1121 :: Glibc 2.14 on Debian Wheezy

• pyloor (orginal) [2015-04-12T14:00:08+02:00] view original

  Hi,

  I am new to nim and have a small problem: My dev station is debian jessie. I compiled a small program which plays with the readLine(stdin) and rdstdin module. After compiling I put the programm to a debian wheezy station. After starting the program, the following error shows up:

  ./vlogger: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./vlogger)

  Debian wheezy has GLIBC Version 2.13. I know it is possible to install the newer version from unstable, but the programs target is on productive hosting servers, where I won't install a glibc from unstable... . So I inspected with objdump -T whats the problem:

  0000000000000000 DF UND 0000000000000000 GLIBC_2.14 memcpy

  I am not sure one way may to compile the program on debian wheezy, but perhaps there is a way to statically bind the necessary lib. But how?

  Thanks for help.

  That's a general problem with releasing software on Linux. My solution is to use a build machine with an old Debian version, which has a low glibc version. If you really want to statically link, you should probably use musl libc instead: http://www.schipplock.software/2015/02/static-linking-with-nim.html
