Hi,

The best solutions I know concerning that issue with glibc is either code y=

your application/makefile. That second solution implies that your users wou=
ld have to do the same if the version of their distro is lower than yours.

Of course you can statically link a lib, but that can be tricky...

Maybe other devs have better solutions I'd love to know ^^

Hi,
I have some users reporting that in trying to install the ubuntu
versions of guitarmidi-lv2 on linux mint and other derivative distros
they are having issues with the wrong glibc version.

Is it possible to statically link in glibc? Is it recommended or not?

Thanks
