[Devil-linux-develop] glibc

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey guys,

I just added the compilation of glibc plus the current Debian patches for it to the build system.
I hope you don't have a slow compilation machine, otherwise it could take a couple of hours. ;-)

This was necessary in order to get an up to date version of glibc and to add support for compiling for different CPUs.

maybe it's time for us to use the compilation farm at sourceforge ??

The problem is, we need a special LFS environment in order to compile DL.
You always have to keep in mind, it's not a program, we compile an entire distribution.

On my Pentium 4 mobile 1.8 GHz it took about 30 minutes to compile and install the glibc.

not sure if we can get access to ftp out, but sf give us a shell with access to the csv, compilers etc... maybe maybe maybe? :)

I just checked the SF website, the quota is 256MB with an 256MB 
overdraft for 7 days.
This is really not enough for compiling DL.

1.1G    .

Without compiling glibc, so I guess we'll need much more then.

Re: [Devil-linux-develop] glibc

I have been meaning to offer.

I have cable modem, and a linux server... for the time being, I update my
website w/ my DHCP supplied address http://www.thinman.com everytime I reboot. 
Sometime soon I will be getting back my "router" from Siemans so my network
will be back in shape and a array of servers can be available.  I will also be
getting a Dynamic DHCP account from http://dyndns.org .

Also the linux society has a box, http://209.61.182.150 .  The man w/ the root
password has been delaying giving it to me.  I will have to take care of that.

If you want the user password for this box I can give it to you encrypted, or
over the phone.

If either of these options interest you, please let me know.  The plus of my
network is that its mine.  The linux society server is in Rackspace in Texas
and I am not sure how flexible they will be.  But since the support us... maybe
they will be interested in DL as a sponsorship.  In fact... (thinking,
thinking) this may be an opportunity to create reduncancy against the day that
SF stops being so generous.


====
About uClibc, there is a little method to the madness.  
====
I am thinking of a distro system that uses BusyBox as the Initrd where the
Initrd is the basis of the whole system and includes the OS, SSH and OS related
packages, and IPTABLES as the kernel default.  The server packages, however,
would almost be considered value-added products, coming from the tradiional
linux sources, even possibly proprietary vendors.

Keeping the inital distro tiny gives it the flexibility to go anywhere (like
bad girls do ;) ) -- including my favorite target, the cell phone.

Also let me add, that I am enrolling in an interdisiplinary college to finish
my degree and the linux society management will be my focus.  eLSD is of course
DL warmed over.

The shell access exists, but SF is stingy about disk space. I used it once to
store some packages using SSH for transport and then thought better of it.

On the topic of glibc, has anyone given thought to uClibc ??  It is the
official compiler of the embedded linux market and many apps are being ported
to it.  It is second cousin to BusyBox and is owned by the same person.

It's the same reason why we use less Busybox applets: the limited 
functionality.
Some stuff is just not supported by uClibc or some programs do not 
support it.
The only good reason to use this library is to save space, but we have 
lot's of it.
