How to make Pyinstaller compile for the glibc version that the system actually has

[BOTButtcheeks]

Raspbian 6.1.21+
GLIBC_2.33/2.44 not found

even though I used Pyinstaller on the hardware the software was going to run, it compiled under a different version of GLIBC than my hardware runs, I didn't even think that was possible.

how do I approach this? If I have to downgrade pyinstaller what is the exact way to find the specific version that expects glibc_2.31 so I can downgrade, my searches are coming up with nothing that I can see.

glibc version is not tied to hardware, but to the version of linux distribution that is running on it. In this case, your build-system needs to be running the oldest version of Raspbian that you can expect to find on your run-time systems.

What is the Raspbian version on the build system, and what is the Raspbian version on the run-time system (one of them seems to be 6.1.21, which is based off Debian Buster - but which is it?).

Which shared library/binary is missing the said glibc symbols? Does it work with unfrozen python on the build system?

This means that you have installed PyInstaller via binary wheel (probably from https://www.piwheels.org/), which was built for newer version of Raspbian. You should install from source distribution, which should compile the bootloader with your local version of glibc

pip uninstall pyinstaller
pip install pyinstaller --no-binary :pyinstaller:

I suspect it installed the binary with that command, I compiled again just incase and yeah its the same error

Collecting pyinstaller Downloading https://www.piwheels.org/simple/pyinstaller/pyinstaller-6.12.0-py3-none-any.whl

Yeah, this wheel is the source of your problems...

Try downloading the source .tar.gz from https://pypi.org/project/pyinstaller/#files

Then uninstall: pip uninstall pyinstaller

And install from source:

tar xvf pyinstaller-6.12.0.tar.gz
cd pyinstaller-6.12.0/
pip install .

This solved the GLIBC issue, you have been incredibly helpful thankyou
