GLIBC_2.29' not found (Debian 10 Buster)

[ixzzd]

Hello! At first I would like to thanks all contributors for the work done on this project!
Recently I faced the GLIBC mismatch issue with rescript-vscode v1.1.0+ and Debian 10 Buster (current stable)

/home/username/.vscode-server/extensions/chenglou92.rescript-vscode-1.1.1/server/analysis_binaries/linux/rescript-editor-analysis.exe: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /home/username/.vscode-server/extensions/chenglou92.rescript-vscode-1.1.1/server/analysis_binaries/linux/rescript-editor-analysis.exe)

The latest available libc-bin version for the current stable Debian release is 2.28 https://packages.debian.org/stable/libc-bin

Is there any chance if rescript-vscode continues support the current Debian stable release?
Probably dependending on GLIBC v 2.28 for a while? Are there any blockers?

It depends on what's available via GitHub actions.

Also I'm not sure we use all the static linking flags at the moment.

Probably related breaking changes were mentioned in 1.1.1 changelog:

Very old linux versions are no longer supported.

[cristianoc]

Building on an older machine is required here.
Would building on ubuntu-18.04 in CI help here?

[cristianoc]

@ixzzd in case it helps, can you try with the CI artifact here: #218

[ixzzd]

@cristianoc probably it would help, but build is falling on "Use Ocaml" step
I can't download artifacts ;(

[cristianoc]

Yes, for some reason CI build fails once the compiler version changes.

[cristianoc]

@ixzzd want to try now? CI is green.

[ixzzd]

@cristianoc I rechecked it, rescript-editor-analysis.exe built with ubuntu-18.04 works fine in with libc 2.28 🎉 Thank you! Will this binary be included in the next extension version?

[cristianoc]

Will this binary be included in the next extension version?

I think so -- the changes to CI seem benign in general.

[cristianoc]

In master now.

@ixzzd new release is out
