NEWLIB C include/library

[TC61]

i want to use the NEWLIB C library ... can someone provide a guide on how to configure openwrt ??

@TC61, welcome to the community!

Your inquiry is not clear, what do you want to use the library for?

Is it:

• to compile an image?
• to compile/assemble an a.out file on the OpenWrt itself?
• to cross compile a package?

(I listed them in descending order - of which is probably most difficult.)

Next, it should be noted that:

• the library you noted is not listed in the Table of Packages
• OpenWrt currently uses musl - in the past, it used uClibc
• The GNU Standard C++ Library is available as a package on OpenWrt

thank you for response. i am trying to cross compile some software in openwrt environment, and it included bunch of headers (such as ieeefp.h, reentry.h) that is only found in newlib include.

i am not familiar with how to

1. grab this package
2. configure openwrt to use this as the new cross compiler

OK, I moved your thread to the For Developers section. Hopefully this will bring readers more tuned to what you're seeking.
