[developers] Compiling FFTB on Ubuntu 19.10

[Alexandre Rademaker]

Hi Woodley,

I had to reinstall my machine and now I am trying to recompile all the tools. I gave up for compiling them for MacOS. That would be great for me, but in the MacOS I haven’t passed from the first step below. So I am compiling everything in a docker running Ubuntu 19.10.

My goal is to have FFTB running again, I can't use the acetools binaries you provided because it seems that http://sweaglesw.org/svn/treebank/trunk/web.c still don’t have the changed you made during a conversation in Cambridge:

Line 1290:

  addr.sin_addr.s_addr = 0; // inet_addr("127.0.0.1”);

Without that change, running FFTB inside the docker is not easy. We need a proxy server for redirecting the ports (as documented in http://moin.delph-in.net/FftbTop#FFTB_on_remote_machine), but with that change, we don’t need to proxy and can use the docker native way to redirect internal to external ports.

I have tried to follow the steps that worked for me last time:

1. install liba
2. install repp-0.2.2
3. install libace
4. Install libtsdb

I have success for 1-3, but in step 4 I got an error. The error was caused by

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltsdb

This is a little bit strange because it seems that during the compilation of libtsdb it is looking for this same library… am I right?

The complete trace is below. I didn’t see this error before. Can you help me? I am blocked by this error...
