#185276 — develop for older debian versions

I develop software that should run on older debian releases starting
with wheezy. I would build directly in a VM with such an install, but
the problem is that my toolchain requires some rather modern pieces
which are not available in those versions.
Most libraries will be linked statically, the only exceptions being
libc and libstdc++.
Any ideas how to make it work?

Kind regards

You have three basic options.

1. Get all your toolchain's dependencies into backports.

2. Build all those dependencies in /usr/local or /opt

3. Use a different toolchain.
