Re: [packer] Packer is not allowing me to enable Software collection packages in Centos-7 with Packer

[Rickard von Essen]

And what's the output when you run that with Packer?

I am trying to build a centos-7 AMI with a packer. I am installing and enabling software collections packages in the shell script

 

#!/bin/bash

set -e

sudo yum install -y centos-release-scl

sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y && sudo yum install -y devtoolset-8

sudo scl enable devtoolset-8 bash

echo "Checking enabled SCL's"

echo $X_SCLS

echo "changing to Redis Directory"

cd $LOSANT_DIR/redis-6.0.5

echo "verifying the SCL before the code compillation"

echo $X_SCLS

echo $X_SCLS  must show a list of enabled software collections. When I am running from packer I am getting an empty list.

Can someone please help me.

Thanks,

Nandeep.

hi

the way you run the commands probably can re reviewed

when using sudo is just one command so

this command i think wont do what you want

sudo scl enable devtoolset-8 bash

but if you remove the sudo

scl enable devtoolset-8 bash

not sure will work, if i do a search it seems you should be using something like

source scl_source enable devtoolset-8

so check the documentation of devtoolset-8 how you are supposed to source the environment from a script

you can try like this 

# installing

sudo yum install -y centos-release-scl
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y && sudo yum install -y devtoolset-8

# checking 1

scl enable devtoolset-8 bash
echo "Checking enabled SCL's"
echo $X_SCLS
echo "changing to Redis Directory"
cd $LOSANT_DIR/redis-6.0.5
echo "verifying the SCL before the code compillation"

echo $X_SCLS

# checking 2

source scl_source enable devtoolset-8 bash

echo "Checking enabled SCL's"
echo $X_SCLS
echo "changing to Redis Directory"
cd $LOSANT_DIR/redis-6.0.5
echo "verifying the SCL before the code compillation"

echo $X_SCLS
