CentOS 8 Builds
Description
Hi everyone, I tried to revert to an older build of the repo (that still had CentOS 8 support) in order to compile it for CentOS8. I managed to get most of the dependency, except for devtoolset8 and centos-release-scl.
However, when running etc/Build.sh I get this error

I'm not a C dev so this kinda stump me after many hours of trial. Can anyone help or have a build of OpenRoad available for CentOS8 built already? It would be great if we can provide these builds due to many system still running older versions of CentOS (for compatibility issue).

CentOS 8 has reached EOL, we only build on RHEL/RockyLinux9.
@gogito, your problem looks like either the sta submodule is out of date or a build-cache issue.

I did suspect that and git pull the latest version of sta. Also I did Build.sh -clean.
It's unfortunate that we can't builld for Cent8 just because it's EOL (and only just a few months). My understanding is that it's entirely possible to still build it if the Cent8 system has all the required package but if not, it's pretty much impossible due to many repo also being EOL.
Would rocky8/alma8 still be able to build? They should be package compatible with cent8 but not EOL yet

CentOS 8 was EOL in 2021: https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/

Ah my mistake, I confused it with Centos7
@gogito, I don't think there's much we can do to support CentOS7.
CentOS8 should be supported as it is compatible with RHEL8/RockyLinux/AlmaLinux.
Looking at the logs, and that you did not find devtoolset8, your issue is likely due to the compiler version.
Please try with GCC 9 or greater.
