Not like we expected anything else ;-). |

Nothing like suprising people. |

With regard to uclibc in a product you've seen |
| 23 |

Also there is irc://irc.freenode.org:6667/#gentoo-embedded for a general |

chat / catchup / issues / direction and other stuff. |

There is a masked version (underdevelopment) in sys-devel/uclibc-buildroot |
| 36 |
(env ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" USE="debug" emerge sys-devel/uclibc-buildroot). |
| 37 |
It compiles ok I'm just fixing a few install things over the next few days. |
| 38 |
It is based off the buildroot toolchain off uclibc.org. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
What it provides is a root fileystem (/var/lib/root_$ARCH) that can be run in |
| 41 |
a chroot or be used to create a filesystem image. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Also there is a uclibc crosscompiler /usr/${ARCH}-linux-uclibc/bin/gcc. I'm |
| 44 |
going to get gcc-config (package) to be able to switch between a native glibc |
| 45 |
compiler and the uclibc one to emergeing packages can be done with env |
| 46 |
ROOT=/var/lib/root_${ARCH} emerge ..... Although this feature is in portage I |
| 47 |
get the feeling it hasn't been extensively tested so always use the -p |
| 48 |
pretend option with emerge first. Also there is no guarentee that this will |
| 49 |
work with every package however we aim to get the common ones working. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
In the meantime you can test your libraries and source code can be compiled |
| 52 |
with uclibc would be a good start. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Looking forward to seeing you around. |
