Hi rith88,

It is in the plans to support building on Rocky Linux 8 eventually, but as of now, only CentOS 7 as been certified as a Linux distribution to build OpenRV.

Thanks,
Ian

There's no actual error in your output, but I notice it's failing to build ffmpeg. I also failed here building on Rocky because ffmpeg's build scripts are using tcsh and it's not installed on Rocky by default. You can try sudo dnf install tcsh and hopefully that will fix your problem.

I'm currently writing a build guide for Rocky 9, which I hope to finish soon. hopefully that will help you out if you're still stuck.

Hi Roger,
Very keen to read your Rocky9 guide when you are done. Currently stuck trying to build for it.

@fathomrhys, the guide is here: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenRV/blob/main/docs/build_system/config_linux_rocky9.md

Just a note that I wrote the guide for Rocky 9 and not 8. But I think it should be mostly similar. If you get blocked let me know and I can put one together for Rocky 8 as well.

Hi Roger, Thanks very much for this! It’s Rocky 9 that I want to build for anyway.
