Since no one has volunteered to test and fix the above configurations,
|
|
|
|
|
these are not supported at the moment. It's expected that these don't
|
|
|
|
|
work anymore. Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested
|
|
|
|
|
in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers by sending
|
1997-12-28 16:01:53 +00:00
|
|
|
electronic mail to <bug-glibc@gnu.org>.

There are some add-ons which can be used together with GNU libc. They
|
|
|
|
|
are designed in a way to ease the installation by integrating them in
|
|
|
|
|
the libc source tree. Simply get the add-ons you need and use the
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-add-ons option of the `configure' script to tell where the
|
|
|
|
|
add-ons are found. Please read the FAQ file for more details.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
|
1997-01-25 02:36:37 +00:00

|
|
the GNU C library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the
|
|
|
|
|
GNU libc at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html.

The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
|
|
|
|
|
in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and
|
1998-03-05 14:03:24 +00:00
|
|
|
contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
|
|
|
|
|
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.
|
|
|
|
|
Please send comments on the manual to <bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org>, and
|
1995-02-18 01:27:10 +00:00
|
|
|
not to the library bug-reporting address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1997-01-25 02:36:37 +00:00
|
|
|
We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which
|
1997-11-26 04:23:08 +00:00
|
|
|
is installed together with the rest of the GNU libc to <bugs@gnu.org>.
|
1997-01-25 02:36:37 +00:00
|
|
|
Simply run this shell script and fill in the information. Nevertheless
|
1998-01-21 17:04:36 +00:00
|
|
|
you can still send bug reports to <bug-glibc@gnu.org> as normal electronic
|
1997-12-28 16:01:53 +00:00
|
|
|
mails.

these additional notices to be distributed.
