Re: [gentoo-user] Compile program with older libraries

[Marko Košmerl]

On compile time I get warnings:
watcher.cpp:(.text+0x85): warning: Using 'initgroups' in statically linked
applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc
version used for linking
watcher.cpp:(.text+0x16f): warning: Using 'getpwnam' in statically linked
applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc
version used for linking
client.cpp:(.text+0xb1a): warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked
applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc
version used for linking
reg.cpp:(.text+0x3d6): warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically linked
applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc
version used for linking

On running it:
./watcher: /lib/libuuid.so.1: no version information available (required by
./watcher)
./watcher: /lib/libc.so.6:e version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by
./watcher)
./watcher: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by
./watcher)
./watcher: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by
./watcher)
