Issue #356 - Set Linux and Mac OS Builds to Python 3.12

May want to mention needing to do this on Mac OS:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /path/to/specs-1.0.0.pkg

Tested the package on Mac OS X. Works when Python 3.12 is installed.

On Ubuntu 22, failed multiple ways:

• Needed to install Python 3.12 via sudo apt install -y python3.12 python3.12-venv python3.12-dev
• Missing glibc 2.38 and glibcxx 3.4.32

The Python issue can be fixed. The libc/libc++ issues cannot. Does this mean Ubuntu 22 is not supported? Will try tomorrow with Ubuntu 24.

Will try to move the build back to 22.04 (older libc/libc++) so that it works with anything from 22.04 onwards. ETA: This did help with installing the DEB package on Ubuntu 22.04. Will see tomorrow if it works easily on newer Ubuntu.

Will need to add a warning to the "using binaries" section.

Tested with Ubuntu 24. Works fine. Here's the requirements:

GLIBC_2.34
GLIBCXX_3.4.30

Now will move to testing an RPM-based Linux - RHEL. Will also need to make sure that these use the same versions of libc/libc++.

Installed RHEL 9. As expected, the Python version there is 3.9.10, so specs did not work out of the box:

$ specs print "1+1"
specs: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.12.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Also, the requirements for libc are the same -

$ strings /usr/local/bin/specs | grep -v @GLIB | grep -e GLIBC_ -e GLIBCXX_
GLIBC_2.3
GLIBC_2.29
GLIBC_2.2.5
GLIBC_2.32
GLIBC_2.4
GLIBC_2.14
GLIBC_2.3.4
GLIBC_2.34
GLIBCXX_3.4.20
GLIBCXX_3.4.18
GLIBCXX_3.4.29
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.14
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.30
GLIBCXX_3.4.15
GLIBCXX_3.4.21
GLIBCXX_3.4.22
GLIBCXX_3.4.19
GLIBCXX_3.4

However, the C++ requirement (3.4.30) is not met:

strings /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX_
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13
GLIBCXX_3.4.14
GLIBCXX_3.4.15
GLIBCXX_3.4.16
GLIBCXX_3.4.17
GLIBCXX_3.4.18
GLIBCXX_3.4.19
GLIBCXX_3.4.20
GLIBCXX_3.4.21
GLIBCXX_3.4.22
GLIBCXX_3.4.23
GLIBCXX_3.4.24
GLIBCXX_3.4.25
GLIBCXX_3.4.26
GLIBCXX_3.4.27
GLIBCXX_3.4.28
GLIBCXX_3.4.29
GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH

Will try to update from 9.0 to something better.

Works on SLES 15.7 after installing the correct Python - lib/libc++ versions match between DEB and RPM
