Description Torkil Svensgaard 2021-02-19 07:06:06 MST 
Hi

We are looking at migrating to from Centos 8 to Centos 8 Stream due to the former going EOL later this year. 

I'm not able to install the packages built on CentOS 8 on CentOS 8 Stream so trying to do a fresh build and gettign this error:

"
rpmbuild -ta slurm-20.11.3.tar.bz2
[SNIP]
RPM build errors:

I'm not trying to build --with-mysql so why this error?

Mvh.

Hi Torkil,

The "--with-mysql" flag just makes sure that the slurm package depends on the appropriate sql package for the system, and doesn't actually control if the build with mysql or not.  The configure script looks for it by default and if it finds it builds it.

As written, the slurmdbd package generated by the spec file is basically useless without mysql support (since its the only supported storage type right now), so the spec file assumes its there.

I would suggest pulling down the development files for mariadb so that it can build mysql support in for now which should let the build continue.

Let me know if this helps!
Thanks!

Hi Tim

Thanks for the explanation, worked just fine with -devel packages installed.

Mvh.
