1 This directory contains the version VERSION test release of the GNU C Library.
2 Some bugs surely remain.
4 As of this release, the GNU C library has been ported to: sparcs and Sun 3s
5 running SunOS 4.1, HP 300s running 4.3 BSD, and MIPS DECStations running
6 Ultrix 4.2. The port to the i386 running either System V, SVR4, or BSD, is
7 mostly complete but has not been well tested. Porting the library is not
8 hard. If you are interested in doing a port, please get on the mailing
9 list bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu
11 See the file INSTALL for how to configure, build, install, and port the GNU
14 The manual for the GNU C library is still being worked on, and is not yet
15 distributed. The file Q+A contains a few questions you're likely to have,
18 The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used in
19 the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what facilities

22 Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.
24 The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
27 Please do not send patches for the file `Makeconfig'. That file is for
28 configuration. You are meant to change it to suit your needs.
30 Please note that there are some files in the distribution whose names
31 exceed 14 characters in length. None of these files are needed to build
32 the library on System V, where a 14 character limit on the length of file
33 names is imposed, so this is harmless.
