Installation instructions for CentOS7 #180

NicolasRouquette · 2019-03-30T18:47:09Z

Building ET on CentOS7 is tricky.

First, the cmake utility is too old (2.8) so we have to install cmake3 explicitly:

yum -y install epel-release
yum install cmake3

(found this tip here: https://www.heliocastro.info/?p=238#comment-5624)

Next, building failed:

It looks like you are missing gflags and protobuf. IIRC on centos the packages are google-gflags and protobuf-devel . Please add to the README so future people know how to compile on centos

NicolasRouquette · 2019-04-01T16:26:24Z

@MisterTea Can you please be more specific about what you're suggesting?

MisterTea · 2019-04-01T17:20:38Z

sudo yum install protobuf-devel protobuf-compiler gflags-devel libsodium-devel libutempter-devel

Then rerun cmake.

NicolasRouquette · 2019-04-01T21:03:41Z

Thanks, that worked.

Unfortunately, I can't use et because our CentOS-based VM is in the GovCloud where we have a mandatory banner on login; so all I get is:

Error in authentication with etserver: Error:  Connection error communicating with et deamon: No such file or directory.
, please make sure you don't print anything in server's .bashrc/.zshrc

MisterTea · 2019-04-01T21:05:29Z

That's fixed in master. What are you using for a client? On mac, you can "brew install --HEAD et" to get master branch

NicolasRouquette · 2019-04-01T21:10:05Z

I'm running on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

I followed these instructions:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jgmath2000/et
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install et

Should I use something else?

MisterTea · 2019-04-01T21:11:00Z

Yep, you should build from source using latest master to support logins with banners.

Argh... on ubuntu 18.04 LTS, I couldn't build:

sudo apt-get install cmake

"Protobuf compiler version doesn't match library version 3.0.0"

That sounds bad. Can you run "ccmake ../" and see what the difference is between protobuf and protobuf compiler?

TraceyC77 · 2019-04-10T14:11:24Z

On a related note, the installation documentation on the main Download page https://eternalterminal.dev/download/ are out of date in respect to the instructions on https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal

MisterTea · 2019-04-22T18:36:57Z

@NicolasRouquette were you able to get the protobuf issue resolved? It looks like compiling in centos works

salemhilal · 2019-05-14T15:46:50Z

For what it's worth, the installation instructions now in the README were enough for me to get the service running on CentOS 7. My local client (mac osx) hangs still when trying to connect (in a hard, non-killzble way), and I'm not sure if that's related or not.
