@engaging-meerkat unfortunately it’s not possible to build this project on Centos7.  
See [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show\_bug.cgi?id=1546704](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1546704) our code requires \_GLIBCXX\_USE\_CXX11\_ABI=1 setting enabled and it’s not possible in this old kernel.

I am not an expert in linux distributions. Especially given that CentOs reached end of life and does not exist anymore. I suggest you google for alternatives. I personally use debian distributions, so I am the last person you want to consult about RHEL flavors 🙂

having said that CentOS7 is very old distribution and I suggest replacing it with something modern.
