Working Applications List

- - These days, pretty much everything compiles with uClibc. This - is a list of applications that are known - to work just fine with uClibc. Since most applications work just - fine with uClibc, we are especially interested in knowing about any - applications that either do not compile or do not work - properly with uClibc.

  • 13 November 2003, uClibc 0.9.23 Released -
    - - CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of - uClibc 0.9.23. Of course, we are somewhat less than pleased that there - were configuration problems in the previous release that made such it - necessary to release .23 so quickly. Updated uClibc development systems - using uClibc 0.9.23 are being built and will be posted shortly. And Erik - has built Debian stable (woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great. - -

    - - This release continues to be binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and - 0.9.22 -- as long as you pick compatible configuration options. Enabling - or disabling things like soft-float, locale, wide char support, or changing - cpu optimizations are all good examples of binary incompatible - configuration options. If have changed any of those sorts of options (or - if you are not sure!) you will need to recompile all your applications and - libraries. - -

    - - As usual, the - Changelog, - detailed changelog, - and source code for this release - are available here. - -

  • 8 November 2003, uClibc 0.9.22 Released -
    - - CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of - uClibc 0.9.22. This release has been cooking for a couple of months now - and is looking quite solid. We have done quite a lot of testing with this - release and things are looking good. And Erik has built Debian stable - (woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great. Expect that to be released - in the next few days. - -

    - - This release is binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 -- as long as you pick - compatible configuration options. Enabling or disabling things like - soft-float, locale, wide char support, or changing cpu optimizations are - all good examples of binary incompatible configuration options. If have - changed any of those sorts of options (or if you are not sure!) you will - need to recompile all your applications and libraries. - -

    - - Updated uClibc development systems using uClibc 0.9.22 will be made - available within a few days. Meanwhile, we invite you to try out uClibc - with the latest Linux Test Project - test suite (you will need to apply a small patch. - And also give the latest Perl and Python test suites a try as well. - If you find any bugs in uClibc, PLEASE let us know! -

  • 30 September 2003, dev systems updated to uClibc 0.9.21+ -
    - - The uClibc development systems for - i386, - powerpc, - arm, - mips, - have been updated to uClibc 0.9.21 (plus all the CVS updates up to - today). Several problems have been fixed up, - gcc has been updated to version 3.3.1, binutils was updated to 2.14.90.0.6, and - tada everything finally works for cross compiling. These were - all cross compiled (which really makes things faster since the older - mipsel releases used to take 2 days to build!) - -

    - These are ~100 MB ext2 filesystems that run natively on the specified - architecture. They contains all the development software you need to build - your own uClibc applications, including bash, coreutils, findutils, - diffutils, patch, sed, ed, flex, bison, file, gawk, tar, grep gdb, strace, - make, gcc, g++, autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh perl, - and more. And of course, everything is dynamically linked against uClibc. - By using a uClibc only system, you can avoid all the painful - cross-configuration problems that have made using uClibc somewhat painful - in the past. If you want to quickly get started with testing or using - uClibc you should give these images a try. You can loop mount and them - you can chroot into them, you can boot into with using user-mode Linux, - and you can even 'dd' them to a spare partition and use resize2fs to make - them fill the drive. Whatever works for you. - -

    If you would like to build your own custom uClibc system, you can - use buildroot, which is - how these uClibc development systems were created. -
