How can I build EMA binaries for AlmaLinux9?

Hi team!

We have to develop an EMA application (non-interactive provider) in C++ to run on an AlmaLinux9 server. I learned to create a Docker image with RTSDK - following your excellent instruction https://developers.lseg.com/en/article-catalog/article/deploy-and-run-elektron-sdk-docker - and it worked fine for oraclelinux7 (the example used in your guide). But when I replaced the base image oraclelinux:7 with almalinux:9 in the Dockerfile, I got an error during compilation:

292.4 [ 28%] Building C object Cpp-C/Eta/Applications/Examples/AuthLock/CMakeFiles/authlock.dir/rsslAuthLock.c.o
292.5 make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'RTSDK-BinaryPack_dacs_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND', needed by '../Cpp-C/Eta/Executables/ALM9_64_GCC1150/Optimized/authlock'.  Stop.
292.5 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:4700: Cpp-C/Eta/Applications/Examples/AuthLock/CMakeFiles/authlock.dir/all] Error 2
292.5 make: *** [Makefile:91: all] Error 2

Does this mean that RTSDK doesn't run on AlmaLinux? What is the recommended way to build binaries for AL9?

Here is the Dockerfile is was using:

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The almalinux is not a supported operating system. Please check the API compatibility matrix for the supported operating systems and compilers.

Although the EMA and ETA libraries are open source, some ETA examples rely on additional libraries that are only supported on specific platforms, such as those included in RTSDK-BinaryPack-2.3.1.L1.zip. The RTSDK Binary Pack doesn't provide libraries for almalinux.

The workaround is not building the ETA examples. You can do this by changing the cmake command to the following.

cmake ../ -DBUILD_UNIT_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_ETA_APPLICATIONS=OFF
