Switch linuxbase for porting software
I'm currently the mantainer of graphics/linux-ac3d port. My problem is that in the last ac3d version, the executable needs GLIBC 2.4, while the default fc4 linuxbase has 2.3.6 installed. I didn't find ports using newer (2.6.16) linuxbase ports, how this must be handled? Should I use the LINUX_BASE=f8 and OSRELEASE=2.6.16 options in the ports Makefile and switch linuxbase to f8 to test?
Thanks. |

1) Vendor does not actually support FreeBSD I think, but maybe I should ask for statically compiled binaries. I think this is not going to happen, like you say. 2) Linux LibC's are builtin on the linuxbase packages, of course. No devel/linux-glibc2.4 available... 3) I should try using linuxbase-fc8 and see what happens or take an example of a port requiring libc > 2.3.6, if I can find one (googleearth?) Cheers. |

Solved Thanks! Port update committed.

So newer linux base does have glibc 2.4? I am curious why setting LINUXBASE to f8 didn't work before then? i.e. What did you do to fix it?

I manually installed Linuxbase-f8 and set osrelease sysctl to 2.6.16. Using this linuxbase, the port worked.
Actually, f8 has glibc 2.7.x I think. |
