Could Lumo not depend on glibc ?

[didibus]

The dependency on glibc means that Lumo can't run on older Linux distros that have older versions of glibc which can't be upgraded. NodeJS and NPM do not have this issue and run just fine.

Would it be possible for Lumo to switch to not depending on the gnu c library? Or include its dependencies within its binary?

Or in my case, could it be made to support GLIBC as old as 2.12 ?

I have had the same problem and ended up working on a musl static mini-project (I have posted the results in here.

It was targeted at a AWS lumo layer but can be of course used just for compiling the binary.

Also the problem is not really lumo here but node

Hum, interesting. Why is the docker image required, if you've managed to statically link and build Lumo with musl? Shouldn't it now be a self-contained binary?

Also, when you say the issue is Node, what I find strange is that I am able to get Node installed and working? So it would appear to me Node can happily run with an even older GLIBC ?

It is but you build it yourself by pointing at lumo's folder, for now it is not provided as part of lumo's binaries.

Maybe it should indeed?

Would this be solved by #374? It proposes to ship the pre-nexe compiled-js of lumo. That way people could run the lumo.js directly using their own nodejs binary.
