When I first trued to run an AppImage 2 versions ago I was told something was missing, installed it and it broke my Ubuntu system.. I have a new "something missing" message when trying to run the newly released  AppImage and want to avoid a similar problem. I am running Ubuntu  22.04.5 LTS and the command line error message is    'GLIBCXX_3.4.32 not found...etc'... Feedback welcome..

 The solution is to update your system libstdc++6 library using Ubuntu toolchain PPA but, if you don’t want to do that, there is an alternative AppImage based on Qt5 available from: https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/releases/tag/v3.7-SP1

many thanks.  What I dont' know is if the later version of Ubuntu runs the things I would need to add as I kep the old one for compatibility with the AppImage I am running. I will try the Qt5 on the older Ubutu system first.

regards,

Chris M

The Qt5 AppImage should run on any still supported distribution, s.t. Ubuntu 22:04 and later.

For future versions we are deprecating Qt5 support so the above option will not be available anymore so I downgraded the compiler used to generate the Qt6 AppImage to avoid the need to update libstdc++6 library in still supported systems, if you want to give it a try see: https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/releases/tag/snapshot, feedback is welcome.
