Hello everyone! I'm having trouble compilig git source since version 2.50 , for RHEL 6 (both in redhat 6-6 and 6.10).
the same source compiles fine in RHEL8 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.10 (Ootpa))
first compiler complans about missing random.h in compat/posix.h ,if you copy missing random.h file to RHEL6 machine to the /usr/include/sys directory then errors change to whole bunch of other errors like
error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before numeric constant
45 | #define toupper(x) sane_case((unsigned char)(x), 0)
both working and non working systems have same gcc 13-4.0 . Last version that compiles in both rhel 6 and rhel 8 is 2.49.1 Any ideas ?
