Requirement of glibc 2.18 breaks compatibility with older server distributions #25

Starting filite on a RedHat / CentOS 7 based server, the following error message occurs:

./filite: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by ./filite)

Unfortunately there is no possibility in updating to CentOS 8 for me, as I am planning to use filite on a web server out of my control. I have all user rights, but the provider manages the machines.

It would be nice to have less restrictive requirements to support other distributions. CentOS 8 is not even a year old.

That's just due to the version of glibc present on GitHub Actions runners, which gets linked against in automatic builds (which happen to be used for releases). I'll look into forcing the runner to use an older version, but in the meantime building yourself should fix the issue !
