The title says it all, actually. But allow me to specify the question:
Assuming I were to compile an application that uses libffi, libGL, dlfcn, and SDL, would said binary run on other Linux distributions with same architecture, etc?
The reason I ask is because of the directory /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
- I might be wrong, but I assume this directory is something rather Ubuntu-specific, no?
So, how portable are binaries compiled on Ubuntu really?
