Trying Out MUSL

MUSL is a C standart library installation. It is an alternative to prominent glibc implementation. I have taken glibc for granted throughout my programming journey until Alpine Linux has brought it my attention.

MUSL can be installed via following simple installation steps.

git clone git://git.musl-libc.org/musl
cd musl
./configure
make

MUSL-GCC is under

/usr/local/musl/bin

Add this folder to your path. We can now use musl-gcc to compile our C projects with MUSL C implementation.
