Debian stable binary version

[pelmato]

It seems that all recent prebuilt binaries (after 0.7.5) of node-webkit don't work on Debian stable (Wheezy) because of use of too recent libc6 version :

./nw: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./nw)
./nw: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./nw)

Debian stable only has libc6 2.13 !
Would it be possible to have a recent debian-stable-compatible binary version available on download ?

Confirmed. NSS_3.14.3 is missing aswell.. Temp fix is doing

apt-get -t testing libc6-dev libnss3-dev

But it kinda sucks that my users will have to go through this too.

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit. libc.so.6 is version 2.15. any other workaround here? :(

[miklschmidt]

@wildtron if it's 2.15 it should work. Sure it's not 2.14?

Also updating your glibc can potentially break your system. Anyone built node-webkit against the older GLIBC version?

This should be working with latest version now.

In 0.13 we changed to an optimized architecture so more features can be supported, see http://nwjs.io/blog/whats-new-in-0.13/ and it's good for keeping up with Chromium upstream -- we released with Node.js v6.0 and new Chromium versions within 1 day after upstream release.

The new version would fixed many issues reported here and we're scrubbing them. This issue is closed as we believe it should be fixed. Please leave a message if it isn't and we'll reopen it.
