How to install GLIBC version 2.29 in the Linux Binary Compat layer?

Activitywatch is a program that is used to track the amount of time that is spent on a computer, they only officially have support for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

I have installed the Linux Binary compatibility layer and installed activitywatch under /compat/ubuntu/opt/activitywatch, when I run it I get this error:
Code: 
[3756] Error loading Python lib '/compat/ubuntu/opt/activitywatch/aw-server/libpython3.9.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /compat/ubuntu/opt/activitywatch/aw-server/libpython3.9.so.1.0)

It says GLIBC_2.29 is not found, which is the error that is preventing me from using this program.
 
UPDATE: I have fetched the tar archive for GLIBC 2.29 and tried to make it, but it fails with this error:
Code:

Linux compatibility layer is based on RedHat/CentOS. Ubuntu typically has a much newer glibc than RH/CentOS. So I suggest downloading a version for RH/CentOS, or learn how to set up a Ubuntu jail for this (there should be some howtos floating around here).
 
Here is how to create an Ubuntu jail, basically you need to
Bash: 
 debootstrap --arch=amd64 --no-check-gpg bionic /compat/ubuntu

Is this the one you meant? https://activitywatch.net

It's open source, so why don't you try to build it for FreeBSD natively? Create a proper port for it. As far as I can see all its dependencies (Python, NodeJS and Rust) are available.

Yes this is what I meant. I did read a post on their forum that said that it is possible to build it for freebsd, I will try to build it and post updates here. Thanks
