Building the C Media Driver on CentOS Linux 8¶
Problem¶
You want to test the Aeron C Media Driver and other tools, such as AeronStat on CentOS Linux 8
Solution¶
You will need to download the source code from GitHub and build it yourself.
Steps¶
After cloning the Aeron repository from GitHub, checkout the latest release branch:
git checkout 1.42.0
Next, ensure that the system is up-to-date:
dnf check-update
Next, install GCC and related (you may require sudo):
dnf install gcc gcc-c++ make
Next, install CMake (you may require sudo):
dnf install cmake
Next, ensure java is available:
java -version - this should point to a valid JDK 8+ install. If not, install it.
Finally, run the build:
./cppbuild/cppbuild
That should build successfully. To confirm, try running Aeron's Media Driver. In the /cppbuild/Release/binaries folder, execute:
./aeronmd -Daeron_print_configuration=true
Other Linux distributions and versions are likely to have different steps required. See the Aeron homepage for compiler requirements.
