CONFIGURING uClibc:

+ - Users must have a valid configuration file to compile uClibc. Do not
skip this step. New configuration options are added in each
release, and odd configuration options are sometimes removed.
To configure uClibc, you can run:
- make menuconfig
+ make menuconfig
or
- make config
+ make config
If you have an existing .config file, you can update this file
using the
- make oldconfig
+ make oldconfig
command, which will only ask you about new configuration options.
Available configuration commands are:
- "make config" Text based configuration, no menus or colors.
- "make menuconfig" Text based color menus, radiolists & dialogs.
- "make oldconfig" Default all questions based on the contents of
- your existing ./.config file.
- "make defconfig" Use defaults for all options.
- "make randconfig" Use random values for all options.
- "make allyesconfig" Set all values to "yes" for all options.
- "make allnoconfig" Set all values to "no" for all options.

- To compile programs with uClibc you will need a complete toolchain
