Thanks @mist...@redhat.com<mailto:mist...@redhat.com> for the detailed mail. I 
was trying out the things mentioned.

Please see the below steps I tried:


  *   Setup a Fedora38 VM.
  *   We suspect this commit 
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/commit/d8e3f297ffde54412d935db7dde31d276b58b635#diff-874667bd88035dc47251befdad240fb5cf39f7db50597060fe17c2ecb6082de5
 (which was done to make 3.22 GTK version as minimum), as the cause of the 
crash issue we are seeing (not sure, need to confirm). The crash occurs when we 
are right clicking (when trying to show a pop up menu) - getting 
gtk_menu_popup_at_pointer undefined symbol. Since this may not be present in 
gtk4. Earlier we used to have a separate handling if the gtk version was less 
than 3.22. I tried to add the removed native call and changes in Menu.java. And 
created the .so files with building in Fedora38 VM (Glibc 2.37).
  *   But when I am using this .so files in the product and trying to launch 
the product in SUSE12 SP5, the launch itself is failing. When I tried find the 
root cause (adding some logs) I got the below error:
/home/vishnu/Downloads/RiscFreeSetupv23.2.1/RiscFreeProduct-INTEL-linux.gtk.x86_64/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/277/0/.cp/libswt-pi3-gtk-4960r6.so:
 /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by 
/home/vishnu/Downloads/RiscFreeSetupv23.2.1/RiscFreeProduct-INTEL-linux.gtk.x86_64/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/277/0/.cp/libswt-pi3-gtk-4960r6.so)
               It’s expecting Glibc version above 2.34 while the SUSE12 is 
having 2.22 by default.

I am a bit new to this, so could someone please guide me on how to fix this. Is 
this issue because I am using a wrong platform (with higher version of Glibc 
2.37 for building). What is the ideal platform which we are using to generate 
swt .so files for linux gtk.

Thanks,
Vishnu

Subject: Re: [platform-dev] Eclipse Platform Build

Hi,

Please see https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Platform_Build for 
explanation of how to build the Eclipse Platform and 
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/wiki/Devel-GTK-Dev-guide
 for particular GTK stuff.
The version of SWT was bumped by +0.1.0 during last cycle, which means it has 
new APIs and some bundles are probably consuming those new API; so by auditing 
the version, it seems like the combination you wish to achieve (latest platform 
with old SWT) is then not possible.
With the link above and good knowledge of Maven, Tycho and PDE, you may be able 
to hack something to enforce another locally built version of SWT, but overall 
it will be annoying and difficult for questionable value. If you can make a PR 
that fixes https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/issues/212 
while still working with supported environments, there are chances that it get 
merged and than part of the official build. This is IMO the most profitable 
path forward, although it's not certain it can work.
Note that if you're stuck in an environment that is not supported anymore, you 
may consider alternative distributions of Eclipse IDE, such as Flatpak one; 
with such container-like installations, most libs -including GTK- are supposed 
to be included in a compatible way. https://flathub.org/apps/org.eclipse.Java .
