Re: [tlug] Backward compatibility problem in RHEL5

[shikdar mohib yazdani <smyazdani@example.com>]

Hi all,
Thank you for the replies.

I have tried with gcc34 in rhel5. It compiles well, but when I run the program it crashed.
I also tried compiling with "gcc34 -static", but no luck, program crashed.

Is there any way I can compile the program in rhel3 and include all the necessary libraries in the binaries; then copy it in rhel5 and run?
 Best Regards

As long as syscalls don't change, a static build is always possible anyway...

I also saw yesterday a tool that builds a monolitic executable from dyn linked 
one including all needed libs. Can't remember the name.
