pgagroal requires
On Rocky Linux (and similar) operating systems, the dependencies
can be installed via dnf(8) as follows:
dnf install git gcc cmake make \
libev libev-devel \
openssl openssl-devel \
systemd systemd-devel \
python3-docutils \
libatomic \
cjson cjson-develPlease note that, on Rocky Linux, in order to install the python3-docutils
package (that provides rst2man executable), you need to enable the crb repository:
dnf config-manager --set-enabled crbAlternatively to GCC, clang 8+ can be used.
