CentOS

CentOS 7 (similar to Red Hat 7)

CentOS 7 does not (by default) provide a C++14 compiler. As a result, we use the installer to build a more recent gcc version and only use a few operating system packages to satisfy PyLith dependency requirements. Additionally, the automake (v1.13.4) has a bug related to dependencies, so we also build the autotools suite (m4, autoconf, automake, libtool).

Operating system packages

yum install -y \
    gcc \
    gcc-c++ \
    make \
    file \
    which \
    diffutils \
    gettext \
    automake \
    autoconf \
    libtool \
    curl \
    curl-devel \
    openssh \
    perl-IPC-Cmd \
    libtiff \
    libtiff-devel \
    unzip \
    bzip2 \
    git \
    ca-certificates
