Vladimir all those packages you just mentioned are in DetaolB, which is a host native x86/uclibc as a live distro. Please have a look at it (link is in my signature) and if you need more packages I can add them. In a close future, I'll provide a static toolchain to bootstrap whichever version you want to build. Keep an eye to this mailing list, as I usually announce new releases here. -- Christian -- http://detaolb.sourceforge.net/, a linux distribution for Qemu with Git inside ! _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
