Libc Version : none

Hello Following the guide uClinuxDist, i am in the menu (make menuconfig). I wonder why do i have to select "Libc Version" to "none" ? Actually, if no library is available in the kernel, no...

I think i have understand, Michael.

There is no dynamic library (.so) in the NoMMU version of uCLinux for NIOSII because we select none in the libc menu.

So the programs that will run on the board can't use dynamic libraries. They have to use a static library : the uclibc compiled with the cross toolchain, the uclibc library archive (.a).

And the resulting compilation of the program is so bigger than with dynamic libraries.

Is it right ?
