I can't generate a .mof file with DSC using Rocky8.4 about powershell-dsc-for-linux HOT 1 OPEN

Given that we were trying to build DSC on a newer platform (rocky8), we decided to try to build DSC from source.

We followed the following guide,

https://github.com/microsoft/PowerShell-DSC-for-Linux

and performed the following steps:

1. Install the RPM repos that are used for the installation

   a. We Install the dnf-plugins support and enable the EPEL repo.
   (Which is the fedora build of Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux)
   NOTE: wget and tar are included to support Visual Studio code
   /usr/bin/dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core epel-release wget tar

2. Enable the Powertools and Development Tools and install the pre-requisite rpms.

/usr/bin/dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
/usr/bin/dnf -y groupinstall 'Development Tools'
/usr/bin/dnf -y install pam-devel openssl-devel python39 python39-devel libicu gssntlmssp unzip mlocate gcc-c++ make redhat-lsb-core
ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

3. Disable selinux

sed -i s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=permissive/ /etc/sysconfig/selinux
setenforce permissive

4. Install the powershell.

wget https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v7.1.4/powershell-7.1.4-1.centos.8.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh *.rpm && rm *.rpm

We then performed the following steps from the following online build steps:

(https://github.com/microsoft/PowerShell-DSC-for-Linux#building-and-using-dsc-and-omi-from-source)
Starting at building and using dsc and omi from source (see link above), we ran the following steps

5. git clone the DSC source

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerShell-DSC-for-Linux.git
cd PowerShell-DSC-for-Linux

6. Place the OMI source where DSC expects it alternatively clone from Git and symlink to omi/Unix
   wget https://github.com/microsoft/omi/archive/refs/tags/v1.6.8-1.tar.gz
   tar xzf v1.6.8-1.tar.gz

7. Build OMI in developer mode
   cd omi-1.6.8-1/Unix/
   ./configure --dev
   make -j

After running the make, we get the following errors in our build:

injector.cpp: In function ‘long unsigned int InjectorSetup()’:
injector.cpp:468:70: error: ‘void* memcpy(void*, const void*, size_t)’ writing to an object of non-trivially copyable type ‘class TestSystem::Globals’; use copy-assignment or copy-initialization instead [-Werror=class-memaccess]
