Well, support for glibc will of douse stay in T2, and likely continue to be the default (for now). However, T2 is all about having the build “receipt” for optional alternatives. We had support for uclibc (probably should update that to uclibc-ng sometime soon), as well as dietlibc for over a decade. So for smaller, embedded systems, virtual machine containers musl might be preferable. A decade ago I liked dietlibc, but it never gained real serious maintenance. While the author is known for his rather bold attitude towards other code and companies on his blog, I found dietlibc not to be that particular high quality, it is mostly small, and could receive more serious and ongoing development and code cleanup. In some ways musl is a little bigger, but more seriously and cleanly maintained than dietlibc. I now use musl for the first time, I had to tweak quite some stuff to make it build and work. I will only now see how it will work out in practise. I might try to use it on my Sony Vaio P, which has a 1st gen (IIRC) Atom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suCj4eulTJg&t=1s Oh, and maybe try it on the Sgi Octane another week or months ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTCPg7NF0_g&t=640s Have a nice Sunday, René > thanks > scsijon > > On 10/02/19 09:09, René Rebe wrote: >> Hey there, >> I spent quite some time on advancing and readying Musl C library support in >> T2. >> As usually I practised turning this into an educational YouTub video series: >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0vcCkMN6IY >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_KOhUPJkn0 >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewGQ7pSBirs >> You can watch thru all of them, e.g. later, when you have a cold, or travel, >> or so. >> I tested this mostly on x86-64 and published a mostly working ISO - oh; I >> also >> added GRUB 2 ISO boot support and man was that an extra pain in the … >> to clobber together in times of missing proper low level documentation: >> So this is the first Musl and GRUB2 based T2 binary release: >> https://dl.t2sde.org/binary/2019/ >> As usual, if you like to support all the countless hours I spend on >> development, >> and making everything more awesome don’t forget to share, like and subscribe, >> or donate thru Patreon: http://patreon.com/renerebe or directly on our site >> via >> PayPal: >> https://t2sde.org/download/ >> As usual thanks for watching, and all the Patreons! >> Have a nie weekend – obviously best w/ T2 ;-) >> René > > > > ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to > unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to > [email protected] with a subject of: unsubscribe t2 -- ExactCODE GmbH, Lietzenburger Str. 42, DE-10789 Berlin DE Legal: Amtsgericht Berlin (Charlottenburg) HRB 105123B, Tax-ID#: DE251602478 Managing Director: René Rebe http://exactcode.com | http://exactscan.com | http://ocrkit.com | http://t2-project.org | http://rene.rebe.de
