Hi all. I'm using a CentOS 6.8 VM to do volunteer builds for an open
source project. I want to build Pale Moon with a gtk2 library older
than 2.24, to allow people with older linuxes to run it. Short summary,
if built against version gtk2-2.24 and/or higher, the binary will use a
function that does not exist in gtk2-2.23 and lower. Net result is that
the program dies with an "undefined symbol:" error for people with
machines lower than gtk2-2.24. Yes, before you ask, they do get
security fixes backported.
The hits from my Google search suggested...
yum downgrade gtk2
The response from yum was...
Only Upgrade available on package: gtk-2.24.23-8.e16.i686
Nothing to do
Are there ways around this?
One way would be to do the build on the same OS as the 'older linux' ?
However, CentOS 6.5 shipped with gtk2-2.20.1-4.el6, CentOS 6.6 and above
shipped with gtk-2.24 - see http://vault.centos.org/6.5/os/
You _might_ be able to downgrade gtk-2 to that shipped with CentOS 6.5 -
but I guess there may be a myriad of dependencies on gtk-2.24 that
prevent this on a CentOS 6.8 install ...
Otherwise, use a CentOS 6.5 VM to do the build (with the usual caveats
that 6.5 is old/out-of-date/etc)?
