Hi Vasi,

I had problems with GLIBC version 2.29. In order to solve that I recompiled the 
JAL compiler with an older version of gcc and that solved that issue.

I can have a look a linking it statically. Are you - or other JAL users - 
experiencing problems with the current version (2.5r8) of the JAL compiler?

Kind regards,

Rob

Onderwerp: [jallib] Linux executable

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.
