Warn if AppDir needs too new glibc #872

Open probonopd opened 6 years ago

probonopd commented 6 years ago

Throw at least a warning if the glibc version needed to run is higher than the one shipped by the currently oldest still-supported Ubuntu LTS release.

Possibly require user to pass in --accept-too-new-dependencies or something along those lines in order to produce an AppImage if the glibc is "too new".

Depends on: https://github.com/AppImage/libelfutil/issues/6

probonopd commented 6 years ago

Possibly do the same for GLIBCXX.

Should help e.g., in those cases:
