This is, unfortunately, a bugfix + release intended to fix the couple of dumb things that slipped into the + previous release. Version 0.9.13 of uClibc would fail to compile when + enabling both RPC and Pthreads. There was also a problem with RPC thread + local storage (but noone noticed since it didn't compile ;-). Also, the + thread locking in exit(), onexit() and atexit() was broken, and wasn't + actually locking anything. This release also fixes uClibc's gcc wrapper + to use crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o when compiling PIC code, fixing a subtle + bug (that was much less subtle on powerpc). Finally, this release includes a + few minor compile warning cleanups. + <p> + The + <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/Changelog">Changelog</a> + and <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/uClibc-0.9.14.tar.bz2">source code</a> + for this release are available <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/">here</a>. + <p> + Have fun! + <p> + + + <li> <b>12 August 2002, Native uClibc/gcc-3.1.1 toolchain released</b> + <br> + + CodePoet Consulting (i.e. Erik) has released an updated native + uClibc/gcc-3.1.1 toolchain. This toolchain builds a real gcc cross + compiler (i.e. not just a wrapper) and creates executables linked vs + uClibc. This toolchain has been (briefly) tested as working on x86, arm, + mips, and arm7tdmi (uClinux). This toolchain provides a number of + improvements over previous releases. In particular, Steven J. Hill found + and fixes a number of "glibc-isms" in the libstdc++ math support which + caused a number of math functions to be mapped to the non-standard named + under GNU libc. This release also includes greatly improved uClinux + "elf2flt" support, and it now produces working flat binaries for my + uClinux/arm7tdmi system. The native uClibc/gcc-2.95 toolchain will be + updated in a few days, and will include STLport which will allow that + toolchain to also provide full C++ support. + <p> + + This toolchain should make it easy for anyone to build uClibc based + applications. <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/toolchain/"> + Source code can be downloaded here</a>. + Be aware that much of the needed source code will actually be downloaded on + demand when you compile things. To build the toolchain, simply + grab the source, edit the Makefile to select where you would like + the toolchain installed, run 'make', and then go watch TV, eat + dinner, or visit with your friends while it compiles. It takes + about 15 minutes for Erik to compile the gcc-3.1.1 toolchain (w/C++ support) + on his Athlon XP 1600 (not counting the time it takes to download + source code). Your results may vary... + <p> + + <li> <b>9 August 2002, uClibc now mirrored on kernel.org!</b> + <br> + uClibc is now available from the kernel.org mirrors! This should make + uClibc downloads much faster. The kernel.org mirrors will have all + uClibc release versions (everything but the daily snapshots). + Here is a list of all the <a href="http://kernel.org/mirrors/">kernel.org mirror sites</a>. + Just pick the closest mirror site, and then go to "/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/" + to download uClibc. For example, is you live the USA, you can go to + <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/"> + http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/</a> to download the latest + uClibc release from a nice fast system. + <p> + <p> + + <p> <li> <b>9 August 2002, uClibc 0.9.13 Released</b> <br> |
