devtoolset is called gcc-toolset in RHEL8.

The following commands worked for me:

microdnf install -y gcc-toolset-12
scl enable gcc-toolset-12 bash
gcc --version
# gcc (GCC) 12.1.1 20220628 (Red Hat 12.1.1-3)

There is an official way to install new gcc on rhel/centos, that will not disrupt original gcc that comes with the distribution. sudo yum install centos-release-scl-rh sudo yum install devtoolset-8-gcc-c++ and then run: scl enable devtoolset-8 bash This will run new bash session with a brand new gcc with the support of c++17 you can make it permanent system-wide, just create etc/profile.d/enable_devtoolset.sh #!/bin/bash source scl_source enable devtoolset-8 and reboot The way it works is that linking process will take all the symbols provided by original libstdc++ provided by the distro, and then link in statically missing parts that comes with new compiler.

r/CentOS on Reddit: What is the backwards comptability of devtoolsets between OS versions?
November 27, 2019 -

Hi,

The company I work for is developing a software package that is distributed to users. We made a linux port available last year and we're starting to run in to compatibility issues with different versions glibc/libstdc++, especially as we start moving to newer versions of gcc/g++. It seems like devtoolset will solve our problem, but I have a question about it which is this:

If we start using devtoolset-8 on centos 8, will our binaries work on centos 7?
If not, since devtoolset-8 is available on centos 7, can I use docker to build my distrutables on CentOS 7 with devtoolset-8 with the expectation that the automated tests will equally succceed on Centos 7?

Thanks for reading,
We're currently on ubuntu and we're looking to switch to centos 8.
