Re: Compiling RTG on EL9

Have you tried the rtg2 fork on github? https://github.com/synergycp/RTG2 Its still pretty old, like 2009, but there was an update made just 2 years ago with MariaDB support. I stopped using rtg/rtg2 around 2015, but I was always a huge fan of it. -John > On Jul 12, 2024, at 6:19 PM, Nick Hill
