1 This directory contains the version 1.93 test release of the GNU C Library.
2 Many bugs have been fixed since the last release.
3 Some bugs surely remain.
5 As of this release, the GNU C library has been ported to the following
18 i[345]86-force_cpu386-none
32 Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a port,
33 please get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to
34 bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu.
36 The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
37 provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.
38 Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations,
39 we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C
40 library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is
41 called `glibc-1.93-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt
42 distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can
43 also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA
44 can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk
45 [129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive
46 maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives
47 outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this
48 distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a
49 site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws.
51 See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
54 The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
55 in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and
56 contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have
57 the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. Please
58 send comments on the manual to bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu, and
59 not to the library bug-reporting address.
61 The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used
62 in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what
63 facilities you want it to make available.
65 Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.
67 The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
