jogl and libc compatibility

#1

I’ve read through both posts concerning the newest jogl version and the upgrade to the nightly build machine. Is it at all possible to have versions of jogl built against an older libc (2.2,2.3)? Many of my clients cannot easily upgrade, in fact, I cannot easily upgrade to a newer libc due to a closed secure network w/ approved software. I’d really like to make use of the new font/texture features. While I could compile jogl myself and ship it, I’d rather stick with the official releases since self-compilation will quickly turn into a version control nightmare.

Is this even possible at this point?

We are working on downgrading our Linux nightly build machine to a 2.3.x glibc based distribution. This should hopefully be done tonight, and we will re-release a JSR-231 1.1.1 release candidate build afterward.

BTW, nice job on Iris and WorldWind. Looking good!

Thanks! Iris will be open-sourced as soon as possible and can still be launched at swinglabs.org/iris/.
