Building a Linux binary on CentOS 5

In order to build a Linux binary that will work on most systems, use an old version of Linux. We have chosen CentOS 5, which first came out in 2007.

  1. Download ISO from http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/x86_64/ and install it on a virtual machine.
  2. Install Developer Toolset 2.1 from http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/devtoolset/#dts21
  3. Extract CMake binary from http://www.cmake.org/download/
  4. Enable the toolset from the command line: scl enable devtoolset-2 bash
  5. Configure DeNovoGear with the flags -DBUILD_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS=1 -DUSE_STATIC_LIBS=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
