I am trying to use Alpine Linux for a containerized C++ application. We are trying to switch from Ubuntu to Alpine Linux due to image size.
I encountered several errors in the C++ build process, and most of them were resolved by installing the appropriate package. I have finally reached a point where I cannot get past this particular error:
undefined reference to `operator new(unsigned long)@GLIBCXX_3.4'
Upon some research, I came upon a suggestion to check the /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.28 file for presence of GLIBCXX_3.4 using the following command, with the output:
bash-5.0# strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.28 | grep GLIBC
GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW
GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH
There's not GLIBCXX_3.4 or any version of GLIBCXX or GLIBC.
Running the same command in Ubuntu yields the following:
root@379aa5a61642:/app# strings /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/libstdc++.so | grep GLIB

Clearly, Ubuntu seems to have all the GLIB versions. Can anyone help me with how to resolve this?
Thank you.
