Um, the Qt/X11 deployment page specifically recommends statically linking of Qt and even libstdc++[1]. As an app dev I tend to agree: running a different version of a complex pile of C++ than the one you tested against... what could possibly go wrong? :) > Linux doesn't do the windows dll hell. [probably the wrong list for this, but since you brought it up, it's way harder to make backwards-compatible binaries on Linux than on Windows and OSX, which is why most app authors dump that on users and/or distros and just provide source tarballs. I'm referring specifically to the need to build on the oldest Linux that you can find that can run the newest gcc, to avoid glibc symbol versioning hell (eg. google memcpy@GLIBC_2.14 to see the drama)]. > Secondly: Thanks. Where did you get the names (especially the weird hashes)? I mean, what does that cover? Qt, GTK?
