There had been a few problems remaining, and those are now squashed. + So shared libs on powerpc should be working fully now. + + <p> + <li> <b>14 November 2001, m68 compiles again, Large file support working</b> + <br> + 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. + <p> + 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. + + + <li> <b>12 November 2001, powerpc shared lib support</b> + <br> + 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! + + + <p> + <li> <b>7 November 2001, uClibc application list</b> + <br> + uClibc now has a <a href="http://uclibc.org/uClibc-apps.html">list of applications</a> + that are known to work. If you have any applications to add to the + list, submissions are welcome! + + + <p> + <li> <b>18 October 2001, buildroot uClibc example system</b> + <br> + + Those wanting an easy way to test out uClibc and give it + a test drive can download and compile + <a href="ftp://uclibc.org/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>. This + is a nifty buildsystem that will automagically download and build + a <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a> + 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 + <a href="http://tuxscreen.net/">Tuxscreen Project</a> is using a + <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tuxscreen/buildroot-tux/">slightly adjusted variant of the buildroot system</a> 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. + + + + <p> + <li> <b>11 October 2001, v850 architecture support</b> + <br> + + Miles Bader has contributed support for the v850 architecture. + + + <p> + <li> <b>25 Spetember 2001, header files updated</b> + <br> + + uClibc's header files are now in sync with glibc 2.2.4, + allowing better standards compliance, better portibility, and + better C++ support. + + <p> + <li> <b>4 July 2001, ARM shared library support</b> + <br> + + uClibc now has full shared library support on ARM. + + + <p> + <li> <b>9 May 2001, libm added</b> + <br> + + uClibc now has a very complete math library. + + + <p> + <p> <li> <b>9 May 2001, ld.so added</b> + <br> + + 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. + + + <p> <li> <b>15 March 2001, powerpc port added</b> + <br> + + David Schleef contributed a powerpc port, which is now in CVS. + + <p> <li> <b>19 February 2001, SH port added</b> + <br> + + Jean-Yves Avenard contributed an SH port. See his email + with the initial patch <a href="http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2001-February/000409.html">here</a>. + + <p> <li> <b>16 January 2001, uClibc as a shared library</b> + <br> + + As if January 16, uClibc can now be used (at least on x86) as a shared + library. See the <a href="http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2001-January/000126.html">email</a> + announcing this achievement. + + <p> <li> <b>11 January 2001, gcc wrapper added</b> + <br> + + 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. + + <p> <li> <b>3 January 2001, uClibc now has a web page</b> + <br> + + 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. + + +</ul> + + +<!-- End of Table --> + +</TD></TR> +</TABLE> +</P> + + + +<!-- Footer --> +<HR> +<TABLE WIDTH="100%"> + <TR> + <TD> + <font size="-1" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> + Mail all comments, insults, suggestions and bribes to + <a href="mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik Andersen</a><BR> + </font> + </TD> + + <TD> + <a href="http://www.vim.org"><img border=0 width=90 height=36 + src="images/written.in.vi.png" + alt="This site created with the vi editor"></a> + </TD> + + <TD> + <a href="http://www.gimp.org/"><img border=0 width=90 height=36 + src="images/gfx_by_gimp.png" alt="Graphics by GIMP"></a> + </TD> + + <TD> + <a href="http://www.linuxtoday.com"><img width=90 height=36 + src="images/ltbutton2.png" alt="Linux Today"></a> + </TD> + + <TD> + <p><a href="http://slashdot.org"><img width=90 height=36 + src="images/sdsmall.png" alt="Slashdot"></a> + </TD> + + <TD> + <a href="http://freshmeat.net"><img width=90 height=36 + src="images/fm.mini.png" alt="Freshmeat"></a> + </TD> + + </TR> +</TABLE> + + +</CENTER> +</BODY> +</HTML> + + |
