Well, I would tend to defeat gobolinux hierarchy, naturally :-) I like it just to be able to keep each program on its directory, as I have here for my gp32linux mini-distro: /Depot/GP32Linux/Programs] ls BusyBox Fontconfig GoboHide JPEG LibPNG Matchbox SDL UClibc ZLib Expat FreeType GPM LibOGG LibVorbis RXVT SDL_mixer Xserver But I think we can discuss about this later; it's really just a matter of having an easy way to ship packages and install them easilly. > Personally, I think that uClibc is great due to its light memory > footprint, but it sometimes makes some program unable/harder to compile... > > Is there a way tu use both libs? Yes, but when using glibc you'll need to compile your project statically. I don't consider using glibc on the distribution, as it's large both in memory footprint and in size. > Fo the compilers, we have a working gcc-2.95 and gcc-3.3.1 (I think), > both based on uClibc. > The latter does not support large file functions, it is very annoying > for some software (like mplayer) > > So I think we need a new one. I'm using a cross-compiler downloaded from codesourcery.com/gnu_toolchains. It's based on GCC 3.4.2 and is generating very nice programs here. It's also interesting to use a newer GCC release to be able to compile the kernel, as GCC 2.9x will not do the job. -- Lucas powered by /dev/dsp |
