LLVM is a bunch of static libs so we can easily impose stdc++ version on them that Mesa would be fine with. So LLVM will be ok. If different versions of stdc++ are a worry, I'd suggest writing a super simple GL app that links to libstdc++5 and then link GL to libstdc++6 and seeing what happens (even if it burns I honestly think that a disclaimer saying that 10 year old apps that link to libstdc++5 won't work with newest Mesa without recompiling is not a huge issue) Oh, and from what you wrote it sounds like, at least right now, you don't need stdc++. z ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mesa3d-dev mailing list Mesa3d-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mesa3d-dev
