musl libc - a new standard library to power a new generation of
|
||
|
|
Linux-based devices. musl is lightweight, fast, simple, free, and
|
||
|
|
strives to be correct in the sense of standards-conformance and
|
||
|
|
safety.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
musl is an alternative to glibc, eglibc, uClibc, dietlibc, and klibc.
|
||
|

Greetings libc hackers!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package is an _alpha_ release of musl, intended for the curious
|
||
|
|
and the adventurous. While it can be used to build a complete small
|
||
|
|
Linux system (musl is self-hosted on the system I use to develop it),
|
||
|
|
at this point doing so requires a lot of manual effort. Nonetheless, I
|
||
|
|
hope low-level Linux enthusiasts will try out building some compact
|
||
|
|
static binaries with musl using the provided gcc wrapper (which allows
|
||
|
|
you to link programs with musl on a "standard" glibc Linux system),
|
||
|
|
find whatever embarassing bugs I've let slip through, and provide
|
||
|
|
feedback on issues encountered building various software against musl.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please visit #musl on Freenode IRC or contact me via email at dalias
|
||
|
|
AT etalabs DOT net for bug reports, support requests, or to get
|
||
|
|
involved in development. As this has been a one-person project so far,
|
||
|
|
mailing lists will be setup in due time on an as-needed basis.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thank you for trying out musl.
|
||
|
|
|

Cheers,
