There are CentOS 8 Vagrant boxes from generic and bento.

Yes, I'm already setting up one from generic. This should be done by today.

Ok, so I setup the vm with the following packages installed:

    sudo yum -qy install epel-release
    sudo yum -qy repolist
    sudo yum -qy install epel-release
    sudo yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
    sudo yum -qq update
    sudo yum -qy groupinstall 'Development Tools'
    sudo yum install -qy pkgconfig python3 openssl-devel libpcap-devel sqlite-devel boost-devel libasan
    sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3

After that, I manually wanted to test ndn-cxx and got an error:

sudo yum -qy install epel-release

This is installed twice?

Ah yes... python... https://gitlab.com/ita1024/waf/issues/2259

Please do what it says and report back, because it could be many things and the error message doesn't say.

These are required to properly enable PowerTools and then install devel packages.

sudo yum -qy install epel-release

Yes, I'll remove the duplicate.

Noted.

Ehm... you read my comment wrong. I was quoting you and then commenting/asking about the part quoted directly above my comment... I think you've reversed the order.

So I ran with the mentioned flag in verbose and got this: Please point out if I'm missing anything.

Uhm, weird, I have no idea at the moment.

Btw,

sudo yum -qy groupinstall 'Development Tools'

does not seem to be strictly required. You can just install gcc-c++ and git-core the regular way.

Given that there's been no progress on this bug for months, I'd suggest we explicitly disable PCH on CentOS 8 in our CI scripts, and warn users of this bug (and its workaround) in the installation instructions.
