GLib on Embedded Linux

Is GLib suitable for embedded linux?
If so can glib be cross-compiled successfully?
If not what other options are available?

Thank you,
Prakash

Yes.
Yes.
Why?

I use it in my embedded Linux applications. Why are you concerned?

Thanks for your response.

I know there is uClibc for glibc.
But I believe that there is no similar embedded version for glib.
In the book tiled "EMBEDDED LINUX SYSTEM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT" there is a para saying
Normally, something like glib or the gnu utilities would not be for
embedded systems.
That's why I got little confused.
The other thing that I'm concerned is the memory foot print of glib on embedded Linux.
I am going to use only a small portion of the glib by static linking.

It really depends upon how much memory your system has. Systems that are very memory constrained will demand a minimalist approach to such components. However, given that many have 64MB or more RAM and 32bit processors, this is not so much a problem.

Ok. I'll give glib a try.
Thanks again for your time!
