@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemu

I had this odd idea w.r.t. the driver glibc incompat just now that I want to bounce off this room to see whether it's stupid:

Couldn't we simply remove the glibc it was built against from the rpath and assume whoever loads it will bring their own libc?

17:16:01
@k900:0upti.meK900No17:17:33
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuAnd then build against (but not dynamically link against) some ancient glibc to be compatible with basically anything?17:17:43
@k900:0upti.meK900Not enough17:17:56
@k900:0upti.meK900You also need libstdcpp, llvm, etc17:18:02
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemumhh17:18:26
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemubut LLVM usually isn't provided by the program, right?17:18:52
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuOnly by the driver17:19:06
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuI suspected that might be the answer but I'm interested in why :)17:19:43
@k900:0upti.meK900Because it's got a bunch of other dependencies that will also expect modern libc17:21:55
@k900:0upti.meK900Unless you build the entire closure of Mesa against an old libc17:22:04
@k900:0upti.meK900And then it'll probably explode when it tries to touch any global state wrong17:22:13
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuAh, yeah indeed17:22:30
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuI'd kinda assumed mesa to not have many runtime deps; is that not the case?17:23:18
@k900:0upti.meK900Not at all17:23:57

@charles:computer.surgeryCharles anyone here use faugus launcher and have it actually respect the wineprefix option? if i set it to /foo/bar/baz it just uses /foo/bar/default instead for some reason 23:12:56
@charles:computer.surgeryCharles * anyone here use faugus launcher and have it actually respect the wineprefix option? if i set it a game's wineprefix (not the global setting) to /foo/bar/baz it just uses /foo/bar/default instead for some reason 23:13:26

@brisingr05:matrix.orgBrisingrAnyone here play Ghost Recon Breakpoint? It refuses to launch for me. It requires Ubisoft Connect, which I have installed. When I click 'Play' it just loads for a short while and closes on its own. No other window opens. I have verified the files and also done a reinstall.10:01:22
@hustlerone:matrix.orghustleronei have played in the past and it works, do you have protontricks installed perchance?10:03:45
@brisingr05:matrix.orgBrisingr Yes, that's how I installed Ubisoft Connect. 10:06:49
@hustlerone:matrix.orghustleroneyeah no you messed up10:07:17
