The idea is to build a standalone library of posix compatible functions from gnulib that will make writing and porting programs that use the POSIX APIs easier; and without worrying so much about the (often spotty and imperfect) POSIX compatibility of the native libraries - ideally reducing the size and complexity of the configuration of projects that stick to documented POSIX apis considerably, and in any case saving drastically on the requirement to copy a large number of gnulib modules into many separate projects as would otherwise be necessary (as is the case right now in fact). Building it should be a matter of: $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git $ cd gnulib $ git checkout topic/libposix $ cd libposix $ ./bootstrap $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install There are still some pending issues and feedback to be incorporated before it can be merged back into master. > Also, is there any relationship with > http://libposix.sourceforge.net/ ? I was not aware of that project, so no... no relation :) Cheers, - -- Gary V.
