On that note: Is anybody using uClibc with CLFS yet? Backstory: Way back when, I built a Linux From Scratch variant (http://landley.net/code/firmware) that replaced glibc with uClibc and replaced almost all the other packages with BusyBox. I had to upgrade BusyBox significantly to make it work (which is how I wound up BusyBox maintainer). I believe my chapter 5 built the chroot environment out of just 7 packages (Mazur's linux-libc-headers, uClibc, binutils, gcc, make, BusyBox, and bash). I could chroot into that and build the rest. Doing this, I used User Mode Linux as a better fakeroot (so I could build as a normal user, without requiring root access), and now I'm trying to replace that with QEMU. This is why I've been poking at CLFS: as long as I'm doing that I might as well have QEMU run x86-64 or some such. :) I'm wondering if anybody else is working on something similar. The hard part is making gcc both cross compile and use uClibc at the same time (I've sort of got bits of it to work, but it's really time consuming and a bit of a pain to test). I could bite the bullet and get it working under glibc first, and then swap in uClibc, but... ick. :) Rob -- Never bet against the cheap plastic solution. _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfs-support
