Version 1.7.8 Needs Newer glibc

[mike admin]

Ouch. We upgraded the build machine and that went unnoticed. Should be addressed in the next version.

Ok, so it was unintentional. Thanks for the clarification.

As unintentional as it could get. The problem is that there is an API in glibc that is now marked as requiring 2.15 . Guess what - this API is "memcpy". While a workaround will be added to MakeMKV soon, this is insane.

This is addressed to everyone who reads this - If you still have any hopes about "desktop linux" ever happening, then spend 5 minutes of your time, go to your favourite mailing list, and politely ask why GLIBC developers think that it was such a great idea to change memcpy function that it requires 2.15 .

This is a clear screaming example why no one in his sane mind would ever develop any non-gpl software for Linux. Ever.

Just a suggestion, if you use Debian (stable) for your build system, you will probably have a fairly cross-flavor compatible binary. Mainly because they take forever to adopt big changes.

1.7.9 works fine with Debian Stable. Thank You!!!
