Hi, I need to compile syslog-ng with glibc 2.0.6 (don't tell me to upgrade the system... it's another 'sad system administration without power story'), can anyone tell me if any older version of syslog-ng work with this glibc?
*cough* static compile *cough*
Hi Alex, I'm not so smart but surely you have a cold :) Can you explain a bit more?
static linking won't work accross different major glibc versions, as syslog-ng uses NSS libraries that have different binary interfaces and can't be linked statically. you can recompile syslog-ng on an older system that has old glibc. The only problem you can have is glib and friends as older systems usually have a too old glib version. -- Bazsi
