Linux min version ?

[jyg]

I don't think there is a minimum requirement option for Linux, so that's probably not the issue.

I thought this could be the issue because it was the case once with camomile earlier versions. See following discussion: pierreguillot/Camomile#222 (comment)

Did you build it yourself or use the prebuilt version?

No, I used the prebuilt version. However, I have to further investigate.

I'm planning to make a new release tonight and send it over to some people to make sure it works for everyone, would you be interested in trying it?

Yes, of course. thanks.

Oh that's the same issue for sure, thanks for sharing! I do wonder how Camomile handles this currently, in the thread it says

"PS Does this mean that we may have to distribute 2 plugin versions, according to linux OS version ?
Yes, because Ubuntu 20 and 18 are not compatible..."

But I only see one Linux plugin in the last Camomile release?

running PlugData standalone from command line, I get :
./PlugData: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version "GLIBC_2.29" not found (required by ./PlugData)

A suggestion here : compile glibc into static binary

Thanks, that's a great solution I hadn't considered yet

I did read here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46809303/how-to-static-linking-to-glibc-in-cmake

that there are some caveats to this method when running it on different distros. I might still statically link it, because right now I have no clue if the binaries would work on other distros anyways. Besides, most non-Ubuntu linux users can probably handle a simple cmake build.

However, I see two linux targets (ubuntu-18_04-build and ubuntu-20_04-build) in the file

But this is beyond my skills :-)

I noticed this as well which is why I copied Camomile's GitHub action. You should be able to download the build for 18.04 here:

I just pushed this so I'm going to test it myself right now.

Hmm I'm not sure you can access these! Just a sec..

[timothyschoen]

Build for Ubuntu 18.04, if this works for you I'll include it in the next release

ok. Could open the standalone version on my system. Thanks !

Thanks for confirming, I'll consider it fixed!
