This directory contains the version 1.05 test release of the GNU C Library.
|
|
Many bugs have been fixed since the last release.
|
|
Some bugs surely remain.
|
|
|
|
As of this release, the GNU C library has been ported to: sparcs and Sun 3s
|
|
running SunOS 4.1, HP 9000/300 and Sony NEWS workstations running 4.3 BSD,
|
|
and MIPS DECStations running Ultrix 4. The port to the i386 running
|
|
either System V, SVR4, or BSD, is mostly complete but has not been well
|
|
tested. Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a
|
|
port, please get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to
|
|
bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu
|
|
|
|
The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
|
|
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. Because
|
|
of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, we are
|
|
distributing this code separately from the rest of the C library. There is
|
|
an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is called
|
|
`glibc-1.05-crypt.tar.Z'. You can just unpack the crypt distribution
|
|
along with the rest of the C library and build; you can also build the
|
|
library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA can get the crypt
|
|
distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk [129.142.6.74], or another
|
|
archive site outside the USA. Archive maintainers are encouraged to copy
|
|
this distribution to their archives outside the USA. Please get it from
|
|
ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any
|
|
other site in the USA) to a site outside the USA is in violation of US
|
|
export laws.
|
|
|
|
See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
|
|
the GNU C library.
|
|
|
|
The manual for the GNU C library is still being worked on, and is not yet
|
|
distributed.
|
|
|
|
The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used in
|
|
the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what facilities
|
|
you want it to make available.
|
|
|
|
Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.
|
|
|
|
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
|
|
conditions.
