Hi Rob, I see you provide executables for linux that are dynamically linked... A statically linked executable can work on both glibc and musl based distributions (Alpine and Void linux as two main examples as musl platforms) no matter on which platform this was compiled (be it glibc or musl), and it can also work on much older linux distros. It will help also with old projects that require a specific version of jalv2 compiler. Right now, a static link edit is possible only by modifying the Makefiles at source level.
I have a lot of old applications dynamically linked that do not work on today's computers and operating systems. Is not only that many are written in an old standard, not supported by the compiler, but in many cases, even the GUI libraries are not available anymore. And jalv2 can be linked statically. Maybe you don't know, but there are "recent" changes in GLIBC that will prevent shared programs to work on linux distributions that have GLIBC at a lower version than 2.34 (don't know if is the case of the jalv2 compiler though). I think is in Jalv2 interest to avoid this vulnerability of Linux/UNIX world. -- Vasi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
