# relibc 
|
|
relibc is a portable POSIX C standard library written in Rust. It is under heavy development, and currently supports Redox and Linux.
|
|
|
|
The motivation for this project is twofold: Reduce issues the redox crew was having with newlib, and create a safer alternative to a C standard library written in C. It is mainly designed to be used under redox, as an alternative to newlib, but it also supports linux syscalls via the [sc](https://crates.io/crates/sc) crate.

|
## Building
|
|
Just run `make all`.
|
|
|
|
### Issues
|
|
#### I'm building for my own platform which I run, and am getting `x86_64-linux-gnu-ar: command not found` (or similar)
|
|
The Makefile expects the gnu compiler tools prefixed with the platform specifier, as would be present when you'd install a cross compiler. Since you are building for your own platform, some distros (like Manjaro) don't install/symlink the prefixed executables.
|
|
An easy fix would be to replace the corresponding lines in the Makefile, e.g.
|
|
```diff
|
|
ifeq ($(TARGET),x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
|
|
export CC=x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
|
|
- export LD=x86_64-linux-gnu-ld
|
|
- export AR=x86_64-linux-gnu-ar
|
|
+ export LD=ld
|
|
+ export AR=ar
|
|
export OBJCOPY=x86_64-linux-gnu-objcopy
|
|
endif
|
|
```
