Hi --
I'm trying to build an application on CentOS 7 which
can run on older versions of CentOS. I'm running into
problems with versioning of memcpy in Glibc. Executables
built on CentOS 7 require memcpy from glibc-2.14, which
causes the program not to load on systems with older
versions of glibc.
My online search suggests to add an asm() with a .symver
option to select memcpy from glibc-2.2.5 in each of the
source files which reference memcpy(). This isn't practical
with a program with tens of thousands of source files.
Does anyone have a reasonable solution?
IMO you should really be building your app on an older Centos version (5
or 6). Then your binary should run everywhere, though it may sometimes
require installing a -compat package.
An alternative is to link everything statically. Not as good a solution,
as it introduces security concerns.
