Change subject: [docs] fix instructions for building Kudu on SLES ...................................................................... Patch Set 3: (1 comment) http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/19779/3/docs/installation.adoc File docs/installation.adoc: http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/19779/3/docs/installation.adoc@424 PS3, Line 424: : . Install `gcc8` and `gcc8-c++` (might require activating Development Tools : Module to add corresponding package repositories): : + : ---- : $ sudo zypper install gcc8 gcc8-c++ : ---- : : . NOTE: If building on SLES 15, the system compiler (GCC7) may be used : instead: : + : ---- : $ sudo zypper install gcc7 gcc7-c++ : ---- > I am conflused about the gcc version. Yes, using GCC8 is a common method -- GCC8 can be used to build Kudu on both SLES versions (I guess at this time we are talking about SLES12 and SLES15). What this doc is trying to say is that on SLES15 people can use GCC7 to build Kudu since GCC7 is a system compiler, so they don't need to enable/activate extra features and add extra package repositories (that would be the case if installing GCC8). Historically (i.e. starting SLES12), the recommended compiler on SLES for Kudu was GCC8, but since SLES15 now has C++17-capable system compiler, it can be used to compile Kudu. Does it bring any clarity now? Let me know what can be done to make this less confusing.
