To compile and run QnetGateway on a CentOS 7 machine (such as may currently be?

running an Icom G3 gateway), it is necessary to do some additional steps, as the

g++ version installed by default on CentOS 7 is a little too old. There is?

probably a cleaner way of doing this, but the below worked for me.

?

You will need to compile the correct version of GCC from source following these?

instructions. All commands run as root, and note the compilation of GCC will?

take some time, depending on how many cores you have available:

?

? ? yum -y install unzip git libconfig-devel wget automake libmpc-devel mpfr-devel gmp-devel

? ? curl ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/sourceware.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-4.9.2/gcc-4.9.2.tar.bz2 -O

? ? tar xvfj gcc-4.9.2.tar.bz2

? ? cd gcc-4.9.2

? ? ./configure --disable-multilib --enable-languages=c,c++

? ? make -j

? ? make install?

? ??

? ? * Make sure /usr/local/bin is in the system path.

? ??

? ? cp /usr/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20 /lib64/

? ? rm -f /lib64/libstdc++.so.6

? ? ln -s /lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20 /lib64/libstdc++.so.6

?

Then follow the normal compile and install instructions.

?

The above was done on a server running in Openstack, so I was not able to verify

full operation, but I hope to be able to do this on an Icom G3 server very soon.

It would be awesome if someone else were able to test this too in case I've missed?

something. The plan is to replace the Icom gateway software for the repeater in?

question, but still keep the callsign registration part.

Originally we'd planned to put ircDDBGateway on there, but I think this will work

better.
