Another option is to install a matching RH version into a virtual machine, install gcc and the relevant library packages there, build the executable and scp it to the hoster's machine. On a side note: it's interesting, if it's possible to somehow tell gcc which is building the fossil binary against a 2.7 glibc to pretend to only link to its 2.6 ABI (or lower) symbols. I doubt fossil really uses someting more beyond quite basic libc facilities (plus the basic IP network stack API). _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
