| # 04:37:40 | cpackham[m]2 | hey bhundven |
| # 04:39:05 | cpackham[m]2 | Had a look at that PR. Not sure how it actually fixes the problem |
| # 04:40:02 | cpackham[m]2 | How does the make version affect the install paths. |
| # 04:41:02 | veremitz | anyone here actively working with uclibc still? |
| # 04:41:36 | cpackham[m]2 | @ve |
| # 04:41:43 | veremitz | or anyone know anyone else who is .. :D |
| # 04:42:22 | cpackham[m]2 | veremitz: not personally but as far as I know it's still a supported thing. |
| # 04:42:53 | cpackham[m]2 | ct-ng still has it as an option. as does buildroot. |
| # 04:43:12 | cpackham[m]2 | Not sure about yocto or openembedded |
| # 04:43:52 | veremitz | yeah I sorta see activity here and there, and yet nobody admits to knowing anything about it lol |
| # 04:44:35 | veremitz | I keep stumbling into silly issues with it .. like .. building python with ncurses/tinfo .. or .. openssl on ARM .. or .. |
| # 04:44:46 | veremitz | other crap |
| # 04:45:13 | cpackham[m]2 | I think the problem for uclibc is that the core issue it solved was addressed by eglibc and eventually adopted by glibc |
| # 04:46:00 | veremitz | yeah .. musl seems to be The alternative to glibc these days .. if you want something lightweight |
| # 04:46:05 | cpackham[m]2 | Do you actually need to be using uclibc or is it just a case of the cost of switching |
| # 04:46:12 | veremitz | And its very actively developed |
| # 04:46:52 | veremitz | I am not sure I'm gonna continue attempting to use it .. its more carrying on a legacy compatibility |
| # 04:47:23 | cpackham[m]2 | The other advantage for musl is that it's got some high profile adoptions |
| # 04:47:32 | cpackham[m]2 | namely Rust and Alpine linux |
| # 04:48:00 | cpackham[m]2 | If you do need to stick with uclibc. I'd definitely recommend having a look at buildroot |
| # 04:48:38 | cpackham[m]2 | You'll probably find that they are carrying the patches you need to get the packages you want building |
| # 04:48:58 | veremitz | right .. I'll refresh myself on their upstream repo |
| # 04:49:09 | veremitz | alpine is a good resource for musl patches :D |
| # 04:49:27 | cpackham[m]2 | musl has it's own challenges. |
| # 04:49:46 | veremitz | it does |
| # 04:49:54 | veremitz | +indeed |
| # 04:49:56 | cpackham[m]2 | They're very anti actually detecting the libc version |
| # 04:50:07 | veremitz | with good reason :) |
| # 04:50:12 | veremitz | I happen to agree with Rick there |
| # 04:50:49 | veremitz | https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/tree/master/package aha here we are .. thanks for the tip |
