Linux Binaries for PhantomJS 2.0 are missing

[karim....@viasat.com]

Hi,

It looks like the Linux binaries (32 and 64 bit) are missing from the official download page for PhantomJS 2.0. Only Windows and OSX binaries are available.

It would be great if they are made available for consistency and convenience purposes. Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Karim

Hi,

This is not a mistake. PhantomJS 2.0 was released without Linux binaries. Users have to build it from sources.

But the next (and current) release has binaries for Linux: http://phantomjs.org/download.html

Technical explanation: Linux binaries were not available because static linking was broken for Linux.

Hi,

Could you elaborate more on the static linking issue? Is there an issue associated with it?

Yes, the problem was in Qt. They broke full static linking in 5.6 release. So we had to wait for the next patch release.

Any reason why can't you use version 2.1?

We use it in conjunction with Highcharts. There seems to be issues with 2.1 and latest Highcharts release.
