Hi everybody,
I'm a relatively new VDR user and very happy with it. As I like to fiddle with such things, I've tried to compile it against uclibc instead of glibc. This worked without problems, but it turned out to be slightly more complicated due to VDR's use of a glibc extension to the sscanf function ("%a[..."), which is defined in another way in C99.
VDR uses this only when parsing config files. It was easy to implement a small dirty hack that works around this, but it would be easy to construct a clean patch, too.
If there is demand for such a patch, please give me a short notice, I'll post it here, then. Of course this doesn't make much sense if VDR is focussing on glibc only - I can live fine with the hack...
I'm currently happily running VDR (1.3.34) from a uclibc-based system and haven't noticed any problems yet.
