| | Glibc 2 HOWTO |
 | | Glibc 2 is now part of the base package of the hamm version of Debian, and will be the primary libc when Debian 2.0 is released. | | | On Linux, glibc 2 is used as the libc with major version 6, the successor of the Linux libc 5. | | | The most recent glibc version is generally not available as a binary package, and it is strongly recommended that you run the most recent version to avoid bugs. |

| | Installing Glibc-2.2.4 - Andamooka Reader |
| | This is because as we don't have glibc on the LFS system yet, usernames can't be resolved to their user id's. | | | Glibc needs a null device to compile properly. | | | If this file doesn't exist, the installation will abort with an error that it can't read the file, so we simply create an empty file (the empty file will have Glibc default to using /lib and /usr/lib which is fine). |

| | Systems with glibc 2.1 will not even attempt to run binaries generated with glibc 2.2.x so there is not much to worry about. | | | glibc is big, but this is necessary for a multi-platform Unix library. | | | Another reason why not everybody should think about compiling glibc is the disk and CPU requirements: on Intel platforms the full build requires about 330MB plus the space you need to install it. |

| | The test cases show that glibc can be componentized with reasonable granularity at the object level, and although not as fine as at the symbol level, this process is far easier and requires less effort from all parties involved. | | | The glibc library set consists of 21 libraries and the linker (ld.so); Table 1 lists all of them and their respective sizes. | | | Because there is only one source tree to maintain, whenever glibc is updated so are all the minimal libraries built from glibc. |

| | SGI TPL View (Glibc-Install-HOWTO) |
| | The glibc package contains a library written in the programming language of C. Libraries are a very useful thing in programming; instead of inventing the wheel from scratch for operations such as computing the square-root of a number, such common functions are stored in separate files—the so-called libraries. | | | You may identify them by looking at their version number, which should be the same as the one from your glibc installation (in my example all files fitted to the scheme lib*-2.2.4), and of course by the creation date and time. | | | Since you may need to compile something if a problem occurs with the new glibc, it is a good idea to have it static, otherwise it might not work after an error appears. |

| | A Technical Comparison of glibc 2.x With Legacy System Libraries |
| | Red Hat Software, following this lead, decided to switch to using glibc as the main C library for their C distribution, and released Red Hat Linux 5.0 in December of 1997, with glibc 2.0.5c serving in this role. | | | This gives UNIX software developers confidence that software that uses the POSIX.1 Application Programming Interface (API) is portable between Linux and other UNIX-like systems. | | | Other distributions, most notable Debian GNU/Linux, are planning to switch to glibc in the future, too. |

| | phorum - Slackware Devel - i686 glibc |
| | The necessity of an i686 optimized glibc is - i think - self-motivated, as it is required for almost every single stuff we compile shared with i686 optimizations. | | | I do compile most of the stuff myself (not only for optimizations but also for educational purposes, i like to study at least a part of the source before), but there are others who don't and I guess an i686 glibc would make the difference for those. | | | I don't want to get into a "modern machines become more and suffocated by non optimized i386 code, it's not just the clock speed that matters" debate as it would lead to nowhere. |

| | Rebuilding the GNU C Library (glibc) |
| | For example, when glibc 2.3.3 was released the glibc developers did not recommend that users build it at all; oddly enough this critical tidbit of information did not make its way into the packaged documentation. | | | Messing with glibc can potentially damage your system, make your system inoperable, and is generally considered a bonehead idea unless you know what you're doing. | | | With glibc, it's a mixed answer: upgrading for better (and less buggy) library routines versus any potential system incompatibilities. |
