Build error for UPA examples on CentOS
I am completely new to Reuters.
I have just downloaded the UPA API and installed it on a Centos Server.
lsb_release -a
LSB Version: :core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch
Distributor ID: CentOS
Description: CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
Release: 6.3
Codename: Final
uname -a
Linux ADSAUHSGP01 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:19:21 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4)
However, the makefile for building rsslConsumer fails as shown below.
cat: /etc/oracle-release: No such file or directory
rm -f /obj/rsslConsumer.o
mkdir -p /obj/
mkdir: cannot create directory `/obj/': Permission denied
gmake: *** [/obj/rsslConsumer.o] Error 1
A quick look in the make file shows it is looking for RH, SUSE, or some Oracle Linux release.
My question is, as Centos is basically RH, is it feasible and correct to build the code for use on Centos by:
1) Modify the makefile to include a Centos build for each makefile I find
2) Some other magic not specified
Or is it pointless thing to attempt because the code will only run successfully on RH or SUSE or Oracle as specified in the makefile?.
I don't want to waste my time if it won't work properly.

The product is only supported for the operating systems stated in the product readme.
That being said, there is no reason that I can think of as to why the libs would not work on CentOs, but you are correct as you would need to update the makefile.
All the makefiles are geared to work for our supported OSes. If you run into a support issue on an unsupported platform for any Thomson Reuters Product, you would need to prove that the issue occurs on a supported platform to be addressed.

This is because the Makefile is detecting features by platform rather than by capability, the Makefile will have to be modified in one of many different ways to get it working.
Example 1: Replace RedHat test with a CentOS test
ifeq ($(findstring RedHat,$(DIST)),RedHat)
With the GNU recommended usage of findstring,
ifneq (,$(findstring CentOS,$(DIST)))
Example 2: Replace all platform detection code with feature detection

This also applies to RFA and all parts of Elektron SDK.
