Hey Linux users! I'm not sure if this goes in the Source Ports forum, but it is kinda technical. Mods feel free to move around and yell at me :).

I would like to know:

Linux distro name & version
glibc version

You can check glibc version by running:

code:
/lib/libc.so.6

It looks like a library, but will also print a line like:

code:GNU C Library stable release version 2.5, by Roland McGrath et al.

So that's 2.5 there.

The reason I want this stuff is so that I can try & get away with distributing 1 static Linux binary instead of 17.

Thanks in advance.

Debian Wheezy (Testing) - AMD64
GNU C Library (Debian EGLIBC 2.13-16) stable release version 2.13

EDIT: also, I had to run either /lib32/libc.so.6 or /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 because I don't have /lib/libc.so.6

Thanks guys. For fairness' sake, here's my info:

Slackware 13.1 32-bit
GNU C Library stable release version 2.11.1, by Roland McGrath et al.

And if you can believe it, that 2.5 is from CentOS 5.6! That is, by any definition, EXTREMELY old. Big WTF there. Well, probably it's to preserve binary compatibility throughout the (ancient) 5 series. But still....

And good call exp(x), I forgot about the lib32 stuff in Debian.

Unless he's changed recently, last time I heard, exp(x) was actually using Debian/i386 with the amd64 kernel (so 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit userland).. my regular Debian/amd64 system just has a plain /lib/libc.so.6

As for myself, I actually have four distros installed that I can give you info for :P

Arch Linux x86_64 (it's rolling release, no version number)
GNU C Library stable release version 2.14

Debian 6.0, Squeeze, x86_64
GNU C Library (Debian EGLIBC 2.11.2-10) stable release version 2.11.2

Fedora 15 x86_64
GNU C Library stable release version 2.14

CentOS 6 x86_64
GNU C Library stable release version 2.12

For both Fedora and CentOS, I had to use /lib64 since /lib is strictly for 32-bit libraries (even on 64-bit).

For what it's worth:

code:
GNU C Library (Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.8) stable release version 2.11.1, by Roland McGrath et al.

but read on:

I take that you mean making a single binary, that will run on everything marked "Linux for Intel and Compatibles"?

As much as I'd like to see that getting done myself (for an application more complex than "Hello World") this is a kind of Columbus Egg for the Linux world.

From my experience, at best you'll get a "yeah, maybe, but" kind of civil response.

More probably, just mentioning "cross-distro Linux binary compatibility" will open several cans of worms, start flaming Holy Wars, cause a bazillion crackpot philosophers and wannabe Linux-intellectuals to mention things like the LSB, the evils of static linking, how this is "not the proper way to do things on Linux", "it depends on the repo maintainers", "Stallman will sodomize your ass if you don't distribute from source" etc. etc.

It's kinda like a woman asking you "Do I look fat?", only worse. And good luck with that ;-)

ETA to impact in 3...2...1....

I changed recently, and the reason /lib/libc.so.6 is gone has to do with this: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch

Ah cool, I didn't know multiarch is finally coming out in Wheezy, that's awesome.

I don't mind having to compile from source, as long as your build scripts actually work. prboom-plus only distributes source and there's no big problem updating that every time Andrey releases a new version. I'd assume most Linux users are at least capable of typing "./configure" and "make".

Yeah of course different CPU architectures will need separate binaries. I don't have a way to build SPARC or Itanium binaries, but I don't think anyone would try to play competitively on one of those machines anyway. ARM I can easily do (hey Ladna... is that a sexy Nokia N900 you have there....?1?!).

I'll create an official OpenPandora port!

(on that note I should fix up the compiled binaries for prboom-plus I made and release it to the OP repository, along with Odamex 0.5.4 when I finally get around to compiling the launcher)

I will get uname and libc details from my Pandora when I get home
