No package 'libseccomp' found error during runc build

[lizhuqi]

Following the steps from the release note:

$ # create a 'github.com/opencontainers' in your GOPATH/src
$ cd github.com/opencontainers
$ git clone https://github.com/opencontainers/runc
$ cd runc
$ make
$ sudo make install

It failed in make step with following errors:

$ make
go build -i -ldflags "-X main.gitCommit="99c683a84fcfb0675883dc98eaa8c0bc3311e436" -X main.version=1.0.0-rc1" -tags "seccomp" -o runc .

Does your distribution include the pkg-config information for libseccomp? If not, please get them to do so. If you built libseccomp from scratch, install the libseccomp.pc file available in the source tree.

Hi Aleksa, thanks for reply! I've just run sudo apt-get install libseccomp2 to install the libseccomp2, can you tell me how to include the pkg-config information for libseccomp?

You should install pkg-config in your distribution. Though, the error makes me think that you do have pkg-config installed.

I've already installed the latest version of pkg-config. However, still it is saying No pacakge 'libseccomp' found. I am using "sudo apt-get install libseccomp2" to install the libseccomp. Is there any extra command I need to run to set up libseccomp?

Build error as below:
go build -i -ldflags "-X main.gitCommit="f516b5d0821f90515d38e79c4f5d4d221dc0c331" -X main.version=1.0.0-rc1" -tags "seccomp" -o runc .

Close this issue as I just build it with make BUILDTAGS=""

You can click through with the other pull request from @resouer of course, but for people who just come here from google:

libseccomp is not enough. You need either libseccomp-devel or libseccomp-dev, depending on your OS.

Just posting this here in case someone ends up here from search.
Be aware when you skip this with BUILDTAGS="". You might end up with such a thing when running docker for instance:

docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: seccomp: config provided but seccomp not supported: unknown.
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container:

The right fix is to install both seccomp2 and seccomp-dev, in the case of Ubuntu.
