Which Linux distro is PixInsight built on
« on: 2018 May 19 01:48:08 »
Having just encountered an issue regarding CXXABI_1.3.8 when trying to install PixInsight on CentOS 7, which comes about as a result of CentOS 7 having an older version of gcc than that used to build PixInsight, I was wondering which distro the developers use to build PixInsight on?  I figured if I switched to that distro it might avoid a similar issue cropping up in future.

Of course I should've probably stuck to using Linux Mint!  :D

PixInsight is being developed on Read Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 7.5. The rest of platform-specific versions are ports of the main development trunk on Linux.

I hope the next version will solve most incompatibility issues encountered on the latest Linux distributions.
