[opensource-dev] Linux

[Nicky Perian]

Having read the comments on viewer-release repo and your comment concerning ABI mismatch I want to submit the following:

I have put together in a VM Debian / stretch. My past linux builds have been on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 using gcc-4.8 and 4.9.

Stretch has neither gcc-4.9 nor libpngl2. Both of these are in wheezy. Adding wheezy to sources.list then apt-get update and apt-get install will place these in stretch then, comment out the lines about wheezy in sources.list and apt-get update again. Don’t  apt-get upgrade with the wheezy lines active.  Building non Alex Ivy code went fine with this setup.

Ubuntu is a good choice also and has the advantage of being able to build a VM quicker.

I don’t think repo commit comments is the right place to discuss future development.
