-diet libc to statically link programs that don't need all the bloat
-from glibc.
-
-malloc, printf and scanf contributed from Olaf Dreesen.
-
-To compile:
-
- $ make
-
-make should compile the diet libc itself without warnings. In addition
-to the diet libc, the default make target includes t, which is a test
-program and probably contains code which produces warnings. You can
-safely ignore them.
-
-When make is done, it will have created dietlibc.a in bin-i386 (or
-bin-ppc, bin-alpha, bin-sparc, bin-ppc or bin-arm, depending on your
-architecture). In that directory you will also find a program called
-"diet", which you need to copy in a directory in your $PATH:
-
- # install bin-i386/diet /usr/local/bin
-
-Then you can compile programs by prepending diet to the command line,
-i.e.
-
- $ diet gcc -s -Os -pipe -o t t.c
-
-diet is cross-compiler friendly and can also be used like this:
-
- $ diet sparc-linux-gcc -o t t.c
-
-diet will then link against dietlibc.a from bin-sparc, of course.
-diet comes with a man page (diet.1), which you can copy to an
-appropriate location, too:
-
- # cp diet.1 /usr/local/man/man1
-
-After you compiled the diet libc successfully, I invite you to check out
-the embedded utils (http://www.fefe.de/embutils/) and the diet libc
-binary repository (ftp://foobar.math.fu-berlin.de/pub/dietlibc/), too.
-The embedded utils are small replacements for common utilities like mv,
-chown, ls, and even a small tar that can extract tar files. The binary
-repository contains a few utilities I linked against the diet libc, for
-example gzip, bzip2 and fdisk.
