 Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2006 12:17 am Post subject: Crossover Office, glibc and tls support |
 |
|
I'm wanting to install a trial version of Crossover Office on my Gentoo system. On the CodeWeavers site, there's this comment regarding Gentoo: | Quote: | | The current problem of the month with Gentoo is that many glibc packages are built without TLS support, which is sick and wrong for a modern glibc. |
Now, I'm not trying to start a war here, but I was curious about how to tell if I've got glibc configured for TLS support. I feel like I oughta know, but I confess I don't. I did "emerge u glibc", which told me a lot, but didn't tell me about tls support.
Thanks.

| I'm not sure what the commenter was getting at. glibc is built with support for TLS binaries by default. I don't run it nowadays but I've run Crossover Office under Gentoo with no problems as recently as 4 months ago. |

I can add to sternklang's comment that I'm running Crossover Office today on a "~amd64" system using glibc 2.3.6 and modular xorg compiled with gcc 4.0.2 and everything works just fine.
