Hi Kiste, Thanks for the response. I think I will indeed go for linking the libraries to prevent any issues with older library versions which I am now experiencing.
The rpm solution is for guru's I think and as mentioned, that is not me 🙂. For later ... Happy New Year (and next year a new Jallib release)!

I wouldn't mind static linking. You can't do it for big graphical applications like GIMP, VLC or LibreOffice, the executables would blow up to gigabytes. But for a compiler, it costs a few bytes and saves a lot of trouble. The alternative would be to distribute package manager files (like .deb or .rpm), which include information on dependencies. But that's the hard way to make a user happy. Statically linked executables are quick and convenient for everyone :-) Greets, Kiste Am Dienstag, 28.

Some time ago a did an upgrade of Virtual Box and that gave issues. For example I can no longer use the MacOS since it does not work anymore. Since the number of MacOS users is limited, and setting up this environment for the MacOS took a lot of time, I will not make a new MacOS versions of the but will keep the makefile for the MacOS so that others can create it. But the question is about something else. For the Linux compiler I am switching to Ubuntu running on my Windows PC using WSL2. This integrates better with Windows. The problem is, however, that when I create the Linux compiler now, it does not run under Linux Mint since it cannot find a library that is dynamically loaded and that version of that library is not on my Linux Mint installation. So I have 2 questions: 1) Did you experience any issues with the Linux compiler, that is, did you had to upgrade or install any library to get it running on your machine? 2) I can solve the issue by linking all libraries with the application (option -static). This works but this doubles the size of the compiler to about 1.3 Mbyte (it is normally around 550 kbytes). I do not think it will slow things down but it will prevent any problems mentioned in 1) BTW. I am not a Linux guru so maybe some of you have other suggestions. Please share your thoughts. Thanks.
