OS Support:
- The officially supported OS is the 64 bit version of "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 8.5 (Ootpa)"
- The binary distribution of ACS (tarball) is made for this OS
- We also successfully use its clone "CentOS Stream 8"
- For all machines the expected kernel is 4.18.0
- Unofficially, "CentOS Stream 9" has also been used successfully
The expected and actual versions of compilers, ORBs and various RPMs can be found by running the command =acsConfigReport=, both for required RPMs and for software shipped together with ACS. To get a rough overview before installing ACS, here are the most basic ones:
- Gcc: 8.5 RHEL 8.5.0
- Java: openjdk-11.0.4
- Python: 3.8.6
- ACE: 7.0.6
- TAO: 3.0.6
- JacORB: 3.9
- omniorb: 4.3.0
The operating system dependencies are:
- redhat-lsb-core
- ksh
- gcc
- gcc-c++
- gcc-fortran
- libX11-devel
- libffi-devel
- perl
- readline-devel
- bzip2
- bzip2-devel
- openssl-devel
- openldap-devel
- libxml2-devel
- freetype-devel
- libxslt-devel
- sqlite-devel
- expat-devel
- bison
- flex
- autoconf
- unzip
- dos2unix
- tcl-devel
- tk-devel
- procmail
- cppunit-devel
- doxygen
- graphviz
There are new requirements needed to replace swig, boost, astyle and xerces-c (Since 2022FEB):
- astyle
- boost-devel
- swig
- xerces-c-devel
If you need to build doxygen/graphviz instead of installing at OS level, you also need (Since 2022FEB):
- cmake
- libarchive
There are new requirements needed to replace Tcl/Tk (Since 2022APR):
- tcl-devel *
- tk-devel *
* Although these dependencies were already publicized as required, they were actually ignored during ACS installation. They are now being taken advantage of and so we announce they're as a requirement of 2022APR+ ACS releases
