You could modify the script here for CentOS:

If you do that, we should add a new page for CentOS. Which either you can do if you are up to it, or you can send it my way and I’ll take care of it.

So I tried to do this, but ran into trouble with cmake requiring kqueue’s, which Centos doesn’t seem to support

Building libdispatch

Invoking CMake:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release '-GUnix Makefiles' -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DDISPATCH_ENABLE_TEST_SUITE=0 -DDISPATCH_SANITIZE= --no-warn-unused-cli --warn-uninitialized -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake3/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:148 (message):

  Could NOT find kqueue (missing: KQUEUE_INCLUDE_DIRS)

Call Stack (most recent call first):

  /usr/share/cmake3/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:388 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)

Hello Simon, 

I'm not the expert at it, but I used the instructions at http://etoileos.com/downloads/installtrunk/, and they worked for me.

Of course, I have my own agenda mentioning Etoile here: they have this thing called 
Pragmatic Smalltalk, and I would like to see at least some more examples of how to build applications with it. Maybe they notice this 😙?

But as I said, I think their build instructions will give you what you need. 

I tried this also, but the instructions there are a bit out of date. Again with the dreaded cmake requirement (to compile clang), and again I couldn’t get it to work, but that’s probably because I was forced too far off the beaten path by cmake.

Given the existence of the script mentioned above, it may be easier to install Ubuntu into a VM and go from there :)

Thanks for the suggestions though :)

Simon
