I found I couldn’t build mapcrafter, a high performance Minecraft map renderer written in C++, on my own RHEL6.6 without some workaround and additional RPM packages. This is just a memo. It may be useful info for CentOS users, I guess.
At first, you need to install the newer boost packages from the EPEL repo. If you didn’t enable the repo, issue a following command or enable the repo manually.
# yum install http://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/linux/fedora/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpmEPEL offers boost-1.48 with the package name, boost148-*, you can install them.
# yum install boost148-devel boost148-iostreams boost148-system boost148-filesystem boost148-program_optionsAs mapcrafter is written in C++11 and RHEL6 is shipped with old gcc-4.4, you also need to install the latest devtoolset including gcc-4.9 from scl, Software Collection repo. Check whether the scl repo is enabled and enable it.
# subscription-manager repos --list-enabled
# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-server-rhscl-6-rpmsAfter enabling the repo, install the newer gcc-c++ package from the repo.
# yum install devtoolset-3-gcc-c++OK, now you can download the latest source codes of mapcrafter with git command.
# git clone https://github.com/mapcrafter/mapcrafter.git
# cd mapcrafterAdd two lines to the CMakeList.txt under the mapcrafter/ directory in order to make the gcc use boost148. NEVER EDIT other CMakeList.txt such as mapcrafter/src/CMakeList.txt.

# cp mapcrafter/src/mapcraftercore/libmapcraftercore.so /usr/lib64/You can consult with documentation for textures and resources used by mapcrafter. Enjoy!
