I’m currently trying to generate a Windows, standalone, installable build of a prototype, and I’m struggling. Specifically, I’m doing this in Linux via pdeploy’s “-P” option, and seem to be hitting a version mismatch related to the file “libstdc++.so.6”.
Here is the error that I’m getting, with a bit of context on either side:
['/usr/bin/makensis', '-V2', '/tmp/lockpicking.nsi']
/usr/bin/makensis: /home/thaumaturge/.panda3d/hosts/runtime.panda3d.org_0f5faf88846080ae/panda3d/cmu_1.9/linux_amd64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/bin/makensis)
/usr/bin/makensis: /home/thaumaturge/.panda3d/hosts/runtime.panda3d.org_0f5faf88846080ae/panda3d/cmu_1.9/linux_amd64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /usr/bin/makensis)
:Installer(warning): Failure invoking NSIS command.
I’ve encountered this problem before, but I’m not quite confident of how I fixed it then. I think that I locked some package to a specific version–and indeed, I see that I have NSIS locked to version 2.5.
Searching my file system, I see that I do have “libstdc++.so.6”–specifically, the directories “/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/” and “/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/” each have a version of “libstdc++.so.6.0.21”, and a link to it named “libstdc++.so.6”. Using the “strings” command on these (and searching the output via “grep”) indicates that they do offer the required versions of “GLIBCXX”.
However, it seems that when pdeploy is run another version of “libstdc++.so.6” appears in “~/.panda3d/hosts/runtime.panda3d.org_0f5faf88846080ae/panda3d/cmu_1.9/linux_amd64”. I presume that this is the version being used–and “strings” indicates that this one doesn’t offer the required versions!
The above-mention searches of the file system don’t seem to show this version of the file elsewhere, and thus my guess is that something–perhaps NSIS, Panda, or GCC–is downloading it.
I have a suspicion that the issue may be related to the version of GCC installed on my system; I believe that the primary version on my system is 5.4.0. I’ve looked into downgrading this, thinking that an older version might look for older versions of “GLIBCXX”, but it looks as though some significant components depend on it. I believe that I do have an older version installed (4.7), so if GCC is the cause, is there a way of having pdeploy specify the version of GCC to be used?
If not, what might I do about this?
