /etc now.
|
|
3) cfmakeraw () in ./libc-linux/posix/cfmakeraw.c is changed. If
|
|
you have problem with any communication applications, like
|
|
kermit and uucp, or something using cfmakeraw (), with the
|
|
new libc.a, please check it out first.
|
|
4) getopt_long () is changed. I undefined GETOPT_COMPAT in
|
|
./libc-linux/posix/getopt.c so that `+' cannot be used to
|
|
introduce a long-named option, like `--' because this is not
|
|
POSIX.2 compliant. As far as I know only those in
|
|
binutils.tar.z use `+' instead of `--'. Please get new
|
|
binutils.tar.z too. The source code, binutils-1.9l.tar.z, is in
|
|
pub/linux/packages/GCC/src.
|
|
5) get the latest tools-2.x.tar.z from pub/linux/packages/GCC/src
|
|
to fix the `+' bug.
|
|
6) in /libc-linux/misc/syslog.c, NUL is used as a message
|
|
delimiter. syslogd has to be changed to separate each message
|
|
from each other.
|
|
7) Please make sure there are no statfs.S statfs.S uname.S in
|
|
src/libc-linux/sysdeps/linux. Please do
|
|
|
|
cd src/libc-linux/sysdeps/linux
|
|
rm fstatfs.S statfs.S uname.S
|
|
|
|
since there are new fstatfs.c, statfs.c and uname.c.
|
|
8) This is an old one for libc 4.3.3. I included it here for you.
|
|
If you have problems with df and mount after installing this
|
|
release, please do:
|
|
1. Get Rick Sladkey's mount 0.99.6. It is in mount-0.99.6.tar.Z
|
|
and utile-1.4.src.tar.z from sunsite or tsx-11.
|
|
2. Remove any
|
|
rdev > /dev/mtab
|
|
from /etc/rc.
|
|
3. List / partition in /etc/fstab.
|
|
4. Add "mount -av" in /etc/rc or somewhere like that.
|
|
5. Always provide a fs name in /etc/fstab.
|
|
|
|
After rebooting, you will be fine.
|
|
9) The libg++ 2.3 doesn't compile out of box with gcc 2.4.0. I
|
|
hope the libg++ 2.4 will be out soon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release is compressed with gzip 1.0.3.
|
|
|
|
The file list:
|
|
|
|
1. inc-4.4.tar.z
|
|
|
|
The C/C++ header files for 4.4.
|
|
|
|
cd /usr
|
|
gzip -dc inc-4.4.tar.z | tar xvvof -
|
|
|
|
The header files in inc-4.4.tar.z are not complete. You have to
|
|
install the kernel source for the rest of the header files. Please
|
|
get the version mentioned at the beginning of this release note.
|
|
Suppose you install the kernel source at "/foo/bar/src",
|
|
you should do as root
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p /usr/include
|
|
cd /usr/include
|
|
ln -s /foo/bar/src/linux/include/asm .
|
|
ln -s /foo/bar/src/linux/include/linux .
|
|
|
|
2. libc-4.4.tar.z
|
|
|
|
Source code for 4.4.
|
|
|
|
cd src
|
|
gzip -dc libc-4.4.tar.z | tar xvvof -
|
|
|
|
3. libc-4.3.3-4.4.tar.z
|
|
|
|
Change of the source code from 4.3.3 to 4.4.
|
|
|
|
cd src
|
|
gzip -dc libc-4.3.3-4.4.tar.z | tar xvvof -
|
|
|
|
Please do
|
|
|
|
cd src/libc-linux/sysdeps/linux
|
|
rm fstatfs.S statfs.S uname.S
|
|
|
|
since there are new fstatfs.c, statfs.c and uname.c.
|
|
|
|
4. inc-4.3.3-4.4.tar.z
|
|
|
|
Change of the header files from 4.3.3 to 4.4.
|
|
|
|
cd /usr
|
|
gzip -dc inc-4.3.3-4.4.tar.z | tar xvvof -
|
|
|
|
5. image-4.4.tar.z
|
|
|
|
The static/stub libraries, shared image and crt0.o. To install
|
|
it, as root do
|
|
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
rm -rf ./lib ./usr
|
|
gzip -dc image-4.4.tar.z | tar xvvof -
|
|
cp -av ./lib ./usr /
|
|
cd /lib
|
|
ln -sf libc.so.4.4 libc.so.4
|
|
ln -sf libm.so.4.4 libm.so.4
|
|
|
|
If you have an early version of libc.so.4.4 installed, you may have
|
|
to play with it, like
|
|
|
|
cd /lib
|
|
cp libc.so.4.4 /tmp/libc.so.4.4.old
|
|
ln -sf /tmp/libc.so.4.4.old libc.so.4
|
|
mv libc.so.4.4 old.libc.so.4.4
|
|
|
|
before you unpack image-4.4.tar.z.
|
|
|
|
6. extra-4.4.tar.z
|
|
|
|
libmcheck.a, libg.a, libc_p.a, libgmon.a and gcrt0.o. To install
|
|
|
|
cd /
|
|
gzip -dc extra-4.4.tar.z | tar xvvof -
|
|
|
|
7. ChangeLog
