Hi,
the Tor Browser Bundle binaries available at https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/5.5.4/ do not run on musl-libc-based systems, like Void Linux, Alpine Linux, and other Linux distributions. I believe that's the case because the Tor Browser Bundle binaries are compiled dynamically to glibc, making them fail when ran on systems that any other libc. I'm sending this message to the Tor mailing list and to the Musl mailing list, so we can together find a solution.
I think there are 4 possible solutions: - the tor developers can provide binaries built with musl libc - the tor developers can provided statically compiled binaries (with any libc, but musl is especially good for this). These statically compiled binaries would run on any system independently of the libc. - the musl libc developers could identify why the binaries fail on musl and try to add compatibility - Linux distributions that use musl libc could figure out how to compile the Tor Browser Bundle from source and provide binaries themselves
What does everyone think about these possible solutions? Which one is the best? Are there any others you can think about?
Thanks for everyone's time, D. Simon
