linux libs require GLIBCXX 3.4.20
« on: November 29, 2016, 06:26:07 pm »
It seems the precompiled linux libraries in sfml 2.4.1 require GLIBCXX 3.4.20 but I only have GLIBCXX 3.4.19 (or smaller). 

?Should you not attempt to distribute the precompiled libs with more modest (older) glibc requirements for the sake of portability?

Thx, Rod

The Linux binaries are taken straight from our Continues Integration build system, which is running a later version of Debian. Downloading precompiled binaries for Linux is really not the way to go in a Linux environment, instead it's highly recommended to just quickly build SFML yourself.

Once you have all the dependencies installed and got a copy of the source code all you need to do is run the three commands:
cmake .
make
make install
