1 This directory contains the version 1.94 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 is known to run on the following
9 i[3456]86-*-linux Linux-2.0 on Intel
10 m68k-*-linux Linux-2.0 on Motorola 680x0
11 alpha-*-linux Linux-2.0 on DEC Alpha
14 Former releases of this library (version 1.09.1 and perhaps earlier
15 versions) used to run on the following configurations:
25 i[3456]86-force_cpu386-none
39 Whether this is still true for this release is unknown. Porting the
40 library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a port, please
41 get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to
42 bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu.
44 The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
45 provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.
46 Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations,
47 we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C
48 library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is
49 called `glibc-1.94-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt
50 distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can
51 also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA
52 can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk
53 [129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive
54 maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives
55 outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this
56 distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a
57 site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws.
59 See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
62 The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
63 in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and
64 contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have
65 the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. Please
66 send comments on the manual to bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu, and
67 not to the library bug-reporting address.
69 The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used
70 in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what
71 facilities you want it to make available.
73 Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.
75 The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
