Description
### Discussed in https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenRV/discussions/392
Originally posted by **tiltX** February 8, 2024
I've successfully built OpenRV on CentOS 7 but I had to perform some extra steps that were not mentioned in the instructions (OpenRV/docs/build_system/config_linux_centos7.md):
- it's necessary to install the ninja build system as well as meson: `sudo yum install ninja-build meson`
- at some point, the build failed with an error and upon inspection of the file name that was mentioned, I've noticed the shebang for tcsh at the beginning. I was able to complete the build after installing tcsh using `sudo yum install tcsh`
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with OpenRV/docs/build_system/config_linux_centos7.md and review the listed CentOS 7 prerequisites against the missing commands in the issue. Document installation of ninja-build, meson, and tcsh, then verify the guide clearly covers the dependencies needed to complete the build.
