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,

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.

Has that (last?) Qt5 build already been replaced by todays builds or is it still available somewhere?

Thanks

Qt5 AppImage for v3.7-sp1 is available from the release page and they will not be replaced, snapshot builds are based on Qt6 only but they ***should*** run on all still supported distributions.

Thx. I got that wrong.
Will try on Debian 12 soon and report back.

Starts and seems to work quite well on Debian 12 (afaik Qt5), while the regular Qt6 Appimage complains "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.32' not found"

So far only:

Cache got rebuilt (blue bar) coming from 3.7 DEV 5001. Unexpected, but nor problem.
Custom Data Processor got unassigned (to "none" instead of "on import").
Rowing Icon (new calendar) seems to use hardcoded default, independent of icon assignment (assigned icon sticks in assignment dialog , but isn't applied in calendar).

Thanks

Great, that’s what I wanted to confirm, thank you!

It should work from Ubuntu 22:04 and others derivatives too.

That’s expected, current build is 5006, you can check that in Help > About > Version

Custom Data Processor got unassigned (to "none" instead of "on import").

That’s weird, but I have not tested that. Does it work once you change it back?

Rowing Icon (new calendar) seems to use hardcoded default, independent of icon assignment (assigned icon sticks in assignment dialog , but isn't applied in calendar).

That may be due to sport normalization , try adding Row as sport and assign the icon to it.

No, it doesn't, not even on manual invocation.
Since I made quite some changes with this version already: can I use the topical Qt5 build on the data?

The icon for "Row" does work as expected, but catches "Rowing" too. Filtering for substring?

Should 'set(Sport, "Row", Sport contains "Rowing")' do , or do I need to do it in two steps employing an intermediary field?

Current snapshot and v3.7-sp1 release builds can be used interchangeably, older builds I am not so sure.

Not necessarily, internally Rowing, Row and their translations are interpreted as Row by https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/a31a2795ac469a450fafe1d1cef0347588b08985/src/FileIO/RideFile.cpp#L225-L252

The Data Processor did not work with the Qt5 build either.
I've found the reason though; Developer Data column headers seem to have been massaged since DEV 5001 build. I must have missed that.

to

-> adapted the processor -> fixed.

The cache got rebuild on every change between this snapshot and v3.7-sp1 release builds too. That's expected?

Thanks, Felix

That was part of XData changes to enable the inclusion of developer fields in FIT file export for v3.7 release.

iIRC this is related to differences in computing checksums between versions.

PS: WRT Row vs Rowing in Calendar if you can comment on the Calendar thread it would be useful since that is a feature currently being developed.
