Epoch (not arma3) linux server install no longer compatible with CentOS

[phm]

 

FYI, the 040 Epoch server for Linux is no longer compatible with CentOS 7.  This is a real bummer:

 

	steam@host ~/arma3/@epochhive $> pwd
/home/steam/arma3/@epochhive
steam@host ~/arma3/@epochhive $> ldd epochserver.so
./epochserver.so: /lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by ./epochserver.so)
    linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf77fa000)
    libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf75b6000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xf7574000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf73b7000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x5660c000)
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf739c000)

 

I don't understand why this decision was made.  The arma3server binary is still compatible.  Don't the epoch developers want this to run on the widest array of linux server OSes?

More detail:

Epoch 0.3.9:

    ./epochserver.so:
        libgcc_s.so.1 (GCC_3.0) => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.14) => /lib/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.13) => /lib/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (CXXABI_1.3) => /lib/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.11) => /lib/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.5) => /lib/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4) => /lib/libstdc++.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1) => /lib/libc.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1.3) => /lib/libc.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0) => /lib/libc.so.6

Epoch 0.4.0:

    ./epochserver.so:
        libgcc_s.so.1 (GCC_3.0) => /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.14) => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.13) => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (CXXABI_1.3) => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.11) => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.5) => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4.20) => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6
        libstdc++.so.6 (GLIBCXX_3.4) => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1) => /lib32/libc.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.1.3) => /lib32/libc.so.6
        libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.0) => /lib32/libc.so.6

 

So the required version of glibc was increased from 3.4.14 to 3.4.20 in Epoch 0.4.0

From now on we have solid build environment built on Centos 5 Holy Build Box via Docker that uses shared glibc and the rest of the dependencies are now statically linked (hiredis, pcre,  and libstdc++).
