30 This package contains my ELF dynamic linkers (ld-linux.so.1), dynamic
31 linker library (libdl.so.1) and utilities (ldconfig and ldd) for Linux.
33 You need Linux kernel 2.0.0 or later with ELF support compiled in
34 (i.e. not loaded as a module) to use this package.
36 The dynamic linker is used to bootstrap programs and load shared
37 libraries at startup. The dynamic linker library is used to
38 dynamically load shared libraries after a program is running.
39 Ldconfig is used to automatically update the symbolic links to shared
40 libraries and build the cache file used by the dynamic linker. Ldd is
41 used to list the shared libraries used by a program.
43 Please see the included manual pages for further details.
45 To install, simply run "sh instldso.sh" as root. Ready-to-go versions
46 of all end-products are provided so nothing should need to be compiled
47 or linked. If you are still using libc5 as your primary development
48 library, you should use the "--devfiles" option when running
49 instldso.sh to install the file needed to compile with libdl.
51 ELF versions of gcc, binutils and libc are now required to compile
52 everything, including the old, unsupported, a.out dynamic linker.
53 Finally, an optimization level of O2 or higher must be used to compile
54 ld-linux.so and libdl.so due the use of inline functions.
56 Notable contributors to this package include Eric Youngdale, Peter
57 MacDonald, Hongjiu Lu, Linus Torvalds, Lars Wirzenius, Mitch D'Souza,
58 Rik Faith, Andreas Schwab and Adam Richter (not necessarily in that
61 ###################### IMPORTANT NOTICES #############################
65 As of ld.so-1.9.0, the old, a.out dynamic loader is no longer
66 officially supported. The code is still included and built, but I
67 make no promises that it will work. I will accept patches for it,
68 but they will not be tested by me.
70 GLIBC (AKA LIBC6) SUPPORT:
72 As of ld.so-1.9.0, the main focus of this package is to ease the
73 transition to libc6. No significant, new features are expected to be
74 added. If you need new features, switch to libc6.
76 Except for libpthread.so, the sonames of the core libraries provided
77 with libc6 have been chosen so they do not conflict with those
78 provided by libc5 and ld.so. However, the current plan is not use
79 new, nonconflicting sonames for other libraries such as ncurses and
80 X11. This presents two problems. First, libraries using the same
81 soname for both libc5 and libc6 can not be placed in the same
82 directory. Second, the dynamic linkers need to make sure not to load
83 a library for the wrong version of libc.
85 The first problem is easy. Just move the old, libc5-based libraries
86 to new directories (e.g. /lib/libc5-compat, /usr/lib/libc5-compat,
87 etc.) and add those directories to /etc/ld.so.conf. Then install the
88 new, libc6-based versions in the standard places.
90 The second problem is more difficult. Ideally, the dynamic linkers
91 would be changed to perform a complete dependency analysis on every
92 library to be loaded to make sure the wrong versions aren't used.
93 This approach doesn't seem worth the added complexity, especially
94 since we now have symbol versioning for ELF libraries. Instead a
95 simpler approach will be used, at least initially.
97 Ldconfig has been modified to perform a (currently simple) dependency
98 analysis on libraries and to store an indication in /etc/ld.so.cache
99 of whether a library is for libc5, libc6 or an unknown libc. The
100 dynamic linkers then only need to make a simple check at run-time to
101 make sure they don't load the wrong version of a library.
103 The dynamic linker for libc5 provided in this package, has already
104 been modified to use the new information in /etc/ld.so.cache. For
105 glibc versions 2.0.1 and earlier, the dynamic linker for libc6 needs
106 the patch contained in glibc.patch. You should apply the patch and
107 rebuild glibc before using the new ldconfig.
109 As stated above, the dependency analysis currently done by ldconfig is
110 rather simple. Basically, it looks for the sonames used by the
111 various versions of libc, libm and libdl. For any approach using a
112 dependency analysis such as this to work, it is very important that
113 shared libraries be built with complete dependency information. This
114 can be done by using the appropriate -l options when running 'gcc
115 -shared'. For example, when building libfoo.so which depends on libc
116 and libbar, you should add -lbar and -lc gcc command line.

563 Changed ld-linux.so and libdl to use the appropriate
564 rpaths when searching for shared libraries (Eric

599 for ELF libraries that do not have an soname entry.
601 Changed ld-linux.so to print the actual, requested library
602 name at the time it is loaded instead of trying to figure
603 it out after the fact.

610 truncating the minor numbers from the image file name.
612 Changed ldconfig to no longer support the undocumented
615 Changed ld.so to require a valid cache to find libraries
616 in directories specified in ld.so.conf. /usr/lib and /lib

775 Fixed an obscure bug in ld.so where an index was not being
776 incremented when a library was not found using the cache.
778 Changes in version 1.4.2:
780 Changed ldconfig to issue a warning and continue instead
781 of an error and exiting when a link can't be updated.
782 This is useful when some libraries are imported on read-
783 only file systems, such as an NFS mounted /usr.
785 Changed ld.so to be more robust in searching for libraries.
786 A library is not considered found unless it can actually be
787 loaded. If a library is not found using the cache, the
788 standard directories are searched as in pre-cache versions.
790 Changes in version 1.4.1:
792 Fixed minor Makefile problems.
794 Added support for linux-68k.
796 Fixed a bug in ld.so where libraries with absolute paths
797 were not handled correctly.
799 Changed ld.so to ignore the directory in the names of
800 shared libraries by default. This allows older libraries
801 with absolute paths, such as the XView libraries, to take
802 advantage of the cache support.
804 Added a minimal usage message to ldconfig.
806 Changes in version 1.4:
808 Fixed bug in ld.so where minor version numbers were not
809 reported correctly when a minor version incompatibility
812 Fixed bug in ldconfig where libraries with subversion
813 numbers greater than 9 were not compared correctly.
815 Added Mitch D'Souza's support for suppressing warning
816 messages from ld.so about minor version incompatibilities.
818 Added Mitch D'Souza's support for using a cache to speed
819 up searching for libraries in the standard directories.
821 Added Mitch D'Souza's support for a debugging version of
822 ld.so. Link with -lldso if you think you are experiencing
823 dynamic linker problems.
825 Changes in version 1.3:
827 Added support for libraries using absolute pathnames. If I
828 had known that the XView libraries used them, I would have
831 Fixed a bug handling old libraries using a pathname beginning
834 Changes in version 1.2a:
836 Fixed a minor bug in ldd which caused all files, specifically
837 scripts, to be recognized as binaries. Thanks to Olaf Flebbe
