| +This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
|
| +See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.
|
| +
|
| +The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
|
| +and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the
|
| +system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
|
| +as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
|
| +languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.
|
| +
|
| +In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
|
| +implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
|
| +In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
|
| +
|
| +The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
|
| +GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current
|
| +GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
|
| +incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.
|
| +
|
| +When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
|
| +requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later on all architectures except
|
| +i[4567]86 and x86_64, where Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later
|
| +suffices.
|
| +
|
| +Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
|
| +installed for the pthread library to work correctly.
|
| +
|
| +The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:
|
| +
|
| + aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
|
| + alpha*-*-linux-gnu
|
| + arm-*-linux-gnueabi
|
| + hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches.
|
| + i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
|
| + x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32
|
| + ia64-*-linux-gnu
|
| + m68k-*-linux-gnu
|
| + microblaze*-*-linux-gnu
|
| + mips-*-linux-gnu
|
| + mips64-*-linux-gnu
|
| + powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
|
| + powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian.
|
| + s390-*-linux-gnu
|
| + s390x-*-linux-gnu
|
| + sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
|
| + sparc*-*-linux-gnu
|
| + sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
|
| + tilegx-*-linux-gnu
|
| + tilepro-*-linux-gnu

| +If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
|
| +maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
|
| +information.
|
| +
|
| +See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
|
| +the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
|
| +the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.
|
| +
|
| +The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
|
| +found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated
|
| +and 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. For
|
| +corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
|
| +following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check
|
| +the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
|
| +already been corrected.
|
| +
|
| +Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
|
| +information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
|
| +This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.
|
| +
|
| +The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
|
| +conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
|
| +these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be
|
| +listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
|
| +the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
|
| +individually.
