Docker Container - YAML issue

[vsoch]

I'm trying to build a Dockerfile, so far I have:

FROM ubuntu:18.04

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y g++ gcc \
                                         cmake clang-3.9 \
                                         wget \
                                         libfreetype6 \
                                         libyaml-cpp-dev \
                                         libsdl2-dev \
                                         software-properties-common \
                                         freetype2-demos \
                                         libfreetype6-dev

# above installs cmake 3.10.2, gcc 7.3.0

# Boost
RUN wget https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.66.0/source/boost_1_66_0.tar.gz && \
    tar -xzvf boost_1_66_0.tar.gz && \
    cd cd boost_1_66_0 && \
    ./bootstrap.sh && \
    ./b2 install

# boost header files in /usr/local/include/boost
# compiled libraries in /usr/local/lib

RUN mkdir -p /code

ADD . /code
WORKDIR /code

RUN cd src && \
    cmake -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/lib -DHALLEY_PATH=../halley -DBUILD_HALLEY_TOOLS=1 -DBUILD_HALLEY_TESTS=0 -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/include/boost .. && \
    make

Make gets somewhat far, but I error out on

I tried different installations of yaml and decided it would be easiest to ask for your help! Have you seen this before?

Ubuntu ships with with old versions of yaml-cpp... you'll have to go and get a version that's >= 0.5.3.

[vsoch]

Ah that must be it! I'll give it a try.

[vsoch]

Latest (0.6.2) got a bit farther, but not much:

I'm trying 0.5.3 exact version now.

[vsoch]

Success!

I'm going to build the container from scratch now, and figure out how to get access to the video devices. I think worst case scenario I can run a Singularity container (more seamless connection to host) and (fingers crossed) get some of the tests working. If I put together a recipe that works I'll write up some instructions and add the finished Dockerfile / Singularity recipe to the repo - minimally others can pull the container and have a quick way to get started!

[vsoch]

Thanks for your help! If others run into this in the future, your advice was spot on - and even the (most recent) versions will bug out too, so finding the exact version is the way to go. E.g.,:

# yaml-cpp
RUN wget https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/archive/yaml-cpp-0.5.3.tar.gz && \
    tar -xzvf yaml-cpp-0.5.3.tar.gz && \
    cd yaml-cpp-yaml-cpp-0.5.3 && \
    mkdir build && \ 
    cd build && \
    cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON .. && \
    make && \
    make install

Nice one :)
