Using older GLIBC version

Lekha · 08-23-2006, 05:27 AM

Hello, all

I need to compile program on one computer and then to distribute binary to other computers, where GLIBC is older. Computer, where I'm compiling has glibc-2.4-8, other computers - glibc-2.2.5-44

Problem is that I can't upgrade them - there are 100s of them. So, could you advise me something? I've got errors:
./program.out: /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by ./libmono.so.0)
./program.out: /lib/i686/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by ./libmono.so.0)
./program.out: /lib/i686/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by ./libmono.so.0)

Consider statically linking the binaries. They will be a lot larger than otherwise, but they won't require any libraries to exist on the new machines.

I tried this, there were some warnings:

Quote:

warning: Using 'dlopen' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking

And on other machine it was fatal error:

Quote:

FATAL: kernel too old
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Maybe this is because of shared libraries I didn't copy?!
