Building Erlang
Below versions of Erlang are available in respective distributions at the time of creation of these build instructions:
- RHEL(8.4, 8.5, 8.6) have
22.0.7 - Ubuntu 18.04 has
20.2.2 - Ubuntu 20.04 has
22.2.7 - Ubuntu 22.04 has
24.2.1 - SLES 15 SP3 has
22.3-1.26
The instructions provided below specify the steps to build Erlang version 25.0.1 on Linux on IBM Z for following distributions:
- RHEL (7.8, 7.9, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6)
- SLES (12 SP5, 15 SP3)
- Ubuntu (18.04, 20.04, 22.04)
General Notes:
- When following the steps below please use a standard permission user unless otherwise specified.
- A directory
/<source_root>/will be referred to in these instructions, this is a temporary writable directory anywhere you'd like to place it.
If you want to build erlang using manual steps, go to STEP 1.2.
Use the following commands to build erlang using the build script. Please make sure you have wget installed.
wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linux-on-ibm-z/scripts/master/Erlang/25.0.1/build_erlang.sh
# Build erlang
bash build_erlang.sh #[Provide -t option for executing build with tests and -j to specify java to be used from { IBM_Semeru_8, IBM_Semeru_11, Eclipse_Adoptium_Temurin_11, OpenJDK11 }]
If the build completes successfully, go to STEP 1.4. In case of error, check logs for more details or go to STEP 1.2 to follow manual build steps.
