Fedora EPEL 7 and enabling devtoolset

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hi,

I'm starting to hit more and more challenges in the OpenVPN 3 Linux
project with the RHEL-7 GCC version (which is 4.8.5), especially when it
comes to C++ building.  I've tried to keep the project compatible with
RHEL-7 as the oldest supported distro, but it is getting harder and
harder.  In addition to newer C++ standards making the development of
the project easier.

I do see that RHEL/CentOS 7 has the needed compiler versions in the
devtoolset.  I also stumbled across this blog post:
<https://smoogespace.blogspot.com/2018/03/using-red-hat-developer-toolset-dts-in.html>

But ...

a)  Is that blog post still relevant?  I couldn't find anything in the
Fedora packaging guidelines giving any further advice.

b)  By adding the devtoolset as a build dependency, is that enough?
Will the final .rpm need anything else installed to function?  Like a
newer libstdc++?

c)  Which other traps may I be facing using a devtoolset for EPEL-7 builds?
