Linux console only app

[a.ross]

Is there a way to compile with out needing GLIBC_2.34 so the console apps will run purely in terminal without needing the GUI present, you know like running the app in init 3

glibc is a mandatory lib, may be you meant GTK. If you don't use any window/gadget/requester etc. libs it shouldn't use it.

This is probably my bad, I compiled on Ubuntu 20.04 and ran on rocky Linux 8.5 via putty.
I suspect it's a versioning issue.

Thanks for the reply!

Which kernel version does your target system have?
Terminal -> uname -a or hostnamectl

For older kernel versions you must also use an older Purebasic version.

For example:
For kernel version 5.x -> PB v6.04 on linux with kernel 5.x
For kernel version 6.x -> PB v6.12 on linux with kernel 6.x

Linux
PureBasic free for Linux Debian 12 (x86)
PureBasic free for Linux Ubuntu 18.04 (x64)
PureBasic free for Linux Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 (x64)
PureBasic free for Linux Ubuntu 24.04 (x64)

In each of these lines, you need to add the glibc version

For code usage outside of the ubuntu/debian ecosystem, this information is more important.

Cool, I made the mistake of compiling a gui version that "just worked" switching between versions (but that was using RHL v9).
I then made the assumption terminal (console) apps would just work without requiring any external library's (it was just one line printN("hello world") )

I have a few different varieties of linux at work and wanted an easy way to move terminal apps between versions, I'll look at getting rpm's to fill the gaps on the RHEL flavors.
