I honestly don't see the problem. It's a different platform so it's got different quirks, that's just life.
Having said that, I strongly prefer Linux's explicit shared object search paths and very user-friendly dynamic linker to Window's implicit search scheme (aka the DLL hell). If that means I need to add my dynamic linker along with a couple lines of wrapper script so my binaries work, so be it.
And, you can even avoid the wrapper script if you can make sure your stuff is always installed to a standard location (eg. /opt/yourcompany) and you pass -Wl,rpath to your linker (at compile time) but I really don't see the point.

- HeadsUpHigh 8y agoThe differences between them are getting smaller and smaller with time. With the notable exceptions of some really cool distros like nixOS or Solus most others have almost the same libraries at this point at varying versions.
