    Just curious, I imagine this will be an inconvenience for many people because the most recent RPi OS (and Debian) version, Bookworm, still ships with glibc 2.36.

    Especially when x86_64 is okay with 2.28.

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      If memory serves well, Ubuntu is used to build Qt for ARM. It has that more recent version of glibc.

        The decision comes from the fact that the CI nodes for aarch64 use a higher glibc version, like @SGaist mentioned.

          After doing some digging I found this thread. My Python project on Raspberry Pi OS requires PySide6==6.8.3 or later which depends on glibc 2.39 but RPiOS only provides 2.36. I tried building from source and containerising it with chroot but neither produced the proper result. I'm going try switching to Ubuntu Server 24.04 for Raspberry Pi and hope for the best seeing as it will have the proper glibc version. If I don't report back within the week assume that it worked.
