I was wondering why executables (written in c++) have to be recompiled from sources on every linux machine, even if the machines are software and hardware the same?
I had a search engine, written in c++, and I have to recompile it every time I want to move it on a new linux machine to make it work.
Any ideas?
If you are asking why an executable compiled on Linux-X won’t run on Linux-Y, then the reason is probably that dynamic libraries (.so) are missing or could not be found.
EDIT: oh sorry, looks like I didn’t read your question well enough. Removed the sarcasm.
