If you are interested in doing a port, +please get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to +bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu. + +The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which +provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. +Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, +we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C +library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is +called `glibc-1.09.5-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt +distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can +also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA +can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk +[129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive +maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives +outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this +distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a +site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws. + +See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port +the GNU C library. + +The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found +in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and +contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have +the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. Please +send comments on the manual to bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu, and +not to the library bug-reporting address. + +The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used +in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what +facilities you want it to make available. + +Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu. + +The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying +conditions. |
