I'm curious if anyone has had any success in going "beyond LFS" by using uClibc instead of Glibc. I'm supposing that there will be some changes needed to the steps needed for building some of the applications mentioned in Beyond Linux from Scratch, but my understanding of uClibc is that it aims to be source-compatible with glibc, so that in theory, I could build all of the packages mentioned in BLFS without (too many) problems.
Before I make the attempt, though, I wanted to get any potential feedback from the users on this list. A potential pitfall that I understand is that uClib is likely to be less reliable than Glibc because most developers probably focus testing their code against glibc. Still, I would be interested in building a uClibc-based system all the way up to X.org, GTK, and Qt, if possible, and feel how it compares to the glibc-based distributions I'm used to. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
