LyX 2.4 without GLIBC_2.38

Post#1 by **rych** » 16 Jun 2024, 12:31

Unfortunately, again, it's getting very hard to update most Apps because they now require a next version of GLIBC_2.38. Porteus is still on GLIBC_2.35:

Code: Select all

ldd --version
ldd (GNU libc) 2.35

For example, and this is my request, the fresh LyX 2.4. It's available on Slackware Current
https://slackware.pkgs.org/current/slac ... f.txz.html
https://slackers.it/repository/slackwar ... 64-1cf.txz

however, unlike the previous lyx-2.3.7-x86_64-1cf.xzm it now prints this:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# lyx
lyx: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by lyx)
lyx: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.32' not found (required by lyx)
lyx: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.15' not found (required by lyx)

ncmprhnsbl, I know it's a big ask and we've been over this before, but could you move Porteus to GLIBC_2.38!? If not, could you help me with the lyx-2.4.0-x86_64 to work under Porteus please?

Also, is PorteuX Current on GLIBC_2.38? Is PorteuX Stable on GLIBC_2.35?

I'm afraid I'll have to build it myself using the https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/office/lyx/ -- a SlackBuild rule to build the latest lyx (2.4.1). I've never done this before, so will study first... Suppose I'll succeed in building it. Are there tools in Porteus to turn the binaries into a module, instead of installing it into the live tree?

sbopkg gui only lists the previous version which is installed, doesn't communicate with the https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/office/lyx/ doesn't find the update.

Maybe I could do it by hand, using this example: perl-tk compatible with perl [Solved] (Post by ncmprhnsbl #84218)

OK, so I downloaded the SlackBuild and the source archive, and started

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/P/LyX# sh lyx.SlackBuild

It extracts the source under /tmp/SBo and immediately runs some checks. And here we come, the first thing missing that I don't know yet how to provide:

Code: Select all

Firstly why configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-qt5

Secondly, checking for QT_CORE... checking for QT_FRONTEND... checking for X... libraries , headers, did we pass?

Lastly: configure: error: cannot compile a simple Qt executable. Check you have the right $QTDIR -- okay, so how do I provide Qt (Qt5 I hope) enough for compiling with it?

UPDATE. Activating the qt5-dev-5.15.3_20220318-x86_64-xfce-cinnamon-openbox-lxde-mate-gnome.xzm was enough, and we're cooking
