I like PureBasic and I'm a Linux user, and one drawback (which isn't PureBasic specific, but more a linux thing) is if I were to compile a program on Ubuntu 21.10 and want to deploy that to my server which is running Ubuntu 20.04 I get the dreaded
./test: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./test)
Typically in C/C++ this can be prevented by compiling with '-static' though trying it with PureBasic inside ImportC just doesn't want to work.
Since I imagine the C back-end is going to gain in popularity, would it be feasible to perhaps offer the option to statically link dependency libraries so that something compiled on one version/distro will work on others, or at least will have a considerably better chance?
GLIBC will continue to be a huge pain in the backside with Linux distros as new versions come out
