GLIBC requirement

[tisonkun]

See https://github.com/tisonkun/blog/issues/105.

I wonder if we can use a musl static link distribution or we can upgrade/extend the GLIBC requirement.

Thank you for the feedback. I've looked into possible solutions and found that the neon library we're using doesn't support generating static binaries (see https://github.com/neon-bindings/neon/issues/360). Actually, I used to build hexo-word-counter in a newer compilation environment with a higher libc version. However, some users are using Cloudflare Pages' build environment with an older libc version, which isn't compatible. So, I switched to use an older one, but unfortunately, it's incompatible with Vercel. I'm not sure what the best approach to resolving this issue would be. Do you have any suggestions?

@tisonkun I've found that Cloudflare Pages has updated their deployment environment, and I have now also updated to GLIBC version 2.31 on Ubuntu 20.04 (tests show that it also works under Ubuntu 22.04). You can try again.

npm i hexo-word-counter@0.2.0

Cloudflare Pages environment:

Netlify environment:

As of April 2024, both of them are using ubuntu 20.04

I have updated to 0.2.0 but it seems still try to find GLIBC 2.28?

Are you using Vercel for CI? I compiled your blog's code on a Vercel machine, and it shows that it works perfectly fine here. You can check if your Vercel build environment is different from mine. I am using Node.js 20.12.2.

Update: I think I know the cause of the problem. Switching to Node.js version 18 reproduces the same error.

[tisonkun]

Upgrade vercel runtime to Node 20 solves the issue.

Thank you!

[stevenjoezhang]

This issue is very strange. Using this plugin with Node.js 18 doesn't work on Vercel, but it does work on Cloudflare Pages.

[tisonkun]

I don't think it's about Node version actually. Perhaps Vercel packages different GLIBC on their "node 18" env.

[tisonkun]

This is what I feel uncomfortable with @vercel:

I'm trying to get an info list about the details of env on their deployment, but none of their docs tell what version of GLIBC is available on a certain env.

[stevenjoezhang]

Yes, in comparison, GitHub has done a good job; they have published the detailed version information of the software pre-installed in their CI images: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2004-Readme.md
