The make process does not work on rhel7 or centos7 #12

Closed chenri closed 1 year ago

chenri commented 1 year ago

On such a server, you will get the error:

$ make Using gold linker... Building _release/inotify-info... ---- inotify-info.cpp ---- g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wimplicit-fallthrough=2’ make: *** [_release/inotify-info.o] Error 1

The g++ version is

$ g++ --version g++ (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)

Is it possible to update the make process so that it can cover platforms?

Thanks

Richard

We had this bug 10 entered previously:

The core issue there, we think, would be this:

statx() was added to Linux in kernel 4.11; library support was added in glibc 2.28.

and

the Centos 7 kernel is still 3.10 and glibc on 2.17

So I think we're going to run into more issues than just getting it to compile.

From this chart: distrowatch centos It looks to me like we would need CentOS 8.5 or higher to support statx().
