It might only compile on a machine with a recent compiler if it’s aggressive with using new language features, but why would need to compile a Rust/C++ version from source? A compiler binary will run jut fine on old distro versions.
- netheril96 4y agoOn old distros you need to install the latest libc and libstdc++/libc++ to run them. I’ve tried many times in the past and never succeeded.
- nicoburns 4y agoTypically projects will compile the binaries on systems with a much older version of libc (but the latest compiler) specifically to avoid this problem. If they’re not doing this then I believe they won’t work on older systems even if compiled with old compiler versions.
