[jira] [Commented] (DAFFODIL-2710) build.md instructions fail for RedHat - no mxml-devel
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2710?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17583033#comment-17583033 ]
John Interrante commented on DAFFODIL-2710:
-------------------------------------------
I did not respond earlier due to the lack of troubleshooting information. "I tried the build instructions on RHEL 8.2." and "Trying the centos instructions installed many things, but 'sbt compile' still failed because mxml not found." do not have sufficient information, whereas a terminal dump showing every step's command and its output might provide enough information to spot where a step might have gone off the rails without anyone else having to set up a RedHat 8 box and follow the build instructions too.
Nevertheless, there is an easier way than following the CentOS 7 instructions to build mxml from its source code. A google search told me that the mxml-devel package is actually available in binary form from the EPEL 8 repository (<https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mxml> and <https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=22573158>). You need to follow these instructions to enable the EPEL 8 repository (<https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/whats-epel-and-how-do-i-use-it>). Once EPEL 8 is enabled, you should be able to say "yum install mxml-devel" and "sbt compile" should be able to find mxml's header and library.

> Reporter: Mike Beckerle
> Priority: Blocker
>
> When using the build.md instructions to get the C tools needed for runtime2, User using RedHat tried the fedora instructions and it failed to find mxml-devel.
> Trying the centos instructions installed many things, but 'sbt compile' still failed because mxml not found.
> It appears separate commands are needed to install mxml-devel.
