50 | Since no one has volunteered to test and fix the above configurations, |
| 51 | these are not supported at the moment. It's expected that these don't | |
| 52 | work anymore. Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested | |
| 53 | in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers by sending | |
| b9b49b44 | 54 | electronic mail to <bug-glibc@gnu.org>. |

56 | There are some add-ons which can be used together with GNU libc. They |
| 57 | are designed in a way to ease the installation by integrating them in | |
| 58 | the libc source tree. Simply get the add-ons you need and use the | |
| 59 | --enable-add-ons option of the `configure' script to tell where the | |
| 60 | add-ons are found. Please read the FAQ file for more details. | |

| 28f540f4 | 62 | See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port |
| 5b826692 UD |
63 | the GNU C library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the |
| 64 | GNU libc at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html. | |

65 | |
| 66 | The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found | |
| 67 | in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and | |
| ea278354 UD |
68 | contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not |
| 69 | have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. | |
| 70 | Please send comments on the manual to <bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org>, and | |
| 28f540f4 RM |
71 | not to the library bug-reporting address. |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used | |
| 74 | in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what | |
| 75 | facilities you want it to make available. | |
| 76 | ||
| 5b826692 | 77 | We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which |
| f4017d20 | 78 | is installed together with the rest of the GNU libc to <bugs@gnu.org>. |
| 5b826692 | 79 | Simply run this shell script and fill in the information. Nevertheless |
| 74015205 | 80 | you can still send bug reports to <bug-glibc@gnu.org> as normal electronic |
| b9b49b44 | 81 | mails. |
| 28f540f4 RM |

| 83 | The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying | |
| 84 | conditions. |
