v0.35.3 glibc dependency problem on Centos 7.9

[mehmetakifayas]

Hi,
I'm using GitFiend on Centos 7.9. GitFiend v0.35.3 does not work on Centos 7.9 since the rust-server requires glibc version 2.29.
You can see the log below.

/opt/GitFiend/resources/app.asar.unpacked/output-code/core/rust-server true
/opt/GitFiend/resources/app.asar.unpacked/output-code/core/rust-server: /lib64/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /opt/GitFiend/resources/app.asar.unpacked/output-code/core/rust-server) /opt/GitFiend/resources/app.asar.unpacked/output-code/core/rust-server: /lib64/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /opt/GitFiend/resources/app.asar.unpacked/output-code/core/rust-server)

Thanks for reporting this. I'll see if it can get a fix out soon.

Exactly same issue with Ubuntu 18.04.

[GitFiend]

I've just release GitFiend 0.36 which should fix this. Let me know if it's still an issue.

Hi,
Thank you for the new release. After updating to v0.36 GitFiend works now but when I click on the changed file, the differences view does not show up. Also when I minimize the GitFiend window, content of Changes/Commits/Branches tabs disappear.
You can see the log below.

/opt/GitFiend/resources/app.asar.unpacked/output-code/core/rust-server true
PORT:37645

Thanks for the quick feedback and providing the log. I've created a build that will hopefully fix this and uploaded it to github here: https://github.com/GitFiend/Support/releases/tag/0.36.1

If this works I'll release it, otherwise keep looking into it.

[mehmetakifayas]

Thank you. v0.36.1 works!

[farrukh-dplit]

0.36 seems functional, thank you for quick fix.

Hi,
I know this is a little bit late to report but when I open v0.36.1 in another VM (Centos 7.9) error window pop ups.

The message is: “Couldn’t find Git. If you are installing Git, wait for the install to finish, then try again”.

Git 2.37 is already installed. I don’t know why gitfiend could not find the directory.

[GitFiend]

That's strange. Gitfiend just calls git and assumes it's in your path. It's possible the reload button in that dialog is no longer working due to my recent changes and you may need to restart (if you haven't already tried that).

[mehmetakifayas]

Restarting VM didn’t work. I cleaned everything related to GitFiend and re-installed but that couldn’t solve the problem. Interestingly only 1 over 3 VM causes this problem.

[GitFiend]

What do you get exactly when you run "git version" in a terminal? I noticed something a little dumb in my version checking code and made a fix and another build: https://github.com/GitFiend/Support/releases/tag/0.36.3. There's a chance this will fix it.

Hi,
v0.36.3 worked. There was not only version numbers but also characters as suffix in my git version (I know the reason). After updating git version to 2.37.3, both v0.36.1 and v0.36.3 worked in this VM.
Thank you!
