| Lots of other applications! |
|
|
If you use an application with uClibc, let me know. |
| BusyBox |
all (stable+CVS) |
|
Busybox is a small replacement for most major Unix tools. All
versions of BusyBox work with uClibc without changes.
|
| TinyLogin |
all (stable+CVS) |
|
A small replacement for login, getty, passwd, adduser, deluser, etc. |
| XFree86 |
pcmcia-cs-3.1.29.tar.gz |
TinyX + uClibc howto |
XFree86 is the underlying software that is between the hardware and graphical user
interface (aka gui) that people see and use. It provides the standard windowing
system for most Linux systems. |
| pcmcia-cs |
pcmcia-cs-3.1.29.tar.gz |
|
A complete Linux PCMCIA support package. |
| uDHCP |
udhcp-0.9.5.tar.gz |
|
A tiny but fully RFC compliant DHCP client and/or server. |
| gdbserver |
gdb-5.1 |
By default gdbserver does not get built with gdb, at least for x86. But
once gdb is built (I just built it against glibc), you can change
gdb/gdbserver/Makefile to use xxx-uclibc-gcc, and then run make in that
directory. |
gdbserver allows you to debug applications running on a remote system. |
| lrzsz |
lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz |
|
lrzsz is a unix communication package providing the XMODEM, YMODEM ZMODEM file transfer protocols. |
| Microwindows |
CVS version |
|
Microwindows is a small windowing system similar to the X Window System. |
| MAD: MPEG Audio Decoder |
mad-0.13.0b |
./configure --disable-nls |
MAD is a high-quality MPEG audio decoder. It currently supports MPEG-1
and the MPEG-2 extension to Lower Sampling Frequencies, as well as the
so-called MPEG 2.5 format. All three audio layers (Layer I, Layer II, and
Layer III a.k.a. MP3) are fully implemented. It also supports doing
fixed point math, so it works great on FPU-less chips like ARM. |
| zlib |
zlib-1.1.3 |
|
zlib is a compression library. Works great. |
| newt |
all versions |
|
Newt is a curses based text windowing library. Very useful for making console applications. |
| ncurses |
5.2 |
|
ncurses is a standard terminal handling library.
|
| slang |
1.4.4 |
|
Slang does the same sort of thing that ncurses does -- and with a bit of wrapper code
can act as a full replacement. Very useful for making console applications (such as newt).
Because the full slang provides many other things, I personally use a massively cut down version
called minislang, which also works great,
handles the ncurses type slang APIs only, and is just 80k compiled vs uClibc.
|
| LSH |
1.2.5 |
patch |
A relatively small implementation of the SSH protocol. |
| flash-0.9.5 |
0.9.5 |
|
A secure menuing shell. |
| djbdns |
1.0.5 |
|
D. J. Bernstein's DNS implementation. |
| netfilter/iptables |
latest |
IP6 not working yet |
IP packet filtering tools for use with 2.4.4+ Linux kernels. |
| pppd |
2.4.1 |
|
ppp (Paul's PPP Package) is an open source package which
implements the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). |
| util-linux |
2.11m |
|
A suite of essential utilities for any Linux system. |
| boa webserver |
0.94.11 |
|
Boa is a very small, high performance web server. |
| GNU binutils |
2.11.2 |
Add CFLAGS+=-D__FORCE_NOGLIBC |
The GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities. |
| openssl |
openssl-0.9.6b |
|
A robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, Open Source toolkit
implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer
Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose
cryptography library. 'make test' completes without any failures. |
| e2fsprogs |
1.25 |
|
The filesystem utilities for the ext2 and ext2 filesystems. |
| LILO bootloader |
22.1 |
|
Lilo is a Boot loader for Linux/x86 and other PC operating systems. |
| Bluez Bluetooth stack |
latest |
|
BlueZ is implementation of Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux.
Originally BlueZ was developed by Qualcomm Incorporated and then
became an Open Source project. |
| Linux wireless tools |
latest |
|
The Wireless Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs. The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as the driver support Wireless Extension). Another advantage is these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the driver (or Linux). |
| libpng |
1.0.9 |
|
The reference library implementing the Portable Network Graphics
format, a really nifty (and patent free) image format. Passes 'make test' without problems. |
| libjpeg |
jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz |
|
The Independent JPEG Group's implementation of the JPEG
image compression format. Passes 'make test' just fine |
