52 | Since no one has volunteered to test and fix the above configurations, |
53 | these are not supported at the moment. It's expected that these don't | |
54 | work anymore. Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested | |
55 | in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers by sending | |
74015205 | 56 | electronic mail to <bug-glibc@gnu.org>. |

58 | There are some add-ons which can be used together with GNU libc. They |
59 | are designed in a way to ease the installation by integrating them in | |
60 | the libc source tree. Simply get the add-ons you need and use the | |
61 | --enable-add-ons option of the `configure' script to tell where the | |
62 | add-ons are found. Please read the FAQ file for more details. | |

65 | the GNU C library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the |
66 | GNU libc at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html. | |

68 | The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found | |
69 | in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and | |
6f5ea8c7 UD |
70 | contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not |
71 | have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. | |
72 | Please send comments on the manual to <bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org>, and | |
28f540f4 RM |
73 | not to the library bug-reporting address. |
74 | ||
75 | The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used | |
76 | in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what | |
77 | facilities you want it to make available. | |
78 | ||
bdf289b2 | 79 | We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which |
b9b49b44 | 80 | is installed together with the rest of the GNU libc to <bugs@gnu.org>. |
bdf289b2 | 81 | Simply run this shell script and fill in the information. Nevertheless |
566efee2 | 82 | you can still send bug reports to <bug-glibc@gnu.org> as normal electronic |
74015205 | 83 | mails. |
