Trafodon should be able to build with gcc 4.8.5 which is the default gcc version on RH7. Earlier voting indicated that he/she is unable to bring up Trafodion after building with 4.8.5 and the build failed on gcc 5.x.x version. Usually, it is cumbersome to switch to a different gcc version than what comes default in the redhat release. So, it is not clear whether he/she tried bringing up on RH7 or RH6. There has been some discussion earlier if Trafodion needs to be validated on RH7 on a daily basis. I believe the issues prevented to do daily build has been resolved. But, I am not sure which release path it is in 2.3.0 or 2.4.0.

Dave -----Original Message----- From: Sean Broeder <sbroe...@apache.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2018 11:58 AM To: dev@trafodion.apache.org Subject: [DISCUSS] gcc compiler support Hi All, During the current vote for the 2.3.0 release of Trafodion it was pointed out that using gcc compiler version 4.8.5 would result in build errors. I've looked around and I cannot find any documentation indicating which compiler versions are supported, however, it appears the version that gets used most prominently on the systems I've seen is version 4.4.7. While I think it is a good idea to move forward with a newer compiler, this change is not without risk and could result in a variety of other errors that are not yet known. Therefore, at this stage of the release, I would like to propose we open a JIRA to move to a newer compiler version that could be tested on the main branch during the next release cycle and list gcc compiler 4.4.7 as a build requirement. Opinions? Thanks, Sean
