What I did on CentOS 7 was “yum install centos-release-scl” followed by “yum install devtoolset-8” in order to get gcc 8.3 and friends. I’m at work, and I cannot remember whether or not installing the centos-release-scl actually succeeded, but the install devtoolset-8 definitely fails, saying that it cannot be found.

Hi George,

 

Doesn't CentOS 8 provide all the tools from devtoolset-8 in the standard repos? What else are you missing?

 

 

I can confirm on the RHEL side at least that SCL's are now first-class citizens and are directly in the distro.  While I haven't checked, I assume they remained that way in the CentOS Linux 8 rebuild.

Hello all,

 

When a new major version of CentOS is released, what is the typical timeframe for the Software Collections Library to catch up? Specifically, I’m looking for devtoolset-8 for CentOS 8, and I can’t seem to find it.

 

Thanks,

 

George Eckert
